The owners were great! Such aloha from owners. The poipu athletic club was a great hit with the family. Went to check out the honu (sea turtles) at the beach at night. There’s were 45 there.

Nice island home. Well furnished with everything you need. Eight blocks to beach.

Very close to family property

This house was perfect for our group. My three girls stayed in the room with the three twin beds. my mom had her own room, my husband and I had the downstairs master with an extra twin and my 14-yr-old son and my 15-yr-old nephew had the upstairs master.The house was great and the furnishings were perfect! There were ample floor fans and ceiling fans in every room to help keep the house cool. The kitchen had everything we needed and once we stopped for groceries on our way from the airport we were pretty set for the week. The house is very close to Poipu beach which is a favorite resting spot of green turtles. Having access to the Poipu athletic club was great! We could visit the poll when we'd had enough beach time and the boys got to play an early morning game of tennis.

We were two families on vacation, and we loved the size of the home, and the fact that there was space for everyone. It’s a quick walk to Poipu Beach, and the wagon and beach gear were amazing. The kids also had a blast at the pool at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Highly recommend and we hope to return next summer!

Everything was great. Just wish it had ac to cool down when coming home from a hot day at the beach.

Jim and Julianna's house was the perfect place during our stay on Kaua'i! The house is beautiful with wonderful amenities like a well stocked kitchen and grill for cooking and lovely outdoor seating areas on the deck and in their gardens. Jim and Julianna were excellent hosts and we would absolutely stay again!

The hosts Jim and Juliana were absolutely wonderful. They gave us a lot of useful information before we even got to the island. They have a beautiful home and let us use all the beach supplies including boogie boards, towels, coolers, chairs, noodles, sand toys, everything you would need! They stayed in touch with us and made it easy to rent from. The area is amazing, only minutes from the beach, restaurants, & shopping. Loved it and definitely want to go back!

We booked this VRBO for guests who came to Kauai for our wedding, and they absolutely loved their stay. The VRBO was located centrally to everything in the Koloa/Poipu area and was well-stocked with everything they needed. Juliana and Jim were very helpful hosts as well. Highly recommend!

The house had everything we expected and more. Everyone had the space they needed and we enjoyed great meals in the large dining area. We felt very taken care of by the owners both before and during our stay.

This house has everything you could ever want for your Kauai vacation. I have been coming back to Poipu area for 9 years, at least 2 times a year, renting condos and houses. This is by far the best house set up that I've rented. The hosts are sweet and take care of their guests like family! We had a big group of family and friends and we all fit in the space perfectly. We had access to Coolers, boogie boards, beach chairs, books, games, TV, and a BBQ. The Poipu Athletic club membership that comes with the stay is awesome! Highly recommend this place and I've already booked next year's stay! Thanks Juliana and James!!

Really enjoyed our stay here

Ala Muku was perfect for our 3 generation family vacation. We were within walking distance of the beach and saw turtles every day. The pool and facilities at the Poipu Athletic club were a nice bonus. Kids loved the water slide and sandy play space. Good food and drinks here as well. The home is big and well appointed with everything we needed inside and out. Comfortable beds, lovely stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and lotd of books and games inside. Great lanai with plenty of seating and a grill and a garage full of beach toys including boogie boards and a wagon to transport them. We enjoyed shopping in Kohola and ventured out for snorkeling on Napali Coast from Port Allen and spending a day on Hanalei Bay. Would love to return.

This had to be the Best VRBO we have ever experienced and we have stayed in many. There were seven in our party three couples and one single. We utilized all four bedrooms and we found the sleeping accommodations excellent. The beds were top notch, good ventilation and amazing views and outdoor ambiance. There was nothing to want for. This home was not only lovely but was also so well equipped in every way. All you needed were groceries and personal items. The icing on the cake was a 15 minute walk to the beach and the same to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Fine and casual dining a short drive or walk away. Shopping also a short drive away. Last but not least our hosts Jim and Juliana were lovely accommodating individuals. We all agreed this was one of our best decision’s and trips we have had. Dan K

The property was clean and the grounds are beautiful. The hosts were kind, courteous and helpful.

Excellent hosts!!

I cannot say enough good things about Muku Place. Everything was prepared for us to enjoy our vacation. From beach chairs, towels, coolers, noodles, and a wagon for the beach to the beauty of the house and landscaping was 5 star. Jim and Julianna were so kind and helpful, too. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed.

We had a wonderful stay! Clean house with fully stocked kitchen. Great front porch with big table. Loved the fresh mangoes!

Everything we could have wanted was available at Jim and Juliana's home. All beach/pool equipment we needed, a wagon to transport the items made it very easy. The kitchen was well stocked also. The bedrooms were comfortable and well furnished. We only rented a car for the beginning of our stay, so drove around the island seeing many of the main attractions. Then we just walked everywhere we needed to go. Nothing was more than 1.5 miles away. This was fine and was what we intended going into the rental. We walked to the athletic center, the beach, and shops with our 5 year old twins. Jim and Juliana were very friendly and welcoming and even offered to drive us to a local attraction instead of calling a taxi. We had an emergency when one of our party was leaving and the booked lyft did not show up to take them to the airport. It was very early in the morning and no taxis were operating either. Jim kindly agreed to drive them to the airport. We could not ask for kinder hosts! I would readily recommend this home for your next stay at Kauai!

