We loved staying at the Fern Grotto Inn! We stayed in Coco C, which was the perfect amount of space for my husband and I. The kitchenette had every appliance you could need, the bed was king-sized and comfortable, and the double shower was spacious, clean, and a treat! The grounds are very beautiful -- we enjoyed spending mornings outside drinking coffee and searching for fruit to pick. There is a lot of thought that was put into the Fern Grotto, from the aloe and sunscreen provided on the bathroom shelf, to the hoses outside to rinse off and motion-censored lights that make walking in at night feel safe. Very different that a resort experience, but gave us the home-away-from-home we needed and central base to go off from and adventure everyday. There is a lot of construction on 56, unfortunately right outside of the Fern Grotto right now, so just time things accordingly after 11AM. It added probably 15-30 minutes everyday to our drive back home. Luckily, it didn't disturb us much sound or light-wise once we were at the airbnb. The laundry is shared amidst all the rooms at the inn. While it was very convenient and not much of an issue finding time between other people's uses, it was something we had to time strategically so as to not leave loads in the washer or dryer and inconvenience others. his is a great central location on the island to have drivable ventures from everyday. Kapa'a is a great town itself and had some of our favorite foods, but the other parts of the island have even more awe-inspiring scenery, so make sure to explore, explore, explore!
