This is a seriously overdue review for Paul and the Fern Grotto, but one i think needs to be stated. We booked canal A with Paul for our five days in Kauai after a week on Big Island. Upon arrival Paul checked us in and offered to upgrade us to the Coco cottage as it had't been rented. Can't tell... More

We stayed in Canal Cottage A with a view to the River from the kitchen window and perfect breezes. We loved this cottage. It was perfectly clean and very comfortable even on the most humid and hot days. Since we cook the kitchen although small worked for us and is certainly more economical than eating out all the time.

My fiance and I stayed in Canal Cottage B for 5 nights. The cottage was cute, well-appointed and spotless. The location was perfect for us. Just a few minutes to food in Kapaa, a few minutes from Lydgate park where we could swim regardless of surf conditions, and a few minutes to Kealia where we could play in the waves.... More

We stayed in the largest rental - 3 bedrooms - w/ my entire family (parents, sisters, and their spouses/children). The place was fully furnished and each bedroom had it's own bathroom. Included all the amenities and convenient location. There are grills available to BBQ, and washer/dryer for all renters to use. I would definitely return. Easy transaction with the owner... More

We've never liked staying at posh resorts to get a tiny spot on crowed beaches, so Fern Grotto Inn was definitely our style. We stayed in the Garden Cottage for four nights and had a great time. The cottage is clean and well furnished with amenities that made us feel like we're at home e.g. insect repellant, aloe vera lotion,... More

I was a little worried when I first booked the Fern Grotto Inn. It was the first time I’ve ever stayed in a place other than a traditional hotel, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. This, and the fact that the grounds stood feet from a nearby river where little creatures might possibly freak-out my squeamish little wife... More

Spacious, clean and furnished with enough to make Kauai your home for a few days, a week or more. Great value for the comfort and hassle free stay. Sometimes cottage rentals can feel like you're staying in some strangers house. Not so here: we instantly felt at home and everything seemed fresh. They have lots of stuff to borrow for... More

We wanted to experience traditional island living and discovered it at Fern Grotto Inn. We stayed in Canal A from April 21 - May 4. It was perfect for the two of us. Very cozy, comfortable, and clean. We loved the beautiful grounds. The amenities such as complimentary use of the washer and dryer, gas grill, beer in the refrigerator... More

I highly recommend the Ohana House to anyone who likes to stretch out and enjoy the extra space that a large house has to offer at the end of a long day spent enjoying Kauai. The Ohana House has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a large dining room and a nice sized kitchen. My girlfriend and I rented... More
