About this cottage rental

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.

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 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.

Our cottages are surrounded by a lush, tropical garden, which, combined with the fact that our property is very quiet, 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 the cottage you are booking. For more information and pictures, please visit our website.

CANAL COTTAGE A has an open layout and plenty of island charm. This cottage also comes with a full kitchenette and views of the river. It has a small patio area just outside the front door that overlooks the gardens.

The cottage was spotlessly clean upon arrival, nicely decorated, nice amenities. Plenty of towels of all kinds; nice big beach towels, bath towels and kitchen towels. Kitchen was well set up with a coffee maker, coffee, sugar and dishes. Outdoor amenities were also well appointed, bikes, kayaks and snorkeling gear. The grounds were very pretty, flowering plants all throughout.

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.

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!

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