Waikiki Lanais
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.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

Broad and consistent evidence: ~18 of 20 MLS listings indicate CABTV and multiple agent remarks explicitly state 'cable' or 'cable TV' is included (e.g., 'Maintenance fees include ... cable TV', 'Other Fee ... covers Cable TV'). The coverage appears across many different listings/agents and is consistently described as part of the maintenance fee.
Multiple listings (15/20 indicate OTCOEX) and many remarks explicitly say the HOA covers common area items or common area electricity (phrases like 'common areas' and 'common area items/expenses'), showing consistent, building-wide inclusion.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated confirmation: ~18 of 20 MLS entries list electricity and agent remarks frequently say 'electricity included' or 'electric is included' ('Maintenance fees include electricity'), indicating electricity is covered by the HOA.
Solid evidence: 14 of 20 MLS listings include GAS and numerous public remarks list gas alongside other utilities ('electricity, gas, cable, internet, water, sewer'), indicating building maintenance covers gas for units.
Consistent mentions: 15 of 20 MLS entries include HOTWAT and agent remarks often state 'hot water' or '(hot) water' is included in maintenance fees, supporting inclusion of building-supplied hot water.
Clear and repeated evidence: ~17 of 20 listings show INTSER and remarks commonly state 'internet' or 'wifi' is included in the monthly maintenance fee, demonstrating consistent building-level inclusion.
No analysis available
Strong corroboration: ~18 of 20 MLS listings include SEWER and agent remarks repeatedly state 'sewer' is included in maintenance/HOA fees, indicating sewer service is covered by the association.
Highly consistent evidence: ~18 of 20 MLS entries list WATER and numerous agent remarks explicitly say 'water' (and sometimes 'hot water') is included in the HOA/maintenance fee, confirming water is covered.
Multiple agent remarks across listings reference rooftop barbecue facilities (examples: 'rooftop BBQ area with wet bar/BBQ', 'rooftop grilling and entertainment space', 'BBQ grills', 'roof-top grilling and entertainment space'), and 15/20 current MLS listings check the BBQ amenity, indicating the building offers shared BBQ/grilling amenities.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Minimal evidence: 3/20 MLS checkboxes list car wash but zero public remarks mention 'car wash', 'auto wash', or similar. Given no narrative corroboration and no prior confidence, this appears to be isolated checkbox usage by some agents rather than a clearly documented shared building facility.

High and consistent evidence: 20/20 MLS listings historically marked EXEROO and multiple current remarks explicitly state 'fitness center', 'fitness room', 'gym' or 'exercise room' (e.g., 'fitness center', 'exercise room', 'workout room'). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and listing copies, supporting a high-confidence inclusion of this building amenity.

Building-level outdoor amenities are well documented: 12 of 20 MLS listings currently show PATDEC/COVPAT and numerous remarks describe a "rooftop recreation deck," "rooftop amenity deck/terrace," "rooftop BBQ/party area," and private "lanai." Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks (not isolated), supporting a high-confidence conclusion that the building offers patio/deck amenities.

Explicit mentions in multiple public remarks: 'rooftop recreation deck', 'Rec Deck', 'rooftop viewing recreational deck', and 'recreation deck' appear across listings. With 8/20 MLS checkboxes and repeated explicit language in remarks, there is strong evidence the building provides a shared recreation/amenity deck.

Strong corroboration: 16 of 20 MLS listings have SAUNA checked and numerous remarks explicitly mention "sauna" (including "mens' and womens' saunas" and simple "sauna"). The amenity appears across multiple agent listings, indicating a building-level facility.
Confidence 78%: One remark notes 'an available storge unit' along with the condo, and a few MLS entries flag storage (STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG), suggesting some units have access to separate storage in the building.
At least one public remark explicitly lists 'Bike and Surfboard storage' among the amenities, directly confirming the availability of surfboard storage.
No analysis available
Implied by MLS checkbox data: 19/20 current listings show TRACHU and previous data had Medium confidence. Although public remarks seldom state 'trash chute' explicitly, the nearly-universal checkbox presence across listings implies the building likely has a trash/garbage chute system.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence across listings: 18 of 20 MLS listings have WHIRLP checked and many remarks include phrases such as "jacuzzi", "hot tub", or "whirlpool" (e.g., "pool, jacuzzi, sauna", "rooftop pool & jacuzzi"). Multiple independent remarks confirm this shared amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence across listings that Waikiki Lanais has a shared swimming pool: 20/20 MLS listings list pool in amenities and many remarks state amenities such as "pool, whirlpool, jacuzzi," "rooftop pool & jacuzzi," and "pool on 6th floor." Multiple agent remarks (not isolated) describe the pool alongside other common amenities, indicating building-level access rather than a single-unit feature.
No analysis available
Remarks reference a pool and jacuzzi but do not specify that the pool is salt water. A keyword search for salt-related terms returned no evidence, so salt pool cannot be confirmed.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that the building offers shared/community laundry: historical MLS data had 18/20 listings with COMLAU, and numerous current public remarks explicitly state shared facilities (examples: "On site laundry facility", "Laundry on the 5th floor", "Community Laundry"). Mentions appear across multiple agent listings rather than a single outlier, strongly supporting inclusion of the feature.
Listings repeatedly reference community/on-site laundry and ample washers and dryers but do not specify any payment requirement or method. Because public remarks lack any reference to coin/card operation or fees, we cannot conclude the laundry is paid.
Multiple public remarks explicitly state laundry is available on each floor (e.g., "laundry facilities on each floor" and "laundry on each floor"). This directly supports the feature with high confidence.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building offers assigned parking: ~14 of the 20 current listings and their remarks explicitly mention assigned/reserved/deeded stalls (examples: 'one assigned covered stall', 'assigned parking stall', 'assigned, covered compact parking stall', '1 deeded parking stall'). The mentions appear across multiple agent listings rather than being isolated, supporting inclusion of parking_assigned = true.
Very strong evidence the building provides covered parking: about 19 of 20 current listings and many public remarks reference covered or garage stalls (quotes: 'assigned covered parking', 'covered parking stall', '1 covered parking stall'). This is confirmed across multiple agent remarks and matches high-confidence MLS checkbox history.
Multiple listings explicitly describe parking as 'deeded' or 'assigned/covered' and several units advertise a 'deeded parking stall' or 'reserved' stall included with the unit.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'parking charge', and related phrases. Listings consistently describe assigned/deeded parking stalls included with units but do not state any separate monthly parking fee.

