Yacht Harbor Towers
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 for numeric percentages and terms like 'majority owner occupied' or 'highly owner occupied'. Several remarks reference suitability for owner-occupants but provide no percentage or firm statement of owner‑occupancy rate; therefore the owner_occupancy percentage is unknown and cannot be estimated.
I searched the public remarks for numeric statements like '4 elevators' or 'four elevators'. Multiple listings reference elevator upgrades (e.g., "upgraded lobby, modernized elevators"), but none provide a numeric count. Without an explicit number, I will not guess.
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.
High-confidence evidence that central air conditioning is included: 17/20 MLS records show ACCEN and multiple listings explicitly note 'central AC' or 'A/C' is included in the maintenance fees across different agents.
Strong, building‑level evidence that cable TV is included: 17/20 MLS records list CABTV and many public remarks explicitly say 'cable TV' or 'basic cable' is included in HOA/maintenance fees. Evidence appears across multiple listings/agents and is consistent with historical MLS data.
Moderately strong evidence: 11 of 20 MLS records list common area coverage and many public remarks explicitly mention 'common expenses' or 'common area upkeep' included in the fees, indicating common area costs are typically covered.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence that electricity is included: ELECTR appears in all 20 MLS records and numerous remarks explicitly list 'electricity' or 'all utilities included' as part of the maintenance fee, consistent across listings.
Strong evidence that gas is included: 17/20 MLS records list GAS and many public remarks explicitly state 'gas' is part of the HOA/maintenance fee, with consistent citations across listings.
High-confidence evidence that hot water is included: 18/20 MLS records list HOTWAT and many remarks explicitly state 'hot water' or 'hot water included' in HOA fees. A single listing indicating WTRHTR is an outlier and does not outweigh the broader evidence.
Consistent evidence that internet service is included: 17/20 MLS records show INTSER and multiple listings explicitly cite 'internet' or 'Wi‑Fi' included in the HOA fees, with similar language across agents.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence that sewer is included: 19/20 MLS records list SEWER and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'sewer' or 'water/sewer' is included in maintenance fees, consistent across listings.
Strong evidence that water is included: 18/20 MLS records list WATER and many public remarks explicitly mention 'water' (often paired with 'sewer') as included in the HOA/maintenance fee, consistent across multiple listings.
Very strong evidence: ~19/20 MLS entries historically included BBQ and numerous current remarks state 'BBQ area', 'gas grills', 'BBQ-ready recreation deck', and '5 BBQs on the amenity deck.' Multiple agents consistently list BBQ/barbecue facilities, suggesting a building-provided amenity rather than isolated unit features.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Moderate evidence: several listings (multiple agent remarks) explicitly call out a dedicated 'car wash station' or 'carwash' on the property, though it is not universally listed across all units. This supports inclusion as a building-level amenity with medium confidence.
Several listings reference a 'club room,' 'recreation room,' 'rec center,' 'meeting room,' and 'party space' associated with the amenity deck, indicating a shared indoor community/club-type facility. Although only 4/20 MLS entries check CLUHOU, the narrative descriptions come from multiple agents and clearly describe a common gathering room. This aligns with the intended meaning of a clubhouse/community center at the building level.

Consistent evidence across listings: roughly a dozen MLS entries list fitness/exercise (historical MLS: 11/20). Public remarks in multiple listings explicitly mention 'exercise room', 'fitness center' or 'gym', supporting inclusion. Mentions appear across different agent postings rather than a single copy/paste source.
No analysis available
Limited/moderate evidence: a few listings (MLS ~6/20) and several public remarks explicitly mention a 'meeting room' or similar community/board/meeting space. Present in some agent remarks but not widespread across all listings.
Strong evidence that Yacht Harbor Towers offers patios/decks: approximately 16 of 20 current listings reference outdoor spaces (phrases include "enclosed lanai", "covered lanai", "patio deck", and "courtyard lanai"). Mentions appear across many different listings and agents (suggesting a building-level amenity rather than a single-unit anomaly), though some repetition across remarks likely reflects standard agent descriptions.
Evidence against a building-provided path: only a few MLS entries historically flagged WAJOPA and the remarks overwhelmingly reference public park/nearby walking paths (Ala Moana Beach Park) rather than an on-site jogging/walking path. Agents appear to reference nearby park access, not an amenity within the building.

