These are very nice cottages in my opinion. It had everything we needed, cookie sheets, oven, washer/dryer in the unit. The location is a bit out there for getting to other things but the drive to the east side isn’t too bad. Our favorite beach was Poipu which was about 40 minutes away. Don’t leave your doors open for long as the chickens will come in! The beach was a bit less useable for us than I’d hoped as it’s too rough for little kids to swim and they were disappointed we couldn’t play at the playground on base. Also you have to be able to swim to use the slide at the pool. The NEX did have more than most but no fresh fruit and limited healthy snacks like hummus.

Awesome cabins on the beach. Woke up to a bunch of wild Nene outside in the grass. Beautiful spot, great price, beach sand is very soft and clean, cool fire pit and bbq area. Love it!

The base is easy with military and their guests for access. The MWR is easy and friendly to deal with. The cottage has amazing location, it has most every you need for cottage. They even called me the day of arrival and made sure it was easy check in. The not so good, there were bugs little nats and ants in the kitchen and bathroom. AC only goes to 78F.

Stayed here a couple of times while visiting my brother. Highly recommended for military families. Cant get any better than having a beautiful cottage right on the beach in Kauai. Splurge for the units with the a/c, if they haven't upgraded all of them yet. It helps block out the sounds of the geckos and roosters!

Stayed at a cottage in 2018 and the beach is like having a private beach! Grilled fresh mahi and had a blast there!

Beautiful location with awesome folks working there. We spent a week here at Barking Sands on the Island of Kauai and have to say it will be hard to top this vacation. It was like having your own private beach with beautiful sunsets every evening. We laughed, grilled and bonded as a family with a beautiful back dropped called Barking Sands.

So blessed to belong to a military family. This place is absolutely amazing! Beach is Open to the public, but you have to walk a bit. So worth it!

This is a special hidden gem for military families on Kauai. We've stayed here several times and fell in love with the peacefulness of this part of the island. It's not for everyone, such as the folks that want to be in the heart of everything such as walking distance to shopping and restaurants. It's quite a hall from civilization. Waimea and Hanapepe are the closest towns with restaurants, although you do have Shannanigams right on base as well as the PX for drinks snacks and food. We have stopped in for wines and fresh produce several times. They have everything you need. We have stayed at the cottages several times as well as the main house where the top ranking soldiers and distinguished guests stay, the lanai is huge and private, our favorite spot. We typically stop at Costco and the farmers market and load up on all the essentials and don't leave for a few days. That's a true vacation. The girls in the office are super nice and will help you book activities at a special military rate, pack your patience, you're on Kauai time. There is also a fitness center that has everything you need to get a good work out in. My husband goes daily. I prefer to run and walk along the private beach. We are so honored and blessed to have this magical place to visit often. Thankful that the military has perks such as this one.
