About Canal Cottage A

Canal Cottage A sits alongside the canal in one of the quieter corners of Fern Grotto Inn's lush tropical grounds — a tranquil setting that immediately puts you at ease. The soft sound of water, the rustling of palms overhead, and the complete sense of privacy make this one of the property's best-kept secrets.

Inside, the studio has been tastefully updated with modern comforts while preserving its authentic 1940s plantation character. Air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchenette, a comfortable sleeping area, and a private bathroom give you everything you need for a relaxed Kauai stay. The open layout makes efficient use of the space, and the views out into the tropical greenery keep you connected to the island even indoors.

Canal Cottage A guests enjoy the same access to Fern Grotto Inn's full gear inventory as every other unit — complimentary kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, bicycles, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and more. The Wailua River is steps from your door, Wailua Beach is one block away, and the launch point for the Secret Falls kayak trip is right on the property. For couples looking for a quiet, character-filled retreat at outstanding east-side value, Canal A delivers exactly that.

What Guests Say

"Canal Cottage A is the definition of a well-kept secret. The canal setting is tranquil and private, the cottage is tastefully updated, and everything works exactly as it should. Grabbed the kayaks on day one and were on the river within ten minutes."

"Peaceful, comfortable, and fantastic value on Kauai's east side. The cottage has a great layout for two — the kitchenette made it easy to eat in and save money for experiences. Beach gear and bikes included. We used everything and loved every minute."
