Unique Ocean Front Luxury, Private Pool, Fitness Club 
 
By far, the most beautiful home, location, you'll find on Kauai. Renting went without any problems. I'm not one to write a long essay. Just suffice to say: don't bypass this gem of a home, right on the ocean. The entertainment sitting on the deck, with whales, dolphins, and turtles was spectacular.

Great house with great views

Thanks Jim ! What a great house great views so upscale kitchen nice and stocked . Wish had a/c-but so thankful for pool to cool off ! Was super clean very appreciative of that ! And thanks for your great recos ! Some great things we found were : Jack Harter Heli's doors off ride ; Kekaha beach - perfect waves and swimming ; shipwreck beach challenging waves super clean and fun vibe ; the Trail shipwreck beach up the coast ; Anuane breakfast as u suggested ; Blue Dolphin catamaran ; Polihale state park - worth the outrageous 10mph potted rutted dirt road ; Donkey beach ; turtles in front of house :) Wish we'd have reserved Kaulau trail when we booked air -next time! - (Jan 2020 - VRBO)

All rooms have spectacular view

 
Amazing on the ocean , hear the waves crash , see the sunset , see a few turtles , dip in the cool private pool . Use the gourmet kitchen with amazing eating /lounging setting. All rooms have spectacular view . 3 bathrooms a total plus -wow ! It is a walk from parking lot , but the ramp and not stairs makes it easy . You are not crammed in w/other travelers being a stand along house . Great showers and decent water pressure a plus . Location is near a lot malls and restaurants about 4 to 10 min away . Again amazingly picturesque and memorable !

Exceptional place on every level-location

"Exceptional place on every level-location, cleanliness, responsiveness. Our family of 6 had an amazing time. Your literally almost on top of the waves breaking against the rock with sweeping views. Thoughtful and practical appointments all through the home." - (Jun 2019 - VRBO)

we would not stay anywhere else when coming back

"The place was excellent, from the grounds to the coffee that was left for us and the house is actually nicer than in the pictures. Very well kept and clean house and the views did not disappoint as the whales, turtles and dolphins are visible daily. Would recommend anyone who is considering staying in Poipu to look into its availability as we would not stay anywhere else when coming back. Thanks again Jim, we had a great vacation."  
David's private feedback for you:  
"Jim, We usually stayed in Maui at the 4 Seasons the last 3 times we came to Hawaii and both my son and wife enjoyed the house more, so cannot really say much more than them :). Thanks again" - (Mar 2019 - VRBO)

Review #24925809 "Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Resort Home in Poipu Beach, Private Pool, Free Fitness Club" The ultimate antidote to a busy life

We spent a glorious vacation over the New Year 2019. The favorite place for all 4 of us was sitting on the balcony watching whales, waves and the weather, so very soothing for the mind. The location is unique and the home itself is so very comfortable, extremely well equipped, if you can think of "it" then so have Jim and Juliana and "it" will be in a marked cupboard. Comfortable bedrooms and spacious bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, Living room with amazing views and even games and puzzles. We played tennis on the nearby court most days,walked the Heritage trail to Shipwreck Beach and watched the fireworks on New Years Eve as they were launched from Brenneckes beach. Hope to return soon.

Here's what Sara wrote

"Our biggest reservation when booking was the fact that the house did not have ac. This was not an issue. Although it got warm, fans and plenty of screened doors let in plenty of breeze once the sun went down. Sunsets on the deck were phenomenal , as was watching the turtles feeding on the rocks and the birds feeding on the lizards. This place provided us with the dream Hawaiin vacation we were after. Mahalo Jim and Juliana." - (Nov 2018 - AirBnB)

Review #21492970 "Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Resort Home in Poipu Beach, Private Pool, Fitness Club" Great Property!

