If you're connected to the military, or traveling with someone who is, it is certainly worth spending a few days at this special spot. This is my opinion, even after having spent 2 previous weeks in a comparatively luxurious condo just prior to spending a week here. The ocean-front cottage to which we were assigned is named Hale Ua U... More

Our vacation was exactly what we planned: enjoying the environment and doing very little. The cottages are "basic" with all amenities except housekeeping. Be prepared to do some cleaning. There was a little wear in our older cottage, especially in the bathroom. We liked being able to put the car out of the sun and having the larger lanai. Each... More

Breakfast on the patio listening to the waves was very enjoyable. And dinner watching the sunset over the ocean was lovely. If you are looking for a quiet place to get away with your loved ones, this is perfect. If you're looking for an exciting nightlife, shopping, variety of food nearby, this in NOT the place for you. We loved... More

Our family of 10 rented 2 of the newer cottages for 5 nights. With 5 people in each cottage, it would have been nice to have 2 bathrooms---otherwise the cottage was comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. We used the charcoal grill for evening meals and enjoyed dinner on the porch every night. We had loaded up the... More

Stayed five nights as a family of five. A little cozy for that number, especially when someone goes into the only bathroom for a half hour without warning. But the bushes are conveniently located nearby outside for such situations. The cottage does have everything you need: Refrigerator, stove, microwave, TV, two bedrooms, washer/dryer, and lanai. There's even a shower outside... More

This was a second stay. The cottage we stayed in last year was newer and had a better lanai. The accommodations are as good any timeshare with all the amenities. The place is really in the sticks, but that's part of its charm. The support staff for this property is on the ball. Very helpful and have a slew of... More

This was our second time staying here and both times were great, We had one of the older units that sets on stilts but it still offered an ocean view from the huge front Lani (Porch), And yes this place is far away from everything but that also has its advantages to, for one thing its safe and you can...

It's a pretty decent cottage and the beach is nice, but... -sharp coral, strong current and restricted areas prevents or severly limits you from getting into the water here -nowhere to snorkel nearby -everything is far away and traffic is frequently bumper to bumper making it difficult to get around It's a great island, but we found ourselves away from...

We have come here twice and stayed in new and old cottages. Just to have the privilege to stay in such a safe and peaceful place is more than most people can ask. I love birds and we truly enjoyed hearing them and their calls. Being right on the ocean was amazing and to have quiet and sun was one... More

I was one of the seabees who put up the new cabins. I've always bragged how nice they were going to be when they were all done. I think I would ask for ocean view and get the new ones as a lot of people don't seem to like the old beachfront. Planning on going in feb and came on... More
