I loved staying at Melissa's. It worked for me on many levels- it is open and airy with large windows and screen doors to let the breeze through, the space itself is spacious and not overdone (great if you want to roll out a yoga mat to stretch), it is quiet, the lanai has sweeping views both to Haleakala and out to the ocean (I spotted many whales right from the condo with my binoculars). Also such a joy to be able to walk across the street to go to the beach whether for an extended hang or quick swim before breakfast. I felt very at home and upon leaving I right away began to consider when I can return for another stay!
