Brooke's place is in a great location for exploring the island. The proximity to the shoreline is exactly what you see in the photos. Each night the turtles came up to rest on the beach just outside the gate. The condo is well equipped and what you see in the pictures is what you get when you stay. We really enjoyed the stay and will look to stay here again if it is open when we return. While there are no direct sunsets, the sky is still beautiful at night and the sun rising from behind Haleakala is pretty cool. It's not a resort but is comfortable and like being at home. Brooke's communication is great, we had an issue with the tv remote and she responded in minutes. Truthfully, who cares about a tv remote when you are in Maui :) . Well, I guess I did, but only for a short moment and then the oceanfront grabs you, and tv is the last thing on your mind. I would recommend Brooke's place to friends and family without hesitation.
