Aaron S. Mar 13, 2025 05:45:15 AM

Summary: We loved this spot as a launchpad for our hike- and adventure-based honeymoon. Kayaking from the property to the Secret Falls was a highlight, as well as biking to Lydgate Park!

Charles H. Jan 10, 2023 04:00:31 PM

Summary: Super clean place with easy access to river for kayaking and paddle boarding. Picked fresh star fruit every morning from tree on the property.

Melinda A. Aug 28, 2022 11:02:02 AM

Summary: For our 6 day stay on the island, we wanted to avoid the crowded resort lodging. 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.

Teri S. Feb 28, 2022 02:00:09 PM

Summary: The cabin was everything we hoped it would be. Very clean and lots of flowers and extra touches. Beautiful views of the canal and palm trees. All the windows kept the place cool without having to use the air conditioning. The bed was fabulous. We will be staying here again when we come back to Kauai!! Thanks Paul!

Cassie R. Jan 24, 2022 01:00:20 PM

Summary: Mahalo Paul and Sam for a wonderful stay. We had a wonderful stay in Canal A. It felt very private and romantic but at the same time, all the amenities were there. A very special experience!

MARGARET H. Dec 9, 2019 01:12:48 PM

Summary: Fern Grotto Inn is well managed and in a perfect location. 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.

Summary: 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.

Jeff Feb 22, 2019 06:00:51 AM

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!
