Currently, Michele Gamble also serves as as board member on the Hawaii Island Bed & Breakfast Association (HIBBA). 

Our ocean front location means all 8 rooms have an ocean view. When we decided to open our home to guests as a boutique Bed and Breakfast, our goal was to create our Inn to be as unique as the Big Island. We set out to offer guests unique luxuries that are usually found only at large resorts.

Items like private entrances, private bathrooms, quiet rooms, and really comfortable beds. But we also provide limited occupancy and private suites that allow you a private entry to your room as well as a large private bathroom, and lanai.

All this comes together to create a comfortable place that offers the amenities of a large resort, but the charm and comfort of a small B&B; where you can relax and enjoy your vacation.

Near Hawaii Island attractions like the Volcano National Park, Laupahoehoe, Waipio Valley, Botanic Gardens, and Mauna Kea, means you can be close to everything, but feel like you are a world away!
