Kapilina Beach Homes prides itself on being home to many, including our furry friends. As a pet-friendly community, it is wonderful to see them enjoying the dog park as well as the miles of walking paths and stroll around the lagoon.
Please continue to enjoy these amenities, however we kindly ask that your pets are leash when out and about, outside of the confines of your residence, keeping mindful of the neighbors around us
Likewise, when traversing the community, we encourage you to use the walking paths and sidewalks Although we may want to take a shortcut at times, we want to respect the privacy of neighboring residences.
Consequently, our pedestrian sidewalks would be best enjoyed when clear of obstructions e.g., trash bins, vehicles.
