Three Perfect Days: Hawaii - Author Jacqueline Detwiler

The largest of the Hawaiian Islands is the original home of King Kamehameha, the landing spot of the first Portuguese explorers and the island for which the chain is named. You could call it the island that started everything. (Just don't call it the Big Island.)

DAY ONE | By the time you reach John and Michele Gamble's breakfast table at the Palms Cliff House Inn, a rambling, many-porched cliffside hacienda that appears to have been airlifted straight from Charleston, S.C., you've already begun to forget. You're sure you left your BlackBerry around here somewhere, but it seems that sometime between waking up to the crowing of the resident rooster and sipping a cup of creamy Kona coffee on your private waterfront lanai, you forgot to look for it. Breakfast this morning includes local lilikoi (passion fruit) juice, orange-cranberry muffins and fresh pineapple. Just when you think you're done, leaning back with a satisfied smile and taking deep breaths of air untouched by humans for more than 2,500 miles, John emerges from the kitchen with guava sweetbread French toast and mango-chicken sausage.

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!
