Canal Cottage A — Direkter Flussblick, ein Block vom Strand

Canal Cottage A sits alongside the canal in one of the quieter corners of Fern Grotto Inn, with the Wailua River in view from every part of the room. Built in 1953 and joined to its sister unit, Canal B, it keeps its plantation character, updated with the comforts that matter. It's an honest, well-kept studio for two who plan to spend their days on the water and the beach.

THE STUDIO
• Queen bed
• River views from the whole room
• Kitchenette for breakfasts and simple meals
• Window air conditioning
• Private bathroom with bidet
• WiFi, Alexa, hair dryer, earplugs and in-room beach towels
• Coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and cooking oil to get you started
• One parking space
• No patio or lanai; two gas grills are in the common garden

INCLUDED WITH EVERY STAY
Guests share complimentary gear, first come, first served: three kayaks (two doubles and one single), four bikes, two paddleboards, snorkel sets, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, mats, umbrellas, beach toys and life jackets. A double kayak alone rents for $95–150 a day in Kapaa; here you launch from the property, and the paddle to Secret Falls starts right off the grounds. Two guest laundry rooms are free to use, with detergent provided.

LOCATION
Wailua Beach is one block away. The protected lagoon at Lydgate Park is a 15-minute walk. Kapaa Town's restaurants and shops are about five minutes away by car, or an easy ride on the coastal bike path.

ABOUT FERN GROTTO INN