What a great place, location and hosts. Had a great time. Would definitely stay again.

We found this a very effective way to vacation with my parents, brother and wife, and 3 teenagers. The kitchen was very large and perfect to cook in a big group setting, saving a ton on the cost of food. We loaded up at Costco, 22 mins from the home, and the fridge had plenty of space for 10 days of food and drinks for 9 people. The BBQ and deck were perfect for evening meals. The hosts were very helpful and responded very quickly to any questions. Access to washer/ dryer and all the beach gear was fantastic. Other than a snorkel you don’t need to bring any beach equipment. Hose right outside the house to rinse things off. Just a few things to be aware: there is no AC. Lots of fans but some nights were a bit muggy. Also, to help with ventilation the doors to the bedrooms have slats in them. They are still private but noise passes right through if you have people with different sleep schedules. They do provide ear plugs and I would also suggest using white nose. Really only an issue if you have teenagers that sleep in and grandparents that get up at 5😬. The athletic club included we hardly used as there is a so much to do in Kauai , however, it was nice to have as a place to hang out waiting for our late night flight depart.

We traveled to Kauai for 1 week in early October and Ala Muku was the perfect home to accommodate our large family with young kids (10 in total). Juliana and Jim (most communications were with Juliana) were professional and very helpful throughout the entire process from booking, traveling during COVID times, and during our stay. They have thought of everything a large family would need... the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc. Only salt and pepper were provided but it may be due to COVID precautions... you need to bring or purchase any other seasonings like sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, etc. There was even a large rice cooker that we used daily to make meals for our family. One of the biggest bonuses of the property was all the beach equipment that was provided- everything from beach towels, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, water noodles, etc. It was so nice to have those available for use- saved a lot of money! The pool at the athlectic club was being cleaned the entire week we were there so we didn't use the facilities at the club but I imagine would have been nice. One thing to consider is that there is no air conditioning. Luckily our stay in early October was not too bad as far as heat. The fans that were supplied and available for each room definitely came in handy for the afternoons. A suggestion would be to cool the house a bit prior to guest arrival as when we arrived, it was pretty stuffy and hot but did cool off once shades closed, windows opened and fans turned on. In summary, Ala Muku is 5 stars and Juliana and Jim were great hosts (btw, should note that they do live on the property in their own side dwelling with a private entrance). They were never intrusive but they were available when we needed (power box needed to be reset at one point) and they have thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable- they even provide earplugs in case the roosters wake you up in the early mornings!

Great!

The property is very very good and nice and comfortable. Juliana and Jim are excellent managers and hosts, their recommendations were all spot on. The 4 bedrooms with up to 10 beds I believe, 4 bedrooms and three full baths. The deck and grill are excellent as we ate meals out on the deck everyday. The kitchen is large and fully equipped and we made meals there everyday. Having an excellent supply of beach gear, chairs, umbrellas, toys and towels is a real plus and all are in good shape. 10 minute walk to Poipu Beach Park; 15 minute walk to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club which access is included and is very good. We recommend this for families and couples.

It would have been a little better if the property manager didn't live in the same place

We were very impressed with the house. It was very clean, well stocked with lots of nice dishes and pots and pans. The location is a short walk to the beach and we loved having access to the athletic club with a great pool as well as fun fitness classes. The hosts were great communicators and very easy to work with. Highly recommend this home!

This was the first time my whole has stayed together for a few weeks, and the house was perfect. Enough space for each family yet we still enjoyed being together. The amenities were perfect everything you could need were right there to use. We loved it and will be back!

This house was in a perfect location and we enjoyed our stay very much. The house has everything you need for the kitchen as well as everything for a day at the beach, which was awesome! Very comfortable and roomy home. The ONLY issue we had, was due to all the rain, there were lots of gnats and mosquitos that got in through the screens. But overall, it was an awesome place to stay. Juliana and Jim were also very nice.

This was the absolute best house to stay! It was equipped with everything you could possibly need. All the beach items was a huge score! Thank you so much Jim and Julieanna for a great awesome stay!

Very nice property, lots of room, near poipu beach. I thought cleaning fee wq high. Managers were great

The house was lovely with everything supplied to enjoy our time even when it rained, games, books etc. close to 3 great beaches & the lovely athletic club. All walkable. House very spacious & comfy. Perfect place to unwind w our 7 adults & 2 small kiddos. All cooking utensils were so well supplied that I was able to make 2 huge meals for Christmas Eve & Christmas! Table easily set for all of us! Thank you to the owners who responded quickly if needed! Highly recommend this beautiful home!

Would definitely go back!
