About the host
Hosted by Melissa Alcantara
I’m Melissa, though many know me as @fitgurlmel. I live in Los Angeles, where I work as a personal trainer, athlete, and fitness coach. My journey started when I lost 40 pounds in 60 days, which led me to bodybuilding competitions and eventually a career helping others find strength and balance. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of training amazing clients, including Kim Kardashian, and sharing real, no-nonsense fitness advice in outlets like Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, and Vogue.
Health and wellness are not just my career — they’re my lifestyle. That’s why I created Casa Coyote. I wanted a place where people could step away from the busyness of life, breathe in the desert air, and reconnect with themselves. The sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub aren’t just amenities — they’re part of a philosophy of recharging body and mind.
As a host, I love being able to share this retreat with others. My hope is that when you leave Casa Coyote, you feel lighter, clearer, and more energized than when you arrived.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it truly captures what we love most about the desert. Casa Coyote is tucked away in the Joshua Cove area, a quiet pocket that feels private and restorative, yet it’s only minutes from downtown Joshua Tree and the National Park entrance. From the property, you get sweeping views of the park and the surrounding desert — the kind of views that stop you in your tracks at sunrise and make stargazing unforgettable at night.
What we enjoy most is the balance. Being “in the cove” means we’re embraced by the natural landscape, surrounded by the natural landscape of the desert, wide skies, and the stillness that invites you to slow down. It’s a place where you can step outside and instantly feel connected to nature, hear the quiet, and see the horizon stretch endlessly. At the same time, the convenience of town is close enough when you want coffee, a good meal, or to explore local shops.
For us, this neighborhood allows both connection and disconnection — connection to the desert and its rhythms, and disconnection from the noise of everyday life. It’s the perfect setting for focusing on personal wellness, recharging, and experiencing the restorative energy that makes Joshua Tree so special.

What makes this property unique
Casa Coyote isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a purposefully designed desert sanctuary created by a professional fitness trainer with a background in celebrity wellness. What makes it stand out is the way it blends the restorative stillness of Joshua Tree with intentional amenities that promote balance, health, and renewal.
Instead of simply offering a hot tub or firepit, Casa Coyote provides a full spectrum of wellness features rarely found in a vacation rental: a dedicated cold plunge tub with a chiller, a 4-person sauna, a hot tub for evening soaks under the stars, and a yoga/fitness setup complete with mats, resistance bands, and a deep muscle massager. Guests often describe it as having their own private spa in the desert.
Every detail has been chosen to support relaxation and well-being. The primary suite opens directly to a private patio for morning meditation, while indoor living areas include a fireplace, a record player with a vinyl collection, and cozy reading nooks that invite guests to slow down. Outdoors, a cactus garden, wood-burning firepit, and raised stock tank pool deck frame sweeping views of Joshua Tree National Park, encouraging guests to connect with nature.
Sustainability is woven into the experience as well, with live plants for cleaner air, food scrap and recycling bins, and eco-conscious design touches that allow travelers to feel aligned with their values. Fully fenced and pet-friendly, Casa Coyote also makes it easy for guests to bring their four-legged companions along on their wellness journey.
In short, Casa Coyote is unique because it’s more than a rental — it’s a restorative retreat. Guests leave not just with desert memories, but with the sense of having truly recharged body, mind, and spirit.
