Alaula, Hawaiian for "sunset glow", is the tropical paradise experience you have always dreamed about. Sparkeling sunny days, starry nights and balmy island breezes enhance the stunning elegance this luxury home offers. Situated on the southern tip of Kauai just feet from the rolling pacific ocean, you will steep yourself in the splendid offerings that will help to create a lifetime of fond memories.
The Makahuena resort complex where this home is located in sunny Poipu, on the south side of Kauai is a well known destination for the discerning traveler. It also offers a large pool, hot tub and tennis court for our guests. Close by are many excellent restaurants, botique shops, and unique island gift stores.
Kauai, know as the "Garden Island" is the oldest of the habitable hawaiian island chain. Located at 22° North latitude this island is truly a tropical paradise with a lush rural setting. The delightful trade winds keep the island temperatures comfortable year round.
FITNESS CLUB Included - Family fun activity center
Included with your reservation at no extra cost you now have the privilege of using a nearby family fitness facility. The Poipu Beach Athletic Club (PBA Club), less than a mile away, is a wonderful facility for family & friends to be active, have fun and have a meal, too.
CLUB AMENITIES INCLUDE: cardio workout room, weight lifting equipment, exercise room (and classes), poolside table and chaise lounges, restaurant and bar and pool/hot spa with waterslide! Lots of games to play for young and old alike - 4 tennis courts, 3 pickleball courts, basketball, badminton, volley ball, shuffleboard, ping pong, and more lawn games (all equipment provided!!).
KAUAI ACTIVITIES: There are three 18-hole golf courses in Poipu and a community 9 hole course in nearby Kalaheo (several other courses in Princeville, Lihue, and Kapa'a).
Outdoor activities abound with hiking trails, surfing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, swimming, bicycling, tennis and so many more. Try a zip-line tour; view the island from the air with a breathtaking helicoptor tour; get down and dirty with an ATV tour; learn to windsurf or scuba dive; take a sunset cruise along the coastline; watch the humpback whales and spinner dolphins put on an improptu show; attend a luau and try some poi. And when it is time to relax enjoy a cool mai tai and a good book on your private lanai. For your evening, experience a fantastic island dinner at one of Kauai's wonderful open air restaurants. Or have your personal chef create a gourmet meal served on your private lanai.
Poipu, on the southern shore of Kauai is the destination of choice on the island. Poipu Beach, just a 5-7 minute stroll from the house, with its renowned sunrises and sunsets offers comfortable swimming throughout the year. Right on the beach you can rent surf boards, paddleboards, and sign up for lessons. Across the street you can rent snorkel gear or purchase the latest in beach wear.
Kauai Golfing: There are two championship 18-hole courses available near the resort: The Kiahuna Golf Course and the prestigious Poipu Bay Resort Course. Guests need to arrange with the individual courses for tee times. Within driving distance are several other courses in Wailua, Princeville, Kalaheo, and Kapa'a.

By far, the most beautiful home, location, you'll find on Kauai
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!
My Response
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.
My Response
Juliana and Jim are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Alaula. Yes, it is a lovely home in a lovely location! Please tell your friends about us. Have a wonderful New Year! 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)
