Vacation rentals with a kayak in Kenya

the house is super beautiful, very airy and the wind passes through. the pool is great and the rooftop terrace is jist incredible for star gazing. the location is as described, some 10mins walk from Peponi. it's an easy walk and allows you to feel a bit more like part of the local life. however, it's not so comfortable for going to the beach, perhaps more for hanging out in the beautiful house, going out for dinners.. a great option for a larger group of friends. we felt a bit like the house staff intruded our privacy a bit too much on the first day, but this was quickly addressed when we spoke to the manager and Bassam.

Lovely house, great pool, attentive but unobtrusive staff including a great chef. You need some reliable Tuk Tuk drivers to get to the beach and other places but you wouldn’t get a place of this quality/price by the beach. Both our families had an incredible stay at Watamu.

I experienced the true meaning of hospitality. Well done.

Our stay at fig house was on all accounts flawless. The property sits on the edge of a very peaceful creek, with varying sea / creek views from its many vantage points. The house itself is wonderfully spacious with beautiful finishings and an enormous and aesthetic swimming pool. It was a joy to wake up and swim in the pool or the creek everyday, and then to enjoy meals prepared by the highly skilled staff (every meal was top quality). The local hangout spot less than a 10 minute walk from the house provides a uniquely jungly and relaxed atmosphere with a small shop fully stocked with anything you could feasibly need. There is also a coffee bar which serves very tasty local beers and smoothies, and a small restaurant / event space with delicious food. Freddy is a top host, very accommodating and responsive, and the house itself is certainly a stand out rental on the Kenyan coast, and sure to be a family for us moving forward. Thank you!

Paradise! The Shanti Beach House was an exceptional place to spend our last week in Kenya. The staff was excellent and answered any questions that we had about the island, traveling to Shela/Lamu or the food. We never did try any of the restaurants as Katana’s cooking was magnificent. Any little hint of what we might like to try for a meal and he made it happen! The accommodations were exactly as described, but the outdoor shower was the best part! Leave your cares behind and unwind at this beautiful beach front property. I highly recommend!!
