Barking neighbor dogs

Our friends stayed in this house on a previous visit in 2010 and we remembered it as a perfect house for two families to share. It was a great house with plenty of space for the 7 of us (2 couples, 3 boys 10, 12, 15). The house is very hot however as there really is no ventilation. We could have handled this a lot better if we were able to sit and enjoy the outdoor space. The back lanai is small and enclosed so not very appealing. The front yard has great views of the mountains and waterfalls but there are 8 (I counted at one point) small terrier type dogs that live next door. These dogs are not out all day but are out often and when they are they all bark at you constantly when you walk outside. It is very loud and not relaxing at all. We loved being able to walk to the beach (especially when the dogs were inside) and to the farmers market and once to town. Even though the house is on the main road we were never bothered by traffic noise. We would not stay at this house again on our next visit. We enjoy relaxing outside during our trips to Kauai and this house just didn’t provide this for us. It does need new sofas (they are the same ones from 2010 and are stained) but besides this it was clean, well maintained and nicely finished. 08/08/2015 at 9:27 PM
