Queen Emma Gardens
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

I searched the remarks for ownership mix language such as exact percentages, 'majority owner occupied,' or 'highly owner occupied,' and found no such references. The listings discuss amenities, security, and occupancy status of individual units, but not the building's owner-occupancy rate.
Public remarks directly confirm that the building has two elevators. This matches the current building context and is supported by multiple listings referencing elevator proximity and tower amenities.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

At least 4–5 listings across different towers say cable TV is included in the monthly maintenance (e.g., fees that “include cable TV” or a fixed cable charge billed via AOAO). MLS data (5/20 with CABTV) plus these explicit remarks indicate that building-arranged cable service is commonly bundled into the HOA charges, though one listing suggests some owners may opt out.
Evidence points to common-area electricity being included in the maintenance fee, though not every agent describes it clearly. I found explicit remarks such as "Maintenance fees include electricity" and "common area expenses," alongside several notes that the unit electric is sub-metered, which is consistent with a building-power/common-area inclusion. Overall this looks like a real building-level feature that is sometimes copied into MLS inconsistently.
No analysis available
Most listings and remarks state unit electricity is sub‑metered and billed to owners (many explicit lines: "Electricity is sub-metered" / "billed monthly to owner"), and only a very small number claim electricity is included. MLS checkbox count (1/20) and widespread submeter notes indicate unit electricity is not included in maintenance fees for this building.
CURRENT MLS shows GAS in association_fee_includes for just 2/20 listings and there are no agent remarks mentioning 'gas included' or 'gas in HOA fees.' Given the lack of any supporting remarks and sparse MLS checkbox usage, conclude gas is not a building-level included maintenance item.
There are multiple clear references to hot water being included, and the current MLS data supports it. One remark explicitly says "Maintenance fee includes hot water, water, sewer and cable," which is strong direct evidence. This appears to be a stable building feature rather than a one-off agent mistake.

No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is supported by both MLS data and repeated remarks. Listings explicitly mention "sewer" as part of the maintenance fee, often grouped with water and cable. The evidence is consistent enough to treat this as a building-level included utility.
Water inclusion is very strongly supported. Numerous remarks state "Maintenance fee includes water" or bundle water with hot water and sewer, and the MLS checkbox is present on most current listings. This looks like a standard building-level fee inclusion, not just copy-paste noise.
BBQ amenities are consistently mentioned in roughly 19 of 20 listings, with repeated phrases like "BBQ areas," "BBQ grills," "designated BBQ grills," and "barbecue/picnic area." The evidence appears to come from multiple agents and is reinforced by detailed remarks, not just checkbox data.

Moderate evidence: about 6–9 listings reference community gathering spaces (quotes: 'two Japanese-style tea houses', 'conference/meeting rooms', 'Cards Social Room'). While not always called a 'clubhouse', the reservable tea houses and meeting rooms function as community gathering spaces.
No analysis available
Dog-area evidence is modest but repeated: about 3 of 20 listings have the DGPRK amenity, and several remarks mention "dog walking with dog waste bins" or a "dog-friendly community." This is not as strong as BBQ or jogging-path evidence, but it is consistent enough to treat as a real building pet area amenity.
There is no meaningful remark-level evidence that the building has a doorman or lobby attendant. The only MLS signal is 1/20 listings with DOORMA, while the remarks repeatedly focus on security personnel and never mention a doorman, so this feature is best treated as absent.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: roughly 8–11 listings mention meeting or conference rooms with phrases like 'Conference Room/Cards Social Room' and 'meeting room'. Multiple listings explicitly list 'conference/meeting rooms' and a 'mini-library', indicating shared meeting facilities are available.
Dozens of listings (approximately 45) explicitly mention a lanai, balcony, covered lanai, or private balcony — key phrases include "private lanai", "enclosed lanai", "covered lanai", and "balcony off the kitchen." Although only 5 of 20 MLS checkbox entries mark PATDEC/COVPAT, the consistent, multi-agent remarks across many listings indicate the building offers patios/decks/lanai to units; evidence is strong and widespread rather than isolated copy/paste.
Walking/jogging path amenities appear in nearly every listing, with MLS data showing 20 of 20 and many remarks using phrases like "walking/jogging path," "walking paths," and even "1/3 mile jogging path." This is strong, repeated evidence across many listings and agents.

Substantial evidence: roughly 12–15 listings reference a recreation area or large amenity spaces (quotes include 'recreation area with a full kitchen', 'large recreation area', 'recreation/deck'). These are described as common areas for gatherings and events across multiple listings.
Moderately strong evidence: about 8–12 listings reference indoor recreation or social rooms and larger recreation areas (quotes include 'large recreation area', 'recreation area with a full kitchen'). Multiple listings note reservable tea houses and community gathering spaces, supporting inclusion.

