Watamu Paradise BeachFront

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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 is the second time I have been a guest in this villa. It is perfect for me and my family, large rooms, beautiful garden, swimming pool and direct access to the sea. I would like to highlight the staff, always available, professional and very discreet. I hope to be able to return soon.

Zahari House (Dhow house)

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

Shuma House

DeniseRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Simply Africa! The house is lovely as pictured, we were more families and we were able to divide the rooms so we each had their own privacy. Everything is very clean. Daily cleaning of the rooms with laundry service (really great). The beds have mosquito nets, but I have to say that there weren't many mosquitoes during this period. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. The chef, Martin, pampered us with his delicious kitchen, we ate really well and was available with our schedules. The pool is a plus, we enjoyed it a lot given the heat. Beach within a 5-minute walk. What to add? It was a really fabulous place to stay! Highly recommended!

Donnelly House, 3 bedrooms, private beach access

BethRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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.

Swimbo House 3 bedroom sleep 8 with seaview

FelicityRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

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!

Villa Mela, Malindi

AnnRating, 5 stars77 months ago
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.

Ritchie House Stunning peaceful beachfront 5BD

TreesjeRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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.