Good evidence: around 14 of 20 MLS entries list a recreation area and numerous remarks describe a recreation deck/party pavilion or amenity deck, indicating a communal outdoor/amenity space used for recreation.
Moderate evidence: about eight listings historically list a recreation/club/meeting room and multiple public remarks use phrases like 'recreation room', 'rec center', 'club room' or 'rec deck'. Appears in several agent remarks though not as ubiquitous as pool/tennis.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Insufficient evidence for sauna: although a couple MLS checkboxes may be set, the public remarks (dozens of listings) do not describe a sauna/steam room. Given lack of corroboration in remarks and minimal MLS indications, the building likely does not offer a sauna as a common amenity.
Building storage is clearly available: at least four recent listings explicitly mention it, including phrases like 'Storage available on a first come first served basis,' 'separate storage locker,' and a seller renting a 'storage unit for $40/month.' Another listing’s amenity list includes 'storage' with the pool, tennis court, and other shared facilities. Combined with MLS checkbox patterns and prior high-confidence data, this strongly supports that the building provides storage lockers/units for residents, typically on a rentable or allocated basis.
I searched remarks for specific surfboard-storage phrases ('surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', 'bike and surfboard storage') and found none. Although there are general mentions of 'storage' or 'storage available', no listing explicitly references surfboard storage.
Strong, consistent evidence: roughly 19/20 MLS entries historically listed tennis facilities and many current remarks repeat 'tennis court', 'tennis/pickleball courts', or 'pickleball court', showing the building provides tennis/pickleball amenities.
High-confidence evidence from MLS: every current listing (20/20) marks TRACHU and remarks reference refuse/common-area services; though agents rarely spell out 'trash chute' in the public remarks, the unanimous MLS checkbox and references to refuse service indicate the building provides a trash chute/refuse chute system.