Searched remarks for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', 'join waitlist for parking' and similar phrases. No evidence of a parking waitlist system was found, so absence is assumed but with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Multiple public remarks explicitly describe electronic fob/key-fob/keycard access at entry points and elevators. This provides strong evidence the building has card/fob access security.
One listing explicitly notes a resident manager, staff, and "24x7 security," indicating on-site security personnel for the building. MLS amenities back this up, with 6 of 20 listings checking the security-guard field, and many separate remarks describing the property as a secure, fob-access building. Taken together, these independent agent descriptions support that Waikiki Lanais provides staffed security services.
Several listings explicitly describe 24x7 security, on-site resident manager/staff, and secure entry. This indicates an active security/patrol presence in the building with high confidence.

19 of 20 current MLS listings include ACWIUN in inclusions. Numerous remarks explicitly state A/C is present—quotes include 'A/C in all bedrooms and the living space!' and 'Brand new A/C'—though few remarks explicitly say 'window' unit. Given the near-universal MLS checkbox across multiple listings/agents, there is strong evidence the building offers window A/C units.
Strong evidence: 20 of 20 current MLS listings have CONCRE in construction_materials and historical records previously showed concrete on 34 of 34 listings. Although public remarks do not explicitly say 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', the uniform checkbox data across many agents indicates the building is concrete construction.
Weak / limited evidence: only 3 of 20 current MLS listings list DOUWAL in construction_materials and none of the public remarks mention 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction'. This could reflect a few agents checking the box or some units having it, but overall support is minimal.

Public remarks repeatedly specify a minimum 30-day rental period and explicitly deny short-term/daily vacation rentals, indicating short-term rentals are not allowed in this building.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', 'managed by hotel' and similar. No evidence of a hotel rental pool in the remarks, and since STRs are disallowed this cannot apply.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', and 'must be in rental program'. No evidence found, and because short-term rentals are not allowed, mandatory participation is not applicable.

Several listings explicitly identify this as a leasehold and give the lease expiry date of 12/31/2042. No later extension dates are mentioned.
Public remarks explicitly note the building is VA approved and reference VA-assumable loans and VA financing options. Phrases searched/used: 'VA approved', 'VA ASSUMABLE', 'VA assumption'.
Several listings explicitly claim the HOA/building is fully insured for hurricane coverage. This direct language supports setting insured_fully to true with high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched all remarks for FLSE/fire inspection language and related terms; found none. Because there is no explicit mention and no existing confirmed value, returned false with medium confidence per rules (absence of mention suggests likely not stated).

Confidence 95%: Several remarks highlight 'panoramic views of Diamond Head', 'Diamond head views from every room', and 'Stunning Views of Diamond Head and Ocean' from units and common areas.
Building-level city views are well supported: numerous current remarks (about a dozen listings) explicitly mention 'city', 'city lights', or 'sweeping city views' — e.g., 'panoramic views of Diamond Head, ocean, city, and mountains', 'sweeping city views', and 'brilliant colors of city lights'. Evidence appears across multiple agent listings (not limited to a single copy/paste), supporting a high-confidence true for view_city.
Confidence 95%: Multiple listings describe 'beautiful ocean views', views of 'Waikiki Beach', and 'sweeping ocean views' from the rooftop and high-floor units, which equate to coastline views.

Multiple listings (at least 8+) reference direct views of the Ala Wai Canal, such as 'Enjoy views of the Ala Wai Canal and Ala Wai golf course' and 'sweeping views of the golf course, Ala Wai canal.' The building is also described as being 'right on the Ala Wai Canal,' indicating canal/marina-style views are a consistent feature for many units. Combined with 3/20 MLS entries marked MARCAN and no 'NONE' view tags, this strongly supports including marina/canal view as a building feature.
No analysis available
Confidence 95%: One listing says the rooftop grilling and entertainment space 'affords sweeping ocean views for beautiful sunset dinners', implying sunset views over the ocean from the building.
No analysis available
Remarks describe panoramic ocean, Diamond Head, mountain and city views and rooftop entertaining spaces but contain no statement indicating fireworks can be seen from the building or units. Therefore there is no evidence of a fireworks view.

Both historical MLS data (13/20 listings checked RESMAN) and the public remarks consistently reference a resident or on-site manager. At least a dozen separate remarks explicitly say phrases like 'Resident Manager on site', 'onsite manager', or 'on-site resident manager', showing consistent confirmation across multiple agents rather than a single copy-paste instance.
