Tara and Rob's place was great. Clean, simple, awesome location for all the things I wanted to do and see. There are binoculars in the entertainment center that you can use to observe sea turtles outside the patio (which are seemingly there all the time). You can watch the sunrise over Haleakalā, and view stars at night. I had a charter out of Ma'alaea Harbor and rather than paying for parking at the harbor, I just walked the 10min there. Parking area was well-lit. As a female traveling alone, I felt safe here, too.