Multiple listings explicitly mention building storage: phrases include "storage lockers available for rent", "three additional storage areas", "extra storage closet", and "storage units for rent". These references appear in at least 6 separate public remarks across different agent listings, which along with some MLS checkbox entries indicates the building offers storage/lockers (evidence strong and repeated across multiple agents, not merely a single copy/paste).
I searched for surfboard storage-related phrases and also checked for combined storage amenities that might imply it. The remarks mention storage closets, storage units, lockers, and bicycle parking, but nothing about surfboard storage. No evidence supports this feature.
No analysis available
Trash chute access is strongly supported by the MLS data, with 18 of 20 listings showing TRACHU. The remarks also explicitly confirm it in at least one listing, making this a high-confidence shared building feature.

No analysis available
There is no meaningful remark support for a whirlpool/hot tub/spa feature, and the MLS signal is extremely limited at just 1 of 20 listings. Based on the available public remarks, this appears to be a likely MLS copy-paste error rather than a real shared amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence across many listings that Queen Emma Gardens has shared swimming facilities. Current remarks mention pools in dozens of listings, including phrases like "swimming pool," "2 pools including kiddie pool," "wading pool," and "lap pool," often alongside other shared amenities. The repeated references across multiple agents and towers indicate this is a real building amenity, not a mistaken checkbox.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit salt-water pool wording like salt water pool, saltwater pool, or saline pool. The remarks repeatedly mention pools, kiddie pools, and wading pools, but never identify them as salt water. With no direct evidence, this is marked false.
No analysis available
Community/shared laundry is strongly supported across the remarks: at least 6+ listings explicitly mention it with phrases like "community laundry," "laundry room," "laundry facilities," and "laundry rooms in each tower." Historical MLS data also shows 16 of 20 current listings with the COMLAU amenity, making this a high-confidence building feature.
I looked for payment-related laundry wording such as coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card-operated, or laundry fee. The remarks mention community laundry, but none say it requires payment. With no explicit evidence of paid laundry, this is marked false at low confidence.
I searched for language like "laundry on each floor," "every floor," and "floor-by-floor laundry." The public remarks support laundry rooms in the towers, but not on every floor. Because there is no explicit every-floor confirmation, this is set to false with low-to-moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence supports assigned parking. Across many listings, remarks explicitly say '1 assigned and covered parking stall,' 'assigned covered parking stall,' 'your own reserved parking stall,' and similar wording, which appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error. The MLS history is also overwhelmingly consistent, with 19/20 listings showing ASSIGN.
There is very strong evidence that the building offers covered parking. Multiple remarks mention '1 covered parking,' 'assigned covered parking stall,' '1 indoor garage parking,' and 'huge underground parking,' confirming the amenity across listings. This aligns with the near-unanimous MLS metadata showing covered parking in 19/20 listings.
I searched the remarks for deeded parking language such as deeded, owned stall, or parking included in deed, but found none. The listings consistently describe parking as assigned, covered, tandem, or reserved, which indicates access/assignment but not ownership with the unit.
No analysis available
I looked for terms like parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, or extra cost for parking. The remarks discuss parking availability and stall type, but do not mention any separate parking payment.
Guest parking is consistently described across the listings. Numerous remarks reference 'ample guest parking,' 'plenty of guest parking for your family and friends,' and 'parking for guests,' indicating this is a genuine building amenity rather than a checkbox copy/paste issue. The MLS history also strongly supports it, with 17/20 listings marked for guest parking.
No analysis available
Tandem parking is offered for some units: although fewer listings (4/20) show TANDEM, multiple remarks specifically state 'tandem parking' or 'tandem stall' (e.g., 'Bonus 2 parking (tandem) stall', 'assigned covered tandem parking stall'), indicating tandem stalls are present for certain units.
No analysis available
I searched for waitlist language such as parking waitlist, waiting list, or join the list for parking. The remarks mention ample guest parking and assigned stalls, but nothing about a parking queue or waitlist process.
No analysis available
I searched for key card, fob access, card reader, or electronic entry language. The remarks repeatedly confirm fob/keycard-style access, so this feature is strongly supported.
Strong, repeated evidence across the listings confirms on-site security. Multiple agents describe the building as having '24-hour security,' '24/7 security,' 'security patrol,' and 'security monitored grounds,' which matches the high-confidence MLS pattern (18/20 listings with SECGUA).
I looked for security patrol, roving security, or patrolled building language. The remarks explicitly reference 24-hour security patrol, which supports this feature with high confidence.

