Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Watamu Beach

Our stay at Azzurra's place was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The apartment itself was charming, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making us feel right at home, and the location is so close to the Watamu Mall where you can find an ATM, supermarket, nice coffee shop, and means of transportation to go around. The pool area was like a private oasis beautifully landscaped, impeccably maintained, and just the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. Whether we were lounging poolside with a good book or taking a leisurely swim under the sun, every moment spent here felt like pure bliss Furthermore, Azzurra went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a cozy, centrally located retreat with thoughtful touches and a gracious host, look no further this is the place for you! We can't wait to return. Thank you Azzura

I felt at home immediately I arrived at Swordfish.The guard expressed readiness to host us.During the stay,Gladys was very helpful and made our stay cool . Rossella assisted with a list of cabs to engage during the stay that we really appreciated.I would highly recommend Swordfish samaki house to anyone willing to stay in Malindi.

We had a fantastic stay at Mwanana House! Of all the places we've stayed in Kenya (there are many), the team at the house were the best. We were so well looked after - Antonina catered after our every whim without being asked and preempting our every need, Karisa cooked us the best meals every day, and Katana kept the pool and garden beautifully clean. This team thought of everything with incredible attention to detail and with great patience around small kids. Thank you so much

This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

appreciate and enjoyed every moment at the stay. Can recommend it any day any time

Home from home! A beautiful spot - gorgeous gardens, a fabulous swimming pool and a lovely home with lots of space to spread out and relax. Tess is the host with the most. From the initial booking information until our departure, Tess made sure we had everything we needed and more. She had great recommendations for the local area and was keen to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We really can’t rate her enough. The team of staff led by Daniel, the chef, were also amazing. Daniel’s cooking was suburb- our evening meals were restaurant standard. We particularly enjoyed the locally caught seafood. All in all, an amazing stay in a gorgeous spot!

Spectacular location by the sea (not even all well-known resorts in the area can offer that), fully equipped, spacious penthouse. It can get particularly warm in the attic/rooftop, but thanks to the sea breeze and at night, if necessary, AC/FAN, everything is pleasant. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much!

The best thing about the place is the staff. Very friendly and responsive. they went out of their way to help. The house is very close to the beach. The outside sitting area was very airy, the rooms were clean and the house was generally safe.

Amazing stay! he even provided me with car rentals, scooter bike rentals. Super affordable rates. If you're looking for a vacation. Worry not, Ivor's place is ready for you.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this lovely place in Malindi, and it was spectacular. From the moment we arrived, Sila went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The property itself is a gem –Very Spacious ,impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal, offering an easy access to the supermarket,Banks,the beach, Both African and Italian restaurants Surprisingly our host organized for us a local tour to the Gedi Ruin, Hell's kitchen in Marafa and Mambrui Sand dunes. Sila provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, activities, and hidden gems that truly enhanced our experience. What truly sets this Airbnb apart is the exceptional hospitality. Sila was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our trip memorable. Alex,the errand/ motorcycle guy who was recommended to us was also very reliable, honest and fast whenever we needed him to ge

we stayed at Angela's cottage for 3 Nights. she was very prompt to respond to any concerns. our entire stay was a great one. Surprised that even locals do not know about this local gem of a place. I would highly recommend staying at this cottage. we had a great time with family. checks off all the boxes from privacy, cleanliness, comfort, fun. thank you. Shirin - Canada

She is an amazing host!! Very responsive and checks on you to see if everything is okay. Definitely coming back when I’m in town!

nice quiet place next to the beach , ideal for couples or families who want relax and cooking at home

We loved our stay at Ghepard Residence. The staff there are the nicest and most helpful people you could meet, always available with a smile and to offer recommendations and ideas. (Especially Matano and Jackson, hopefully spelt their names right) The residence is safe, very peaceful and clean, the pool is lovely, everything was as expected. Location is also great, you are close to different beaches, restaurants and activities, usually a short ride on tuctucs. We hope to visit again next year and highly recommend to anyone thinking about staying

Shiku was very responsive & helpful. the location is easily accessible from Malindi town. and there's food & entertainment joints closeby. great stay.

It was nothing short of amazing. A lovely private, wholesome stay with a great surrounding and amazing view. Thank You Aisha!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

We had great time. Very convenient to reach the tourist attractions and restaurants. The host was super and responded promptly.

Great place, beautiful pool. Worth noting that the use of the kitchen is not guaranteed.

Lovely appartment just in front of the beach and close to all amenities. Very good communication with Alessandro who was always prompt to responding to queries. The A/C in the room was much appreciated! The nearby hôtels are a bit noisy over the week end. Overall a very pleasant experience!

We had a great stay at Lucy’s place. Check-in was smooth and on time, and the place was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was amazing, and we were able to use it every day. The air conditioner kept us comfortable, and having a washing machine and iron was really helpful, especially with the clothes we brought. A cleaner came in regularly, which kept everything tidy. Getting to the main amenities and nearby cities was easy, and tuk-tuks were readily available to pick us up whenever needed. Overall, everything went smoothly, and I would highly recommend staying at Lucy’s place!

We had a pleasant stay. Lots of amenities associated with the Gecko resort. Good restaurants not far away. Tribe Water Sports on the beach. Great Kite Boarding. Two big pools. Nightly entertainment. Daily cleaning.

This place was not only beautifully furnished, clean and in a very secure and prime location! Everything you need is provided, well stacked kitchen, endless supply of towels, and if anything was missing Susan and Hamisa the wonderful housekeeper were there ready to support immediately! I can not praise them or this place enough! The location is perfect! It’s right on the beach front, surrounded by many fantastic restaurants, bars, and boats for trips! We saw dolphins on a trip and went on an elephant sighting! It was magical! At the end of the day, it is peaceful and quiet to have a good night sleep and start the adventures again! I highly recommend Susan’s beautiful flat and will definitely be visiting again! I’ve already shared it with several friends, who I am sure will visit soon! Thank you so much Susan and Hamisa, you both are super kind and attentive and we appreciate your support throughout our stay! 🤍

Absolutely fabulous place. I would highly recommend it. Rachel had clear instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and has everything you need. There is so much to do in the area, Malindi is a lovely place to visit. Musa was very helpful and showed us around making sure we got everything we needed. Thank you for having us.
