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 and was featured in Lonely Planet—all thanks to our warm hospitality, prime location, and super cute plantation cottages.

One of the best parts about Fern Grotto Inn is our central location. Why limit yourself to Princeville or Poipu, when you can stay with us and easily drive to both the North and South Shores within 45 minutes

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 secluded, vintage plantation cottages. Originally constructed in the 1940s and 1950s, our six 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.

Our cottages are surrounded by a lush, tropical garden, which, combined with the fact that our property is very quiet and private, creates the feeling that you’re in old-time Hawaii, far from civilization. It’s the perfect setting for your honeymoon or other romantic getaway.

Here’s a brief description of Ohana House. A 14.962 percent tax will be applied to the rates quoted below. For more information and pictures, please visit our website.

OHANA HOUSE offers guests 1,200 square feet of luxury. Insider you’ll find three bedrooms, three bathrooms, hardwood floors, air conditioning, and a large kitchen and dining area. There’s also a small porch that overlooks the garden. Ohana House sleeps up to six guests comfortably, but it’s also a great option for couples who want more space. Two bedrooms have queen-size beds, and a third has two twin-size beds.

    We all absolutely loved the cottage. Plenty of space for the six of us.The amenities were an incredible bonus. The location and access to every thing we wanted to see and do was perfect.

    We have been to Kauai several times but found Ohana House at Fern Grotto to be the best yet. The house was fully stocked with all the amenities, the grounds were beautiful, the additional water equipment and bikes were a huge bonus. The location was great too. Highly recommended.

    Great amenities. Appreciated the bikes, boogie boards, umbrellas, SUP and beach towels. Perfect location for day trips all over the island. Very well stocked kitchen. The swans and flowers upon arrival were a bonus.

    This place was perfect for our adult family of 5. The bikes made it easy to get around, and we made use of the kayaks and paddle boards on the river. The kitchen is well stocked with basics, and the beds are very comfortable. Would happily stay again.

    Our 6-person group really enjoyed the house. Maybe the most well-stocked house we've stayed in, very comfortable home with every room getting it's own bathroom. Paul was very responsive and easy check in/out. Only downsides to the house are not the easiest walking access to the beach (for elders in our group) and a bit noisy from the road nearby. But the house itself and central location for the island was fantastic.

    We stayed here for more than a week and the property met and exceeded our expectations! The Ohana unit is gorgeous and full of Hawaiian charm. The garden is immaculate and peaceful. We picked fresh, ripe fruit off of the trees. We used the beach and kayaking equipment (we kayaked up the Wailua river to go to Fern Grotto). The house is also centrally located, so you can easily get to the North shore or Waimea or Poipu. We really enjoyed our stay here and would come back! Paul and the rest of the crew are amazing! :-)

    This is truly a great property. Bikes, kayaks and other gear available for guests. The inlet to the river for kayaking is a big plus. Fresh fruit on the trees is a big plus. I recommend this property to anyone. You will not be disappointed.