Strong evidence: many listings mention 'whirlpool', 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', or 'spa' (e.g., 'heated pool, hot tub, jacuzzi, whirlpool spa'), with broadly consistent agent descriptions indicating building-provided spa/whirlpool facilities.
All 20 current MLS listings include pool in the amenities and public remarks repeatedly reference on-site pools with phrases like "heated pool", "swimming pool", "heated saltwater pool", and "resort-style pool". Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple listings/agents rather than isolated mentions, supporting high confidence that the building has a pool.
Several listings (MLS shows 8 of 20 with HEAPOO) explicitly mention a heated pool—quotes include 'heated pool', 'heated saltwater pool', and 'heated swimming pool'—providing strong, building-wide evidence that the pool is heated rather than an isolated agent copy/paste error.
Multiple unit descriptions and amenity lists explicitly state the pool is a heated saltwater pool, so the building pool being saltwater is well-supported by the public remarks.
Strong, consistent evidence that some units have in‑unit laundry: 20 of 20 recent listings list washer/dryer in inclusions and numerous remarks explicitly state phrases like "in-unit washer and dryer", "washer/dryer", and "stacked washer/dryer". The mention is widespread across multiple agents and listings (not isolated), indicating the building offers units with in‑unit laundry.
No substantive remark-level evidence for shared/community laundry facilities: 0 of ~20 public-remark blocks mention a "laundry room", "community laundry", or "coin laundry", while only 1 of 20 MLS amenity checkboxes includes COMLAU (likely an agent checkbox error). Given the absence of remarks and low occurrence in MLS amenities, community laundry is unlikely to be a building feature.
I searched for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'paid laundry', 'card operated', 'quarters', and 'coin-op' and found none. Instead, many listings explicitly mention an in-unit washer/dryer (e.g., 'in-unit washer/dryer'), suggesting no emphasis on paid community laundry facilities.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found no references. Multiple listings describe in-unit washer/dryer but nothing indicating community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building offers assigned parking: 14 of 20 recent MLS entries list ASSIGN and many remarks explicitly note 'assigned parking' or 'dedicated parking stall' (e.g., '1 assigned parking', '2 assigned parking near the elevators', 'deeded, side-by-side parking stalls'). Mentions come from multiple agents and across many listings, supporting a high-confidence building-level feature.
High confidence that the building provides covered parking: all 20 of 20 MLS entries include covered/garage parking and many remarks state 'covered parking' or 'covered stall' (e.g., 'one covered parking stall', 'covered, assigned parking stalls'). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
Many public remarks reference assigned, secured, covered or deeded parking stalls (several with explicit 'deeded' phrasing), supporting high confidence that parking is deeded with units.
No analysis available
Reviewed remarks for phrases like 'monthly parking fee', 'parking rental', or any dollar amount for parking. Most listings state 'assigned', 'covered', or 'deeded' parking is included or note guest/pay-parking for visitors, but none state a monthly parking charge for residents, so a specific parking fee amount cannot be determined from the remarks.
Moderate evidence guest parking is available: 10 of 20 MLS entries include GUEST and several public remarks state 'guest parking' or 'ample guest parking stalls' (examples: 'guest parking available', 'ample guest parking stalls, making it easy for friends and family to visit'). The evidence is present across multiple listings but not as consistent as assigned/covered parking.
Good evidence the parking/parking access is secured: 7 of 20 MLS entries include SECENT and numerous remarks across listings reference 'secured entry', 'secure building', '24/7 security', or 'key fob providing secured access', with some listings specifically noting 'secured, assigned covered parking'. Multiple agents corroborate security features, supporting a high-but-not-absolute confidence.
Several independent listings clearly describe 'tandem' parking arrangements, including '2 (tandem) parking stalls' and 'Tandem Parking Stalls are set apart in Garage'. With MLS data also marking TANDEM on some units, there is strong evidence that the building offers tandem-style stalls for certain residences.
No analysis available
Searched for language indicating a parking waitlist or instructions to join a waiting list and found no references across the listings. Absence of any mention suggests no waitlist was described in the public remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks explicitly reference key fob/key-card style secured access (for example: '24-hour security with key fob providing secured access to the building'), indicating the building uses card/fob electronic access.
Strong evidence that Yacht Harbor Towers provides guard/security service: MLS checkbox data shows 19/20 listings with SECGUA, and numerous listing remarks explicitly state '24-hour security', '24/7 security', 'security patrol', or 'Security Guard'. These explicit mentions appear across multiple agents/listings rather than being isolated, giving high confidence the building offers on-site security/guard service.
Listings repeatedly mention on-site security guards, 24-hour security, and security patrol/secured building, supporting that the building provides security patrol/guard services.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that Yacht Harbor Towers offers building-level central air: historical MLS checkboxes indicated ACCEN/CENAC in 17/20 units and ACCEN in 19/20 units, and current listing remarks repeatedly state 'central AC' or 'central A/C' (e.g., 'maintenance fees include central AC', 'central air conditioning', 'central A/C'). This confirmation appears across multiple agents and listings and is consistent rather than an isolated copy-paste error.
No analysis available
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS records list 'CONCRE' indicating reinforced-concrete construction, and public remarks explicitly note the building is "known for its solid concrete construction." Multiple listings reference concrete-related work (spalling repairs, exterior wall painting, window replacements), providing strong and consistent confirmation across agents rather than an isolated copy‑paste.
4 of 20 MLS records list 'DOUWAL' but across the many public remarks aggregated for this building there are zero mentions of double-wall or two-wall construction. With no corroborating agent remarks and limited/isolated MLS checkbox usage, the evidence indicates double-wall construction is not a building-level feature.
No analysis available
A minority of current MLS listings (4 of 20) tag the building with the MASSTU masonry/stucco construction code, and none label a different exterior system. Remarks consistently describe a large concrete high‑rise, which in this market is commonly finished in stucco or similar masonry cladding, but they do not spell this out. Because MASSTU appears across multiple independent listings but not universally, masonry/stucco is included with moderate rather than high confidence.
Only 2 of 20 MLS records currently flag 'STEFRA', but none of the public remarks mention 'steel frame' or describe steel-frame construction. Given the absence of any corroborating remarks and the minority/likely inconsistent checkbox usage by agents, the building should not be represented as steel-frame.

