Land, title and what to check

Waikiki is split into a resort mixed-use precinct and an apartment precinct. Nightly rentals are legal only in buildings where both zoning and house rules allow them, or with a nonconforming use certificate. Many Waikiki condos are limited to rentals of 90 days or more.

Some Honolulu condo units are leasehold rather than fee simple. Confirm the tenure, and the lease terms if any, before you compare prices.

Hazards, water and access

Most of Waikiki is low-lying and inside the tsunami evacuation zone. Check a building’s flood zone, and ask the association about its master insurance, before you buy.
