The location was amazing, just steps from the beach. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we wanted for a few day's stay including clothes washer and dryer and full kitchen. The pool and pool area was beautiful. There were jets for a relaxation, nice lounge chairs and even a grill for cooking out. Would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is older style but very well equipped and clean. The central location is great and we had views of the garden and pool also the ocean. You could hear the waves at night. There were quite a few stairs but for us only really a bit of a hassle getting luggage up and down

Melaleuca was heavenly: I felt safe as a solo traveler, the property was quiet and clean! The owners were really great about communicating and adjusting to the situation when my flight got delayed over and over again. I was really grateful for their flexibility and willingness to help. My stay at Melaleuca was very peaceful and relaxing!