6 of 20 current MLS records list the 'ABOGRO' above-ground construction code, however none of the public remarks explicitly describe 'above ground' construction or materials. Because MLS checkbox presence is limited (6/20) and remarks lack explicit confirmation, the feature is included with moderate confidence reflecting mixed evidence and potential agent copy/paste.
No analysis available

Reviewed all public remarks for short-term rental indicators (phrases like 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', '30-day minimum', 'TVU') and found none. Given the lack of any STR-related language in the listings, short-term rental allowance is not supported by the public remarks. (Per rules: when str_allowed is false, related STR pool flags should also be false.)
No mentions of hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program in any public remarks. Because short-term rentals are not indicated, hotel rental pool participation is set to false.
No public remarks reference a mandatory hotel rental pool or required participation. Given STR is not indicated and no listing states 'mandatory' participation, this field is false.

Several listings explicitly state the leasehold expires in 2037 (including specific dates). When multiple date formats appear, the most recent/explicit year is 2037, so 2037 is returned.
Searched all public remarks for explicit VA loan language such as 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. With no explicit mention in any listing, VA approval is not supported by the remarks.
I searched for explicit wording such as 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage', or 'comprehensive building insurance'. While many listings note insurance for common areas and specific coverages (flood/hurricane), none explicitly claim the HOA provides full/walls‑in insurance for owner units, so I cannot mark 'insured_fully' true.
There is no mention of a fire sprinkler or sprinkler system in the public remarks across the many listings reviewed; only 3 of 20 current MLS listings have the FIRSPR amenity checked (a newly-added checkbox). Given the absence of explicit language such as "fire sprinkler," "sprinkler system," or "fire suppression" in any remarks, the evidence for building-wide sprinklers is weak and likely due to inconsistent MLS checkbox usage.
I searched for phrases like 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', or 'passed fire inspection'. The remarks mention a new or updated fire alarm system in units/building, but there is no explicit statement that the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation, so I cannot mark this as passed.

Across the provided public remarks (dozens of unit listings), ocean or Pacific views are explicitly mentioned in the majority of listings (over 50 mentions), with phrases like "ocean views", "Pacific Ocean", "front-row ocean views" and "unobstructed ocean vistas" appearing repeatedly across multiple agents' remarks, confirming strong, building-level ocean-view availability.
Multiple unit remarks (dozens) explicitly reference mountain or Ko'olau views—phrases include "Koolau Mountains", "mountain views", and "Mauka"—showing the building offers mountain-view units in addition to ocean views; this is corroborated across many listings rather than isolated mentions.
Although the property uses the name "Diamond Head Tower," the combined listing remarks do not explicitly advertise views of Diamond Head crater (mentions are tower-name references rather than view statements). Across the many unit remarks provided there is no clear, repeated phrase like "Diamond Head view" to indicate units offering that specific vista.
Numerous listings reference city or skyline vistas (phrases such as "city lights", "Waikiki skyline", and "city views"), often in the evening/fireworks context, indicating the building offers units with city views across multiple floors and listings.
Numerous listings describe coastline/shoreline views and reference landmarks along the coastline (e.g., "coastline", "Magic Island to Barbers Point coastline", "Ala Moana Beach Park"), indicating that the building offers units with coastline views across several listings.

Many listings (majority of the unit remarks) explicitly mention marina/harbor/Yacht Harbor views—quotes include "Ala Wai Yacht Harbor", "yacht harbor" and "marina views"—providing strong, consistent evidence that the building offers marina/harbor-facing units.
No analysis available
Sunset views are explicitly called out in many unit descriptions (phrases like "stunning Sunsets", "captivating sunsets", "Friday night fireworks" and "sunset views"), appearing across multiple listings and towers, demonstrating the building provides sunset-facing units.
No analysis available
Numerous public remarks explicitly mention viewing Friday night and holiday fireworks from units or lanais (examples include 'Enjoy the colorful sunsets and Friday night fireworks' and 'Catch Friday night and holiday fireworks right from your living room'). This provides strong evidence the building offers fireworks views from units.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong and consistent evidence that the building has an on-site/resident manager: MLS checkbox (RESMAN) appeared in 19 of 20 current listings and many remarks explicitly state "on-site resident manager", "Resident Manager", or "Resident Manager’s Office". Mentions appear across numerous listings and agents rather than isolated copy/paste, supporting high confidence that this feature exists.
