Villa vacation rentals in Marafa

Randu welcomed us with a run down of how everything works, showed us the house and helped us sign in. It was very professional and felt very warm. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a great to have and our stay could not have been better. Thanks so much to Randu and his team!

We spent 2 amazing nights at Giulia’s House. Marica and Justin were so nice, helpful and friendly. They helped us a lot in many ways. Lovely villa indeed with cozy rooms, clean and large bathrooms and beautiful swimming pool & terraces. Highly recommend!

This is our second year staying at White House in Watamu and we will go back again next time we visit. It is a great location on part of the Watamu beach that we think is the best. It is easy to walk out of the gate and you are on the beach in 1 minute. The house is wonderful with enough fans that even on the hottest days you are able to keep cool. We like the fact that it is across from the Kobe Resort so you can go over and grab a drink or food plus there is always enough transportation nearby to run into town. The staff are wonderful and keep the house clean and are helpful if you need anything. The chef makes fantastic meals and we ate in most of the time as he can just order fish, shrip, lobster, crab right to the house. Overall a wonderful experience and we look forward to going back again next time we are in Watamu.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elena House. Kevin was super helpful, easy to contact and very quick in his responses. He also had plenty of very helpful tips about the area, things to do, contacts etc. The house and the pool were wonderful. Perfect for a big group and ac in every bedroom. The staff were extremely friendly and assisted us with everything we needed. The beach is just a short walk away and there are lovely restaurants a TukTuk trip down the road. We also recommend a boat tour to the beautiful sand islands. Highly recommended place!

Such a beautiful place. The best was the outside area.

It was a perfect stay in all its aspects. The house is beautiful, a short walk from the sea and Mida Creek. Jackson the cook is really great. Excellent cleanliness. Highly recommended, we hope to be back soon.

Andrew and Daniela are amazing hosts… My family and I felt right at home from the get go. Their home is beautiful just like the pictures I would definitely recommend and we shall be back if you will have us…. Every place Daniela recommended did not disappoint , restaurants , activities , lounging etc .. Andrew made everyone happy on top of that he’s a great chef, if you love sea food you are in the right hands. Thank you both for hosting us…

Janet’s place was just as described. We loved all the amenities and all the employees were very nice and helpful. Janet checked with us to make sure things were running smoothly which we appreciated. We loved her recommendations on restaurants and places to go. I would recommend her place and definitely stay again.

Absolutely incredible villa, everything went above and beyond what we could have wanted. Fantastic location with incredible views of the beach and the sunset from the roof. Everything is spacious, clean and we felt very at home and in our own private oasis. Joseph, Dixon, Moses, Robert and the team were such a delight and always on hand whenever we needed and we were so grateful for everything they did to enhance our experience. Couldn’t recommend this villa more

Thank you Antonio and Yasmine for a lovely stay in Watamu. The staff in both villas made us feel completely at home. Chef Evans continued to impress us with his delicious meals, Maggie, Andrew and the staff in the 2nd Villa were all amazing. We would recommend AC units in the main villa as the rooms would get hot at night. The other villa has nice cool rooms because they had ACs in each room. Overall, a fantastic stay - great food, great location, great rooms and great fun in the swimming pools - day and night. Thank you for your hospitality.

Fabulous villa with masses of space and well equipped kitchen . Photos on Airbnb don’t do it justice as the villa spaces are far bigger than you’d imagine and the air conditioning worked well . The villa is private , clean , spacious and the team from medina palms looked after us extremely well . Every day we had a lovely house team who cleaned and then also came in the afternoon to do the turn down for the night . We went snorkelling one day and also enjoyed near by restaurants and the markets for shopping . Plenty of tuk tuks whenever you needed one . Thank you for a wonderful stay

Giovanni’s place was truly outstanding! The space is beautiful and very calm and peaceful. We felt so at home. The staff are really excellent. They have a limited menu at good prices and the food is excellent. The pool is delightful. Just the right size of place - 5 rooms (some double, some twin) and many different common areas, which allow you to space out from other guests. We also made new friends. A really great experience all in all. Thank you Giovanni, Stephen and Ngala.

The best bang for buck on Airbnb! The pictures don’t do the property justice… What a beautiful villa!! The team at the house was excellent, highly recommend staying here!

Rispa is such a good host. Her staff are also such lovely people. Paul gave us directions to the place and took care of us while we were there. Emmanuel, the chef, and the cleaning lady were also lovely. The place is truly the white villa. It is so clean and spacious. It is private, and Paul also helped us organise logistics wherever we decided to move. 10/10 would recommend.

we had a great stay, thank you very much.

Beautiful villa, very clean, good internet. Friendly warm and welcoming host. Great team on the ground, very responsive and accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Beautiful and clean pool. Lovely garden. Good kitchen amenities. Lovely place. Love, love, love it. Thank you.

We had a great stay at Micio House. Michela and Rooney are great hosts and very friendly and so are the staff. The compound is a little oasis with a beautiful terrace, pool and garden with lots of trees and bushes. I highly recommend staying here if you're coming to watamu as a small group or couple.

Thank you Daniel and all the Baobab Village Team for our stay. Baobab Village is situated few minutes walk from the beach and a few minutes of TukTuk from Watamu center city, House was nice and clean, the swimming pool was huge and very well maintained. The chef Eric was amazing, and all the Team was welcoming and friendly. Definitly recommand !

The villa was clean and cute with great places to relax and the pool was bigger than expected. It's in a compound with other villas and so it was easy to ask questions and request for things (they happily gave a fan for the outside room which had no AC). Awa was also very responsive to all questions. one small thing is to ensure more small things such as hand soap and sugar but otherwise would definitely recommend

it was a fantastic stay at the villa. The place is even better than the pictures, Jhoseph helped us on everything and was very welcoming and friendly. I would recomend this place to anyone!! Hope to be back soon.

Debra’s place was exactly as depicted in the photos, and the accurate maps made arrival hassle-free. The space itself is lovely, featuring a kitchen equipped with everything you might need. Jasmine, who manages the property daily, was absolutely charming. The shared swimming pool is stunning and conveniently located just steps from the house. Generally felt secure even walking back to the residence in the night. The beach, easily accessible via Marine Park Road, is just a short walk away. One minor note: While the pool’s easy accessibility was a plus, it posed a slight challenge with my 2-year-old daughter—temporary safety barriers could enhance the experience for families with young children. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend Debra’s place as the go-to choice for anyone visiting Malindi.

Really great place. Huge thank you to the management team, they really looked after us. 100% recommended, especially for a big family.
