This place was hands-down the best choice we made during our stay on Kauai—we would absolutely stay at the Fern Grotto again. The thoughtful touches to the cottage and the beach gear was FABULOUS. Paul and his team work hard to make these historic and charming rooms and grounds comfortable and lovely. The inn’s location and borrowable gear helped us to kayak and hike and snorkel in various parks around the island. It was just...dreamy. And easy! Absolutely recommend checking out the farmers markets for fresh fruit. Seriously, it was awesome.
