Fern Grotto Inn

“Paul is an incredible host, and one of the more thoughtful people I’ve ever come across. The property is beautiful and well-maintained, and my unit was so nice that I spent as much time there as I did exploring Kauai. I made the brave decision to visit Kauai during COVID and without a car and Paul was kind enough to show me around and point out the best places to eat in Kapa’a. Also, the units are isolated enough where you have complete and total privacy if you’d like, but close enough to effortlessly come out and mingle with other guests. There’s a less popular beach that’s about a 5-minute walk and while it probably won’t be crowded compared to the others, it’s an amazing place to watch the sunrise. I also enjoyed standing out on Paul’s property and watching some equally stunning sunsets as well.”

“Very clean, very thoughtful touches like flowers, Hawaiian music and decor. Well appointed kitchen. Huge shower!”

“Central location to get to north or south shore. We loved using the snorkel gear, water shoes and kayaks. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Our room also had a/c which was really nice when it was hot out. It’s right next to a thrift store, which is super cute. Paul had great recommendations of things to do. We loved eating dinner at Hukilau Lanai which Paul recommended. It was super delicious. Because there wasn’t anyone staying the next night, Paul let us go back to our room to take a shower after we went on a hike before our red eye flight.”

“The cottage was lovely, quaint and so convenient. We enjoyed our coffee in the yard in the mornings and totally enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and privacy. The location was perfect. The river was out the back door and the ocean was across the street. Can't beat that. (Hesitated to write this for fear of no vacancy upon my next visit.)”

“The gardens. The room was well appointed and the decor was charming. Lots of beach chairs and snorkels available.”
