“Excellent Stay!!”

Fern Grotto Inn is a wonderful place to stay, but i hesitate telling anyone this for fear that you all will find our secret getaway on Kauai---Paul and his wife are wonderful hosts---such a beautiful place:-)

“A charming slice of paradise!!! HIGHLY recommended!”

The Fern Grotto Inn is the perfect place for a quiet, romantic getaway. If you are looking to be lodged in the heart of a tourist nightmare; this IS NOT the spot! If you are looking for a touch of old Kauai & a chance to experience the tranquility that the islanders know as home; you have found your destination! You wake to the sound of roosters crowing outside your window every morning. The owners are on-site in their own cottage & amazingly friendly & helpful. They have put a lot of effort into making this feel just like home. Nice hardwood floors, large tiled shower & comfy furnishings right down to the pillows. The list of ammenities is quite lengthy! There is a "beach shed" w/snorkel gear, boogie boards, water shoes,chairs & coolers. Take what you need & return it when you are done. Saves tons of $$! Lydgate beach is right across the street. My husband & I took this trip to get married & honeymoon. We were going to exchange vows at the beach, but it was raining sparatically which made it hard to negotiate a clear block of time. We loved the location/view of the Wailua River just outside our cottage so much, that we had our ceremony right outside overlooking the River. The Fern Grotto Inn offered much more that we could have expected in the way of relaxation & comfort. We will definitely return on subsequent trips to Kauai!

“Fern Grotto Inn, Almost Perfect”

My husband and I loved this property. It is small, convenient, and intimate. We enjoyed the fact that there are only four cottages on the property and that the growns were like a backyard at home. The location is perfect (about halfway between Lihue and Kapaa), across the road from a lovely beach, across the river from Smith Family Gardens, and 100 paces from the Wailua River Tours. The only drawback to the Fern Grotto Inn is that it is not a resort. We didn't have maid service during our stay, but we did have to pay a $100.00 cleaning fee. So be sure to budget that into your travel expenses (we didn't, because the bill came the day we were checking out). We had to use the cash we were going to use to pay the extra baggage fee from the airlines (put that on credit card). If wouldn't have been a big deal if we had known. I wouldn't have spent 3-hours cleaning the cottage that morning and would have left it the way it was when we woke up. I don't want to be negative, because the rest of the trip was perfect. I just don't like expensive surprises.

“Quiet B & B”

Quiet B & B in local neighborhood. At base of Sleeping Giant mountain area, near Kappa. This is more like a small 1 bedroom apartment. Stocked with many cooking utensils and a gas grill ready to go. Loved having a washer and dryer in the apartment. David and Linda helpful hosts for info about the island. Great outdoor space overlooking a small stream.