I'm torn because I should give this property the absolute highest rating possible, but then it might not be available when I want to come back! We had a great week on Kauai and largely because our down time was spent here. House is spotless and well-equipped. Bit of a hike to the front door, but it's downhill from the parking lot. Crashing surf almost too loud to sleep if windows left open! Views are nicer than the listing shows. Pool was too cold to enjoy, but so was the surf. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms very spacious. Again, we'd like to stay here again! 
 
P.S. Do the doors off helicopter tour with Jack Harter if you come to Kauai!!!

Outstanding - Great location, spacious, beautiful!

Walking through the front door to this lovely home we knew we were in an enchanted place. The pounding surf, mesmerizing sunsets, strolls along the coastline all made for a fabulous vacation! Breezes through the home were heavenly. The house is directly on the water with beautiful unobstructed views of the ocean. The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, and spacious. Jim and Juliana were very easy to deal with and everything was handled very professionally. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this property. - (Jan 2018)

beautiful, spacious, comfortable , private

This is perfect, right on the ocean! 2 large, well lit and breezy windowed bedrooms, great bathrooms, large spacious and modern kitchen with dining area, great large family room with full length windows that open to let in the ocean breeze. The lower level has a washer/dryer/ wet bar/ and a comfortable sleeper sofa. Several TVs in unit. A private pool is accessed from the lower level, and we used it a couple of times but on certain days it was too chilly (the community pool is also not heated). - (Jan 2018)

Fantastic home & ocean view

We absolutely loved this place. The house was so comfortable and the location/view was absolutely stunning! Loved sitting on the veranda having coffee or a cocktail watching the waves crash on the rocks or the whales jumping out of the water! The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the private pool was an added plus. Hope to stay here again sometime soon!

Aloha from Poipu Kauai, Juliana and I are so glad you enjoyed your stay at this lovely property on the southern point of Kauai. It is a very special home with lots of wonderful views. The whales in the winter season are definitely an added bonus, cheering for them every time they leap from the water. It is like watching Nature's exciting competitive event. Please tell your friends about us and Alaula ~ Sunset Glow and we hope to see you again next year. Regards, Jim and Juliana Ala Muku Vacation Rentals - (Jan 2018)

Absolutely Amazing!!!

This property is breath taking. The views from the lanai were fabulous. We enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets every night. From the lanai we saw whales, dolphins, sea turtles and sea lions! The amenities provided were top notch! Everything you needed was available. My family of five had plenty of room and thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday in paradise. We didn't want to leave...this is a 10 in our book!! We are already talking about our return visit.

Ala Muku Vacation rentals Owners Lois Drake and Stephen Drake: We are very happy you enjoyed it as much as we have with our loved ones. Thanks so much for you kind review. I'm sure the whales miss you already! Lois - (Jan 2018)

amazing

The pictures don't do this property justice. I don't think any picture can. if you are on the fence about staying here, weighing the cost to the pictures, just push the button. you won't regret it. I look at those pictures differently now. you will have to manage the fans in the house, because, in July anyway, it can get warm in the house. but that's what the pool is for, right? my only beef has nothing to do with the Cherry's. it is the community BBQ. the manager came out to help me and said to turn it up all the way and wait until it hits 300 deg. then throw your meat on. 300 degrees would make my steak into a piece of leather. I have never seen a community BBQ that works properly. good for smoking ribs though. - (Jul 2017)

10 stars???

If you like crashing waves you will be blown away by this place. The only rooms that don't have a view of miles of shoreline are the bathrooms! Our week here was pure bliss- even during a couple of days of tropical downpour we were captivated by the ocean. We are regular Kauai visitors and have stayed in many homes and condos - believe me, this home is more than a condo unit. You have the use of the tennis courts, the spa and pool, and the BBQs but you also have total privacy with your own pool and yard. Inside was lovely and comfortable. Jim and Juliana keep it spotless and want you to feel like an honored friend of the family. They even have a nice assortment of spices and herbs ready for you. We even saw the famous "Green Flash"! - (Mar 2017)
