Overall, Brooke’s place served us really well. The condo works really well for a couple and could work for a young family as well, just note that there is no cooktop so only basic cooking is possible (there is a microwave and toaster oven).
Pros:
- Location in Princeville, close (walking distance) to beaches and a strip mall with restaurants and a supermarket.
- Spacious with amenities provided.
- Tasteful decor.
- Good value given local prices.
- Nice condo grounds with a pool (we didn’t use but it was accessible to us)
Cons:
- Not the most responsive host. I asked a couple questions that went unanswered. I was able to resolve on my own but most messages from the host looked to be automated and the inbox is not monitored.
- Slight cleanliness issue - found a drink left by a previous guest and a dead cockroach in the drawer. I’m not fussed by a roach, I know they are a part of life in the tropics, but it should have been cleared by the cleaning crew. The coffee pot was also full of water for some reason.
- The pillows are pretty flat and should be replaced.
I think the pros well outweigh the cons and if the small issues I noted above were addressed, the spot would be 10/10.