This feature is supported by many listings and appears repeatedly in public remarks across different units. At least several remarks explicitly say "window AC," "newer window AC," or mention a bedroom AC unit, which confirms the building offers units with window-style air conditioning. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and does not look like a one-off copy-paste anomaly.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS pattern: 18 of 20 current listings have CONCRE checked. Public remarks do not explicitly say “concrete,” but the repeated high-rise tower descriptions are consistent with a concrete-built building, and there is no evidence of a recent change.
Double-wall construction is not supported by the public remarks, which are silent on the feature across many listings. Although 6 of 20 MLS entries currently check DOUWAL, the lack of any remark evidence suggests the checkbox may be unreliable or overstated.

Steel frame construction is not supported by the public remarks, and only 1 of 20 current listings has the checkbox marked. The evidence looks like a one-off MLS data point or copy/paste error rather than a true building feature.
MLS data shows slab checked in 3 of 20 listings, but none of the public remarks mention 'concrete slab' or similar. With sparse MLS checks and no supporting remarks, there is insufficient evidence to assert the building is generally on a concrete slab foundation.

All listings describe Queen Emma Gardens as a multi-tower high-rise with underground parking and 8+ acres of above-ground gardens, pools, tea houses, and residential units, confirming that the habitable structures are built above ground. Two current MLS entries explicitly check an above-ground construction flag, and the building’s design and setting make above-ground construction effectively certain despite limited checkbox usage.

I searched for short-term rental indicators such as STR, vacation rental, TVU, NUC, legal short-term rental, and also checked for 30-day minimum or owner-occupant-only restrictions. Nothing in the remarks explicitly permits STR, so the safest reading is that STR is not evidenced here.
I looked for hotel pool references such as hotel rental pool, hotel program, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, or managed-by-hotel language. None were found in the remarks, and there is no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed for this building.
I searched for mandatory participation wording like required rental program, must participate, cannot opt out, or mandatory hotel pool. The remarks contain no such language, and there is no evidence of any hotel rental pool program at all.
No analysis available
No analysis available
At least one remark says the property is fee simple, which means this is not a leasehold building and there is no land lease expiration year to extract. I searched for lease expiry, ground lease, renewal, and similar terms but found no applicable leasehold date.
The public remarks directly say the building is VA approved, which indicates VA financing is accepted. I found a clear explicit mention, so this is high confidence.
The remarks repeatedly advertise full hurricane insurance coverage, which is strong evidence the HOA provides comprehensive building insurance. This is reinforced by explicit wording that the building is "fully insured against hurricanes."
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, or passed fire inspection, but found nothing. The remarks mention security, resident managers, and general building upkeep, but none of that confirms a fire/life safety evaluation pass.

Numerous listings explicitly mention mountain/mauka/Punchbowl/Diamond Head views (examples: "city and mountain views", "mountain, sunset, and city views", "views of Punchbowl"). Evidence is consistent across many unit remarks and towers, matching the prior High-confidence historical record that mountain views are offered in building units.
Multiple current listing remarks (approximately 15 listings) explicitly mention Diamond Head — phrases include 'breathtaking DH and partial ocean view', 'Views of Diamond Head from living area', and 'facing Diamond Head'. The Diamond Head references appear across different agent remarks and towers (Queen Tower/King Tower/Prince Tower), indicating consistent building-level availability rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
City views are consistently advertised across many listings for this building, with 18/20 MLS entries showing CITY in the view field and no listings marked NONE. Current remarks repeatedly reinforce this with phrases such as "city views," "cityscape views," "city lights at night," and "stunning views of the city skyline," suggesting this is a real building-level offering rather than a one-off agent typo.
No analysis available
Multiple unit remarks (dozens across the provided listings) explicitly reference garden or courtyard views and landscaped grounds — e.g., "relaxing view of the garden and koi pond", "overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens", and "serene garden setting." Historical confidence was High and current agent remarks consistently describe the park-like 8+ acre gardens and koi ponds, indicating strong, building-level garden views for buyers.

Sunrise-oriented views/exposure appear in a minority of listings, but they are mentioned consistently enough to support the feature at the building level. The strongest evidence comes from remarks describing units on the "preferred east-facing side" and references to avoiding afternoon heat, which aligns with morning sun and sunrise views. This looks like a real partial-building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
Sunset views are explicitly stated in multiple listings (examples: "mountain, sunset, and city views", "panoramic views of the mountains, ocean, sunset"). The repeated explicit mentions across different listings provide strong confirmation that some units offer sunset/western exposure.
No analysis available
Multiple listings directly say residents can see Friday fireworks from the building/units. This is strong, explicit evidence of fireworks views from the property.

No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that Queen Emma Gardens has an on-site resident manager: historical MLS data showed RESMAN checked in 17/20 listings and current remarks across numerous listings explicitly state "on-site Resident Mgr.", "Resident Manager in King Tower", and "resident managers office." Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks rather than being isolated copy/paste, giving strong corroboration that the building maintains on-site management.
