Staying at the Fern Grotto Inn really made this phrase ring true. Stayed in the Canal Cottage A for a week and I only have positive things to say about this place. - The inn keepers are very friendly and on site most of the time, in the event that they aren't they're always accessible by cell phone. - A...

Stayed here for 3 nights, we arrived when and didn't get to meet anyone who had anything to do with the property until the night before we left. Paul was ? away, the keys were in the room, we were warned about this by email. We stayed in the Garden Cottage, it is one room with a toilet and shower... More

We enjoyed staying in a restful, well-maintained cottage so close to activities as well as being a short walk to authentic Kauai cultural attractions. Paul and his family are considerate inn keepers and have all your vacation needs available. More

Great central location, a perfect spot for couples. The Inn was comfortable and had everything we needed for a comfortable four day stay. We appreciated the movie and book library in the unit. The kitchenette was well stocked with dishes, pans, and a few condiments. The bottom line is... this is Inn is a great value! More

my fiance and i just returned from a last-minute honeymoon to kauai (since a storm hit our initial plans in mexico!). fortunately, canal cottage A was still available. based on the affordable price, we thought we'd really be roughing it. to our surprise the cottage was more comfortable than we could have ever imagined. clean, quiet, with no less than...

We chose the Fern Grotto Inn for it's central location to all the activities we were planning for our trip. The cottage felt like our own little weekend getaway cabin and it seems the owners may have planned the layout that way - there are pretty much all beach supplies you'd need provided - coolers, boogies boards, water shoes, mats,...

We stayed in the River Cottage for 8 days. You're right on the river, a tad south of Kapaa, for when you want to take the kayak trip to Secret Falls (rent your own). Gorgeous. It's very well appointed and the owners provide several amenities; bbqs, laundry, snorkel gear, boogie boards, coolers, beach chairs, towels, etc. The kitchen was complete... More

We stayed in the Garden Cottage at the Fern Grotto Inn for 5 nights. It’s a very cozy and comfortable space. The location is great - right next to the Wailua River (which you can kayak), close to some good restaurants and within walking distance to the beach. The cottage is spacious and clean with a comfortable sofa, an eating... More

Stayed in the River House, surrounded by beautiful flora and tropical birds, an artist's paradise! Just make sure you travel with someone who likes to travel "off the beaten track". The Fern Grotto Inn is a truly special place. I will definitely recommend this Inn to my friends. More

This was a great place to come home to after a beautiful day in Kauai!The location of this place was prime. Hiking and waterfalls and the town/shopping centre all minutes away. We were right in the middle of everything and the ocean was a 3 min walk away. We had the cottage with a full kitchen, which was very helpful... More
