Tropical Garden Cottages—One Block from Beach Why stay at Fern Grotto Inn? The reasons are as numerous as our glowing guest reviews. In fact, Fern Grotto Inn recently became the best-rated vacation rental on TripAdvisor and was featured in Lonely Planet—all thanks to our warm hospitality, prime location, and super cute plantation cottages.

For a little outdoor fun, check out our COMPLIMENTARY two-person KAYAK and “his and her” BIKES. The coastal bike trail is only one block from Fern Grotto Inn, and we’re conveniently located right on the Wailua River and of course, there’s plenty to do locally—we’re only one block from the pristine swimming beach at Lydgate Park, and Kapaa’s many stores and restaurants are just a few miles away. The real attraction of Fern Grotto Inn is our private vintage plantation cottages. Originally constructed in the 1940's and 1950's, our cottages have been fully renovated with your comfort in mind while still retaining their authentic Hawaiian charm. We’ve outfitted each one with chic but cozy island-inspired decor.

Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay at Fern Grotto. This cottage is a great central place to stay. Easy getting to the south or north shore areas. We took advantage of the kayaks, beach chairs and cooler provided. The cottage had a lot of amenities provided. Bed was very comfortable and easy check in/ out process. There are two communal washer/dryers and that worked fine for us. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Kenda D.

The owners were extremely responsive, and we had everything we needed. We took advantage of the complementary kayaks to paddle to Secret Falls on our first day. The central location made the drives to all activities less than an hour anywhere on the island. For sunrise, it was a 5 minute walk to Wailua Beach....such a peaceful way to start the day. ##### Melinda A. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri S.

You can see the owner's attention to detail in making your stay pleasant and convenient everywhere you look. We highly recommend this as a pleasant alternative to impersonal chain hotels on Kauai. ##### MARGARET H. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily W. Mar 21, 2019 #### Perfect little find! We loved this place and would highly recommend! The location is perfect for visiting all sides of the island and the nearby river is beautiful (not to mention the free kayaks made it a breeze to explore). The community of units was relatively hidden from traffic and was very peaceful. We stayed in Canal A and though the unit is one of the smaller ones, we didn't feel cramped. ##### Emily W. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff, Calgary Feb 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay! Each unit has an external water hose, which was really convenient for washing off clothing, gear and/or feet when returning from a day at the beach or muddy hiking trails. There's lots of sports equipment (kayaks, SUPs, lifejackets, snorkelling masks, beach mats, beach towels, beach chairs, ice coolers, bicycles) that can be borrowed, so there's no need to bring your own stuff if you don't need/want. The location was super convenient and easy to find; 10 minutes north of Lihue airport; Easy to make day trips to everywhere on the island. Communication was great from the host. ##### Jeff Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Khyati D., Washington, DC Jul 9, 2018 #### Lovely, Quaint, Well Equipped Home off the Wailua River My husband, toddler, and I stayed here recently on our trip to Kauai. What a find! It's one of several homes in a little village like setting. The homes are on a lagoon off the Wailua River, which is very popular for kayaking, SUPing, etc. Paul was easy to communicate with and the place was clean and tidy with many welcoming touches like personalized notes, chocolate, leis, and some adult beverages. They also provided access to so much equipment from kayaks, and paddleboards, to kids beach toys, yoga mats, coolers, etc. What a relief that we didn't need to lug all of that across the country or buy it. And having a kitchen in our home was so great when we needed to feed the baby or were tired of eating out. It gets loud in the morning with the roosters and birds and can get hot at night with mosquitoes but it was part of the experience. Fern Grotto was our home in Kauai and made for a relaxing time. Hopefully, next time we can meet Paul! ##### Khyati D. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber M. Apr 8, 2018 #### A unique and wonderful place to stay. This was the first place my girlfriend and I stayed in Kauai and we absolutely loved it. Hands down, the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept on in any hotel, airbnb, or vrbo. Every place we stayed after, I kept wishing I was sleeping in that bed. We stayed in Canal A and it was the perfect size for the two of us. We loved the bathroom which featured many little luxuries. There was a towel warmer, a bidet toilet, nice quality shampoo, and a really nice shower head. The kitchen has everything you need and was very well equipped. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed strolling through them every morning and evening. Fruit trees, wildlife, and all the flora and fauna were truly enjoyable. We definitely appreciated all of the equipment that we were able to use (scuba equipment, water shoes, coolers, beach chairs, and kayak equipment with super easy access to the river right outside our door!) We were also very glad to have a laundry room on the grounds. This place is tucked away nicely and feels very private and safe. We barely saw any of the other people that were staying in the other houses/cottages. We would stay here again 100%! Thank you and mahalo! ##### Amber M.

