Waterfront vacation rentals in Watamu Beach

Trizah’s BnB was a gem, conveniently located close to basic amenities and just a 2-minute walk to the beach. The BnB was clean, cozy, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond by providing thoughtful touches, like essential kitchen supplies, including oil, which saved us from purchasing large quantities we wouldn't use. The extra care and attention to detail made our stay even more enjoyable. Plus, Trizah was always quick to respond to any questions we had, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Definitely a place we'd love to return to!

Beautiful location, easy to access all the great sites to see in Malindi

Trizah was a perfect host. She was kind & very helpful. They were renovating some of the surrounding units and the pool area, but Trizah's place was a diamond and offered way more for your money than other places. It was a very short walk past the pool to the beach entrance. There was a lot of seaweed at the time, but it was mostly empty and peaceful. The penthouse apt was BEAUTIFUL!!! The pictures don't do the place justice. We didn't want to leave. I LOVED the private roof top deck which had a 180 view of the ocean beyond the trees and tons of comfortable seating. The many ceiling fans inside kept us from ever turning on AC. The water in the showers were nice and hot. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed. The king size beds were super comfortable, as were the sofas with recliners. Linette, the housekeeper, was an added bonus. She was very attentive and friendly and kept the place spotless. If I come to Malindi again, the Zuri Penthouse Apt is where I'll definitely be staying.

The place met all my expectations. Very friendly and courteous hostess. Extremely clean space with very good opportunities for sporting activities. I'd love to come back!

This is the review for my extended stay and worth saying again how much we enjoyed staying at Debora's place. The location, the view, the pool, the staff was all amazing. I hope I'll be able to be back again. Thank you again!

Daniele's place was a wonderful and memorable experience for us. The staff members are super friendly, thumbs up to the security guard ;Tete and Michael. The cleaners Jacky and Amina, they are very friendly and helpful. Daniele's place was very clean and free of clutter. Many places to have activities and are all so close to each other. We will definitely come.

Our stay at Villa Mkauju was absolutely fantastic! The villa is stunning, offering tranquility and comfort. A big thank you to the wonderful staff who were incredibly attentive and made us feel at home. Special thanks to the owner for maintaining such a beautiful property. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in Malindi. Can't wait to return!

We had a wonderful holiday at Dhow House. A great location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Kids loved the pool and using the top deck for meals was also special! Thanks

Great house to spend time with family and Friends ! We loved The location on the beach, near a kitesurf spot, the swimming pool, the staff… Thank you, Flore

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

We spent a wonderful family holidays at Federica’s, her apartment was very well located, clean and functional. The staff very welcoming, we had a great time and will stay again for sure!

My parents and I had an absolutely lovely time at Shell House. Kevin, the chef, was amazing, and Mercy, the housekeeper, was very sweet. Helga was extremely communicative throughout, even being a great help during a check-in at 4AM online, as well as giving tons of recommendations. The location is lovely - it's a bit off from the rest of Watamu but connected to a beach with some small bars. One thing to know is that it's not the best ocean swimming spot as there are lots of blowfish and sea urchins and it's shallow. But the lovely salt-water pool made up for it! There's a generator in the property so power always comes back on quickly and the Wifi worked very well. Overall, we had a fantastic time. Thank you!!

Enjoyed my stay. Linda was a really helpful host and so was the house keeper -Jemimah. Linda's apartment and balcony was amazing which I liked. However, the exterior looked like it needed a lot of touch probably due to the renovations ongoing in some part of the complex. In all, I'll stay there again and hope the complex is finished before my next visit.

This is my 4th time staying at one of Denise's apartments in Gecko. Nice to have a mix of self catered apartment, but with the amenities of a resort. You also can't get a location better than this in Watamu. Highly recommended!

This was a prefect location for my family traveling with my elderly parents. Everyone was very helpful, the location is great and there is a wonderful mix of having the privacy of a two room self cater apartment but within a resort so that you have the best of both worlds including access to the swimming pools, restaurants and bars. Kitchen is basic but reasonably well appointed. A wonderful location and 5 minutes to the beach.

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.
