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.

Reviewed all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy statements and found none. Per the numeric-field rules, retain the existing value of 34.00 with low confidence and note there's no corroborating evidence in the remarks.
Remarks confirm the building has elevator access (mentions like "secure elevator" and "use of elevators") but none state a specific number. Per rules, keep the existing numeric value of 2 but with low confidence due to lack of explicit numeric evidence in the public remarks.

Strong evidence across many listings (roughly 17–18 of 20) indicates cable is included in the maintenance fees. Remarks repeatedly say phrases like "cable", "cable TV" and "cable in the maintenance fee," appearing across multiple agent listings rather than being limited to a single source.
Several remarks describe the fee as covering “all utilities… and common area items/expenses,” implying common area electricity is paid by the HOA. This aligns with OTCOEX being checked in the majority of MLS records. Given the pattern across multiple independent listings, common area electricity is very likely included in the maintenance fee.
No analysis available
Very strong, consistent evidence that electricity is included in maintenance fees, with explicit phrasing such as "electricity" or "electric" in many listings (about 18 of 20). The coverage appears across multiple agent remarks, supporting a high confidence.
Well over 10 listings mention gas as part of the covered utilities, often alongside electricity, water, sewer, cable, and internet. Phrases like “Maintenance fee includes ALL: electricity, gas, internet, cable, water, sewer, etc.” and “HOA fees include everything even WIFI, electricity and gas” show this is a standard building feature. The widespread MLS checkbox usage is consistent with these detailed remarks.
Several agents clearly differentiate “water” and “hot water” when describing what the maintenance fee covers, indicating building-supplied hot water. No listings reference in-unit water heaters (WTRHTR), which supports that hot water is centrally provided. The combination of MLS data and repeated explicit mentions makes hot water inclusion very reliable.
Many different listings state things like “Monthly maintenance fees cover electricity, gas, internet, cable, water, and sewer” and “Maintenance fee covers all the utilities including internet.” Others say “HOA fees include everything even WIFI, electricity and gas,” confirming building-provided internet. This is consistently described across numerous agents and years.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (approximately 18 of 20) explicitly mention "sewer" as part of the maintenance/HOA fees. The repeated, independent mentions across agent remarks indicate strong and consistent evidence that sewer is included.
Clear, repeated evidence across many listings (about 18 of 20) that water (and often hot water) is included in the maintenance fees. Multiple agents' remarks explicitly list "water" among included utilities, supporting high confidence.
Many listings describe 'rooftop BBQ area', 'BBQ grills', 'roof top grilling and entertainment space', 'BBQ pits', and 'rooftop terrace with BBQ grills'. These BBQ facilities are clearly common-area amenities on the rooftop recreation deck. With consistent mention across numerous agents plus 16/20 MLS checkboxes, the presence of BBQ facilities is well established.

High and consistent evidence: historical MLS data marks EXEROO in all 20 listings and numerous current remarks state "fitness center", "gym", or "exercise room" (examples: "fitness center", "gym", "exercise room"). Multiple agents independently list this amenity, indicating it's a building-level common facility rather than copy-paste noise.

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.

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 listing explicitly includes 'Bike and Surfboard storage' in the amenities, which directly confirms surfboard storage is available.
No analysis available
Implied evidence: MLS amenity checkboxes show TRACHU in 18 of 20 current listings, though the narrative remarks do not mention "trash chute" or similar terms. Because trash chutes are often omitted from marketing copy but consistently checked in MLS amenities, the building likely has a trash chute system (inferred from checklist rather than explicit remarks).

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 that Waikiki Lanais has a shared swimming pool: MLS data shows 20/20 listings checked pool, and numerous public remarks state amenities such as "pool, jacuzzi," "rooftop pool & jacuzzi," and "large pool and sundeck." These references appear across many different listing remarks and agents, indicating a genuine building amenity rather than an isolated error.
No analysis available
Listings reference a pool and jacuzzi but do not specify salt water. I searched for keywords like 'salt', 'saltwater', and 'saline' and found no matches.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building has shared/community laundry. Historical MLS data had 18 of 20 listings marking COMLAU, and numerous current remarks across listings explicitly state 'community laundry', 'on site laundry facility', 'laundry facilities', or 'laundry on each floor' (appearing in well over a dozen listings). Mentions come from multiple agent remarks and are consistent rather than isolated, indicating a genuine building-level amenity.
Listings describe on-site/community laundry (locations and ample machines) but do not mention any payment method or coin/card operation. I searched for keywords like 'coin', 'quarters', 'card', 'paid' and found none.
Multiple public remarks explicitly state laundry is available on each floor (e.g., "laundry facilities on each floor", "laundry on the 5th floor"). This is direct evidence from the listings that community laundry exists on every floor.

