While I never got to meet my hosts (there is no office), they made my stay very comfortable. It's like a home away from home. I stayed in the Garden Inn, and had a kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. They had snorkel gear, noodles, boogie boards, straw mats and other beach gear to borrow each day.... More

We stayed for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon. We were happy with canal cottage A. It is clean and well equipped, safe and has a calming atmosphere, feeling more relaxed the longer you stay! We liked the outside space, garden tables and chairs, the wifi and free laundry facilities. Paul is very thoughtful and attentive and his family... More

You can tell that Paul has put a lot of love and tender care into this place. I felt like I was living in paradise. You could hear the ocean at night. The atmosphere was very relaxed. I loved that a washer and dryer was available to use. Also there were other extras like beach mats, coolers, umbrellas, snorkeling gear... More

We stayed in Canal B. It was perfect for us because we didn't plan to prepare many meals at the cottage.I was a little concerned about the rather loud cooling system in our cottage until I realized it drowned out the chickens that run wild on the island! I appreciated how clean the cottage was.and the little extras provided like... More

We felt like we were Kauai residents after 2 weeks At the Fern Grotto.. We loved it there. The Coco cottage was such a wonderful place for us to spend 10 days while exploring our new favorite island. It was beautifully decorated and had everythng we needed. We cooked out several nights, made breakfast every morning and packed picnic lunches... More

I was originally looking at staying in Hanalei, but was worried that it would be too far from other places we wanted to visit, like Waimea Canyon. Fern Grotto Inn is located in the perfect in-between spot that allows you to visit the North Shore and also the Waimea area with a reasonable drive time. We stayed in the CoCo... More

What a great place to relax and thaw out from a very cold and challenging winter. Leaving the winter land of Alaska to arrive at this tropical oasis was just what we needed. We stayed in the very comfortable Coco cottage. This is a great place to use as your base camp as you explore the wonderful sites and adventures... More

We stayed in the CoCo Cottage and it was more than incredible. Spacious, comfortable, well decorated, and unique. We are Las Vegas performers and this was exactly what we needed. Much better than a hotel! Centrally located so all parts of the island were accessible and it is only 10-15 min from airport. Made arriving and leaving super easy and... More

We stayed in the River cottage at Fern Grotto Inn for a week. Paul was very welcoming and helpful, given we had arrived without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon! The cottage was lovely. Ours had plenty of space, a large kitchen with some cooking essentials, plenty of light, good shower, cosy bed and couch - it was a nice... More
