Carlos Marina House 1
Thanks for the hospitality! We had a great stay here. Had our own private roof terrace which was very chilled and comfortable. Rooms were spotless and cleaned daily and our host and staff very friendly and hospitable. We also got transportation very easily to Malindi airport that we asked for! Lovely stay and would recommend, really great value for money.

The White House 3
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.

Escape to The Beach House - Your Private Paradise!
This is our 5th visit to The Beach House. We keep coming back for a bunch of reasons. Rehema, Ali and the rest of the staff are the best. The location right on the water with perfect views is unbeatable. Communication with Rory is consistently great. The top porch is some of my favorite square footage on the planet. And … have I mentioned how terrific Rehema is?

Nyumba Ya Madau - Stunning Beach Villa in Watamu

Red Sunshine Villa Pool B&B
Donatella's place was beautiful, clean, and spacious. She even had complementary Kenyan coffee, tea, and sugar. She had salt also. Amazing. Donatella was just a phone call away for anything we had a question about. Thankyou Donatella. Shalom

Casa Corra Kenya. Wonderful Place!
The villa is not just stunning, it’s a full experience. Think whitewashed walls, swaying palm trees, and a view that melts all your stress away. From the peaceful coastal vibes to the breathtaking views, every moment felt like a dream.Shout out to Peter and the rest of the stuff. Very responsive and respectfull. NOW to the real MVP? Chef Joshua. His meals were a whole experience fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. If you’re looking for a place that gives you both relaxation and elegance,with food that deserves its own spotlight, Casa Corra Villa is it. Already planning on going back.

Swimbo House 3 bedroom sleep 8 with seaview
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.

Bianca e Pietro House
Very nice place, perfect for a long weekend with friends. Convenient location near to Blue Marmalade and Gelato but also felt peaceful and secluded. Very helpful and accomodating staff. Would for sure stay again!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Welcome to the African dream
We had a very nice stay at "the African Dream"! The hosts enabled us to buy local fruit, veggies directly from the next village and even ordered a fish that was just brought from the ocean. They cooked amazing BBQ-fish for us and tought us a lot about Kenya, the coast and Kenyan food. We definitely enjoyed our stay! But you need to have a car, the beach is 1km away and beside the small local vendors, the next supermarket is to be found in Malindi, which is ca. 20mins away by car.

close to the sea II, Watamu
Really, really close to the best part of Watamu beach. Can't beat the location. It is adjacent to a hotel so you can also take advantage of what they have to offer.

Malindi Sea View Bungalow, The Baobabs.
We had a fantastic time at Thomas's place. Communication prior to the visit was great, she ensured everything was set before our arrival. The staff, what amazing souls! They took really good care of us during our stay. The house is well maintained, from the rooms and out on the pool you can seethe ocean, such a magnificent view. The beach is about 5 minutes walk from the house, I loved this section of the beach as we were all alone. It really is a great place for one to just get away and relax.

Kianga house - Malindi Kenya -
La maison est très confortable au milieu d'un havre de verdure, agrémenté d'une magnifique piscine à la propreté irréprochable. Les coins de repos sont nombreux et le mobilier, choisi avec goût, est très cosy. Il suffit de traverser la route et de parcourir une centaine de mètres pour rejoindre la plage. Samuel, homme très polyvalent, rend le séjour aisé.

Elena House Luxury Family Holiday Coastal Villa
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!

Amazing villa in Malindi
Such a beautiful place. The best was the outside area.

Villa Isla del Amore - Watamu
Tutto come da descrizione. Purtroppo ogni tanto va via la corrente in tutta Watamu e non c’è un generatore privato, pertanto se l’elettricità manca per molte ore oltre a non avere energia e wi-fi anche l’acqua in casa manca ( può capitare una o due volte in una settimana).Per andare in spiaggia e in paese serve il passaggio in tuk tuk o il passaggio in moto, se non si ha un mezzo proprio, Il Custode è gentilissimo e per gli spostamenti consiglio di affidarsi ai suoi suggerimenti. Grazie in particolare a Jumas che ci ha sempre fatto sentire che c’era senza invadenza
