Perfect place to stay while exploring Volcano National Park. Felt like we were in a private rain forest retreat. The space is a good size, bed was very comfortable, and it had all the amenities you need. Highly recommend.

Really nice secluded place in the rain-forest next to volcanoes. Perfect for exploring nearby areas. Lovely garden maintained by Jim.

Had to drive about 1km through a road surrounded by jungle. Very isolated. Jim seemed nice. Did not realise this was a home stay with a very flimsY door connecting to a house. Pics depicted a separate unit. Lots of rain on a tin roof and creaking noises of the houses led to a restless sleep. Did not feel safe in the place tbh, though could just be me not use to home stays

This was a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are absolutely incredible!!! The birds, frogs and insects provide such a soothing/calming background. Wandering the grounds, you can find a sitting area that overlooks a small koi pond. When I was there, there were so many flowers in bloom. I would highly recommend this as a location to stay!!

This was our second trip to this property and time & the owner's pride in it has only made it better. We never tire of visiting Kilauea when we visit the Big Island and Jim's lodging is only about a mile from the entrance to Volcanoes National Park. Its when you end the day however, that his place is special. It is literally in a living garden of tropical plants. To look out the window and see anthuriums, if only those as there are far more types of flowers, is wondrous. A walk through his gardens will confirm that his hideaway is truly a Hawaiian paradise.

Absolutely beautiful garden paths to stroll on at the property. Relaxing. The host, Jim, was very helpful & cordial. He provided excellent directions to guide us to his VRBO. He also gave us suggestions of places to visit in the area.

Perfect spot to relax after an extended day exploring the volcano park. The grounds are truly beautiful to walk. The space itself is well-kept with a great kitchenette to prepare the basics. Lovely touches like coffee/tea available to make the stay even more special.

We had a great stay at this spacious, charming home. Check in was super-simple and we had a chance to explore both the stunning gardens on-site and pop over to the National Park on the evening we arrived. The kitchenette was perfect for warming up dinner and having coffee in the morning. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping to the sound of rain outside. Highly recommended!

The studio was perfect. It was very clean and the service was unmatched. It’s a great location if you’re visiting VNP and Punalu U beach - black sand beach.

The area of Volcanos National Park is fascinating and being so close to the action is valuable. Volcano Village is small and quirky which suits our style of travel. Jim’s home is comfortable, inviting, and includes even more than just the necessities. The electric bed warmer was delicious and the small space heater necessary for the cool, damp weather we had. A dehumidifier would be a welcome addition. The gardens are spectacular and their history very interesting. Check out both if you stay and try to chat with Jim if you can as we were lucky enough to do.

A little off the beaten path via a one lane road but the rainforest garden was beautiful. The bed was king-size with an electric heating under the sheets. Didn't use it since the space heater was enough to heat up the room before shutting it off while sleeping. It was close to Volcano park and we checked out early to get to the park by 7am for hiking. We skipped the shower which was pretty barebones which we probably didn't have time for anyway.

Its was nice the room is connected to the bottom part of jims house almost like a garage converted to a room. You can lock the door both ways so we felt comfortable the whole time. Mini heater is a life saver. Super convenient location for volcanoe and its a better option than the many hostels around. Beautiful rain forest garden on the property.

The space was exactly as described and pictured in listing. Jim’s direction made it easy to find (although I do recommend checking in during daylight as it is really dark- great for seeing stars!). Welcome snacks and water we’re appreciated! Super convenient to Volcanoes NP.

Jim greeted us on arrival and told us about his family's multigenerational history in Hawaii and his mother's contributions to the community. He has continued her legacy by maintaining the beautiful gardens and pathways on the property. The apartment was well supplied and comfortable, with Hawaiian snacks and coffee provided. Would return again.

Pros - - Jim is a welcoming and responsive host. - If you are looking to leave city life behind for a more casual and remote stay -- this is the place for you. - The property has a lovely private garden with a small pond to enjoy. - Very close to Volcano National Park. - Attending the Sunday Farmer's market in Volcano was a nice start to the day. Cons - - The request for quiet hours and to conserve water (limit shower time and refrain from washing clothes etc.) made us feel constricted, as we didn't want to impose on our host. - If you are looking for a crisp 'hotel style stay' the bed quality and room are more casual. - I liked this location as a starting point for our vacation, but we equally could have stayed in Hilo, as we found one day trip was adequate time to explore Volcano National Park and the hamlet of Volcano.

Spacious, beautifully appointed room attached to the host’s home, surrounded by rainforest in a small village, 1 mile from Volcano National Park. The extensive walk-through garden, complete with a tea house, was a fascinating surprise. Very accommodating host. Perfect for the two of us! Loved our stay!

Loved staying here so close to Volcano Nat Park as it allowed us to get there early. Location of the house was very cool. Bed was comfy and the heated mattress pad was a HUGE plus. Host was great and cordial and had some water and snacks for us and also helped us retrieve a forgotten item easily. Definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and talking with our host, Jim. Loved the history of the place, and a walk through the acreage is not to be missed. We took our drinks and books down to the Tea House and relaxed as the sun set and the sounds of the birds echoed through the trees. No issues finding the place, just followed Jim's directions. Appreciate the loan of a little waffle maker for our breakfast. Thank you for sharing Kimalia with us!

This property was perfect for us. It is close to Volcanoes National Park, and the gardens are beautiful. Jim was a gracious and welcoming host. He suggested that we go to the local farmer's maket, and it was great. He also had a binder with local restaurant suggestions. We would definitely return!

For me this was perfect: a studio with kitchenette for breakfast and a warm shower and bed for the cool Volcano Village morning and evening. I did not have a car but love to walk and this accommodation is half way between my Volcano family and the Village - about a 15 minute walk.

We loved our short stay at Jim's Private Getaway. The room is large and comfortable, and the kitchenette was well stocked with everything we needed. The home is on a two acre lot with a paths through the garden filled with vireya rhododendrons. I just wish we had more time to explore. Jim was a great host; he greeted us when we arrived and then left us to ourselves. The pricing was great and much more reasonable than neighboring accommodations. We had no problems finding the property using Jim's directions.
