Beachfront vacation rentals in Watamu

very comfortable place! Ziro, the chef/house help was great. The compound is beautiful and very well located.

We have had a fabulous time at Sue and Damian’s. It’s one of the best Air BNBs we’ve stayed in. The accommodation is beautiful and has everything you need for a homely stay, there is real attention to detail which made all the difference! The staff were really helpful and always on hand without being intrusive. Sue and Damian went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We really want to go back!

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 week at Nadia's place. It was super clean and a lovely lovely space (with a great pool). Would definitely recommend

Absolutely stunning house and great communication from the host and office. The house is a bit older so bathrooms are a bit old and had some issues, but apart from that it is absolutely beautiful and right on the beach. Even better than on photos!

This place is quiet and very near the ocean. It is real value for money. Highly recommended.

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

Beautiful location, great staff, very clear and thorough communication about activities.

Great experience at Le Pleiadi. The rooms are spacious and the pool is splendid. Proper value for money. Would certainly recommend. Will be back.

This is a lovely house on the beach just next to Treehouse Watamu. The location is excellent, the staff very friendly, and the house has lots of spots to relax and hangout. It also has a nice pool, good mosquito nets and lots of fans. The ocean is a 3 minute walk and this particular stretch of beach is peaceful, empty and hassle free. The house has two good sized double rooms with a bunkbed (double down, single up) in a small corridor. It fit our family of five perfectly. Will definitely be back.

We loved our stay here so much. The view was stunning, and the layout really lovely. There was only 4 of us staying and it was perfect for that number. Watamu is hot, very hot, but there was an incredible breeze off the sea, fantastic pool that was cool but not cold, and the fans above the beds were perfect for keeping us cool at night. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Chef Funds food was delicious, and highly recommend his white or red snapper, chicken or beef. Joyce was polite, discreet and very helpful. She even washed our clothes for us. Can not recommend more. Hopefully will be back.

Slice of paradise in a quiet stretch between Malindi and Watamu. The pool and view was beautiful and peaceful. We were a group of 9 for the weekend - the team was very accommodating of our different needs, check in and check out times. Very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderfull stay in Ritchie's House. The house itself is wonderful, has a very beautiful garden and access to the beach. The service was excellent, and the chef was very professional and good as well. In short: we had an excellent stay at Ritchie's House. On top of that, all communication with Vivienne went extremely smooth. We felt warmly welcomed, even long before we even arrived. Vivienne is very responsive, and helped us with restaurant recommendations as well.

Great stay overall—very friendly staff and great location near several restaurants, pharmacy, supermarket, and beaches. Host can be a bit slow to respond but not a big issue as we didn’t have major problems. Would definitely stay again.

My friend and I had planned to stay at Francesca‘s for 4 nights but extended our stay since we liked it so much. The apartment seems to be pretty new, everything is very clean and furnished practically but still with nice details like the carving of the wardrobe or the wonderful terrace/balcony space. We were welcomed by Derick, who was our contact on the ground, but nevertheless Francesca always stayed in touch with me to see if we were fine. The apartment was a bit hot when we arrived, but as soon as we opened the windows and doors there was a nice breeze and it was easy to keep the house ventilated. Also, a BIG plus is that the beds and all windows have mosquito nets, so even if you leave them open, no problems with bites! Also, the accommodation is conveniently located near the beach, 3 mins away from „Watamu mall“ with a supermarket and a coffee shop, and a 15 min walk or short boda-drive from the centre. Overall a great price for value, I would definitely come again!

This place is very special and unique. The view from the house is amazing. In the morning you can observe the sunrise from bed. The bed is very big. You also have the possibility to cooķ but the kitchen is kept very simple. Its very save due to cameras and watchmen during night. Outside you have a table with 2 chairs in the shade and 2 sun loungers. Next to the house there is a bar. Food is a bit expensive there. The location of the house is almost 25 min by motorbike in the north of Watamu. Its a bit far from town but definately worth staying there for a few nights.

Renting this home Marcella for the second time and again very happy to stay at here property for the second time. Definitely I will contact Marcella again when I visit Malindi next time.

I recently stayed at the beautiful Nyumba Malaika Airbnb and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The host was wonderful and extremely welcoming. They were always available to answer any questions and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The location of the Airbnb was perfect. It was close to many places where we could relax and find great food. It was just a walking distance to the beach, which was a huge plus. The proactive staff was always available to offer assistance and made us feel at home. The swimming pool was clean and inviting. Overall, I would definitely recommend Nyumba Malaika Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. I had a great time and would love to come back again, especially during better weather. Thanks to the host and staff for making our stay an unforgettable one.

We were able to relax wonderfully in Silvia's house. There were eight of us as a family. The four rooms for sleeping are practically identical with one bathroom. It has enough space to linger and find a quiet corner. We were warmly welcomed and cared for by Evan, the chef, Andrew the 2nd chef and helper for everything, Margerit the cleaner, James, the gardener and Alex the night watchman. We lacked nothing. We discussed the food with Evan every day and we were never disappointed. Fresh fish, squid, and mussels were sold right at the front door and turned into delicacies by Evan and Andrew. The staff were very accommodating, flexible and also respected our privacy. We were able to enjoy manicure, pedicure and massages directly in the house. The beach and especially the football field was right behind the Maur. We can wholeheartedly recommend Silvia's house.
