Monthly Rentals in Manda Island

Fishbone is a beautiful traditional Lamu/Swahili style house, with a stunning roof terrace and a wonderful courtyard. You can sleep 8 guests comfortably. Best part: although there is no pool, it is very accessible within 5mn walk from the nearest beach and 7mn walk from Peponi hotel (and as always, you will enjoy getting lost in Lamu!), yet still very quiet and private. We have stayed in many houses in Lamu and Fishbone's architecture and attention to detail is unmatched! Points for improvement: some of the fans did not work and some of the mosquito nets are in need of repair (make sure to take mozzie repellent and anti-malarial tablets!). A clothes rack would also be helpful, especially in the rainy season.

We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Shela! We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the most magnificent garden! Claire is a very responsive host who provided tailored recommendations for our needs.

Staying at Abdillah's place in Shela was a genuine pleasure. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us warmly, making us feel like part of the local community. The accommodation itself was authentic, with a charming balcony offering a serene view of the sea—a perfect spot to relax and soak in the surroundings.​ Airbnb Abdillah went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. He provided laundry services, safely stored our bags on our last day when we had a late departure, and even organized tours for us to explore the area. These thoughtful touches made our trip seamless and enjoyable.​ The neighborhood was vibrant and welcoming, allowing us to experience the local culture firsthand. Overall, if you're looking for an authentic stay in Shela with a host who truly cares about your experience, Abdillah's place is a fantastic choice.​

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful house in the middle of Shela ! Chris was so helpful and flexible! 100% recommended!
