Fern Grotto is in an excellent location. It is close to the airport and a drive to the other shores of the island is no more than 45-50 minutes. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the inn and the fact that it felt welcoming. We also enjoyed the star fruits from the tree on the property..yum! Our room was well stocked with towels and bath and kitchen necessities. The bed was very comfortable, and we always awakened feeling rested. Washer and dryer are provided and supplied with detergent pods and dryer sheets. The friendly manager lives at the inn and when we needed an item, he provided it quickly. This is a wonderful alternative to the resort experience. Would stay there again.

Hard to put into words just how thoughtful Paul and his team are. No stone left unturned in this place; they literally thought of everything for their guests' comfort. We stayed a week and were so happy to return to this sanctuary every night after adventuring around Kauai. From our arrival finding relaxing music playing and cold beers in the fridge to our last evening reflecting on a perfect vacation while listening to the breeze blow through the leaves of the starfruit tree outside our window, we were so happy we chose the Fern Grotto Inn.

The 3 bed/3bath Ohana house has it all. It is a true relaxation spot with all the comfort of home. Beach towels, coolers, chairs and umbrellas are available when you go out for the day. Laundry facilities equipped with detergent, great comfortable beds, a full kitchen with spices and large dining area… great window AC units (I was a little nervous about no central air - we are from East Texas). TV and wifi work great. The grounds are lush and you are walking distance to Lydgate Beach and easy drive to wherever you are going. Paul was an awesome host! We and our adult children had the best time and we cooked steaks on the grill and made breakfast every morning. Loved sitting on the front porch and finding the largest snails we have ever seen. Our daughter got engaged on this trip on Moloaa beach! Best week ever. Highly recommend.

This is truly unique and wonderful place! Centrally located, very well maintained, super clean and cozy! Room is very thoughtfully decorated, nice furniture, kitchen is fully stuffed - everything in good working condition as well. Super convenient access to Wailua river, free kayaks / SUP / snorkeling equipment / bikes / coolers - really everything one can wish for while on Hawaii. Paul (the host) was super responsive and very quick with whatever requests we had. Reasonably priced as well. We are very happy with out stay and hope to come back!