High-confidence evidence that the building offers covered parking: historical MLS data indicated 19/20 listings with covered/garage parking, and the current public remarks repeatedly state phrases such as "1 covered parking", "assigned covered parking stall", and "reserved garage parking stall." These references appear across many different listings/agents and consistently describe assigned covered stalls, supporting inclusion of parking_covered=true.
Multiple listings describe assigned/reserved/covered parking included with units, and at least one listing explicitly calls it 'deeded parking stall', supporting that parking is deeded.
No analysis available
I searched remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', and 'parking charge' and found no references. Since parking is described as assigned/deeded/included, no monthly parking fee is indicated in the remarks.

I searched remarks for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', and phrases about joining a parking waitlist and found none. Absence of mention suggests no documented waitlist, but the remarks do not explicitly state 'no waitlist.'

Multiple public remarks explicitly describe electronic fob/key-fob/keycard access at entry points and elevators, providing strong evidence the building has card/fob security access.
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 remarks explicitly describe 24x7 security and on-site resident manager/staff plus secure entry (fob), indicating an active security/patrol presence. I used phrases such as "24x7 security" and "secured building" as evidence of patrol/security service.

CURRENT MLS: 19/20 listings include ACWIUN. Public remarks explicitly state "new window AC unit" and numerous listings mention A/C (e.g., "A/C in all bedrooms and the living space", "Brand new A/C", "Full Kitchen, AC"), indicating multiple units have window/wall air conditioners. Evidence is strong across many agent remarks and the MLS inclusion checkbox, so the building should be listed as offering window AC units.
MLS checkbox data strongly indicates the building is concrete: historical records show concrete listed on 34 of 34 observed listings and current MLS data shows CONCRE on 20 of 20 listings. None of the public remarks explicitly mention construction material, but the uniform MLS reporting across many listings/agents provides strong evidence the building is concrete.

Public remarks consistently indicate the building enforces a minimum 30-day rental policy and disallows short-term/daily vacation rentals, so STRs are not allowed.
There is no evidence in the remarks of a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed program. Because short-term rentals are explicitly disallowed, a hotel rental pool is not applicable.
Listings do not mention any mandatory rental/hotel pool program and explicitly prohibit short-term rentals, so mandatory participation in a hotel pool is not applicable.

Several listings explicitly reference the ground lease expiring on 12/31/2042 (year 2042). No other later expiry or extension is mentioned, so 2042 is used.
Public remarks repeatedly indicate the building is VA-approved and reference VA assumable loans/financing. This is clear, repeated evidence that VA financing is accepted.
Several listings explicitly claim the building is fully insured for hurricane coverage (phrases such as 'Fully insured for hurricane coverage' and '100% hurricane insurance' appear in the remarks). Therefore marked true with high confidence.

Searched all public remarks for terms such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', and related phrases and found no references. With no current value or explicit mention, this boolean is set to false with medium confidence (absence of evidence in remarks).

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: multiple current remarks (at least several listings) explicitly mention 'city lights', 'city views' or '360-degree views of the city' and historical MLS data had High confidence. Evidence comes from numerous agent remarks (e.g., 'the brilliant colors of city lights', 'sweeping city views', 'panoramic...city') appearing across listings—while some language appears reused, the repeated, specific references across listings provide strong confirmation that the building offers city views.
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 statements like 'watch fireworks from' or 'fireworks view from the unit'. Searched for 'fireworks' and related phrases and found nothing.

Both historical MLS data (13/20 listings listing RESMAN) and the current public remarks strongly confirm an on-site/resident manager. Over a dozen listings explicitly mention an on-site manager with phrases like 'onsite manager', 'Resident Manager on site', 'onsite resident manager and staff' and 'on-site resident manager', indicating consistent documentation across multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste error.