It is a wonderful little hideaway with a beautiful Lanai to dream and relax on. The cottage itself is very comfortable, clean, nicely furnished and tastefully decorated and Paul, the owner, does just about everything to make your vacation a dream come true. Centrally located on the island, it is only a short 45-60 minutes’ drive - depending on how many times you stop to take in the wonderful sceneries - to beautiful beaches in the north, south or the west – if you want to go that far. The beaches near the cottage are definitely worth discovering, too. Or if you want to go hiking, there are great trails very close to the Fern Grotto Inn, some easy, some a bit more demanding, some quite adventurous - your choice. If I return to Kauai, the Fern Grotto Inn it is! This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jun 3, 2010 #### This was our first time i... This was our first time in Kauaii. Staying in the River Cottage just added that special touch to our visit. We felt right at home and can not wait to come back and stay here again. Thanks for making our visit most pleasureable! I recommend this to everyone.

The first time we stayed more towards the west side, this was much more convenient. Our stay was at the end of June 08\. We had a group of 14 and the use of all the cottages. We stayed in this cottage and what a wonderful experience. The whole resort is beautiful. To have all the beach accessories available was great. I would definately recomend this resort and this cottage to everyone.

April 2007 was the first time we visited beautiful Kauai...at the first moment it was sure: we will come back again...so we did for our wedding in June 2008 . We decided to rent a cottage....Fern Grotto Inn was the perfect location because we married at the Coco Palms which is just across the street, the beach and the Wailua river are just steps away and it is the perfect place to reach any Kauai destination. The River Cottage is very beautiful and cozy with everything you need to feel like home. The garden is a breathtaking beauty with the singing of the birds and the smell from lovely blooming flowers it makes Fern Grotto Inn a piece of paradise on the most beautiful island we have ever seen. We really enjoyed our stay.

The price was right. I would definitely use the Fern Grotto Inn as a home base for any Kauai destination. In the future. Paul and Nausheen did an excellent job on the landscaping. The room was clean and if we needed anything Paul was very accessable. The nicest touch was that Paul brought us champagne at my father's request as it was our honeymoon. Thanks again for everything.

Paul and Nausheen - What a wonderful time we had in the River Cottage. It was all we needed and hoped for. It was calm, clean and made us feel like home. The garden like atmosphere of the grounds made us not want to leave and all within walking distance to the beach where each morning we watched the sunrise and the whales play. Mahalo again for sharing your corner of paradise with us. We are planning our next visit and will include the Fern Grotto Inn and the River Cottage in that stay also.

We stayed a week in the River Cottage. Nausheen and Paul have done a wonderful job at making this a welcoming and peaceful retreat. It was romantic, restful and overall absoultely wonderful. It's a great central location for exploring the island. We will be back, and we're telling anyone who listens that they must come and stay at the Fern Grotto Inn. Mahalo!! ##### Sara H.

Nausheen and Paul,I have stayed here at the River Cottage twice. It is one of the most beautiful little cottages I have ever experienced. What a great job of decorating to make it so Hawaiian and so cozy. We really appreciated how nice the two of you are and how close to the ocean our cottage was. We will definately use your place again, and recommend it to others. Thanks again for a great stay!
