Family-friendly holiday rentals in Malindi

We had a wonderful stay at Graham's property. The space was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The host was very accommodating, providing clear instructions and quick communication throughout my stay. The location was ideal, offering both convenience and tranquility. Thank you for providing such a great place to stay!

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.

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.

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?

This is a wonderful home and we had a fabulous time. We came as 2 families of 4 (from London) + grandparents (from Nairobi) - so 10 of us in total. The house is beautiful - very charming and comfortable - and spills out onto the beach (via a private gated entrance). The kids loved playing in the small private pool and having daily walks out onto the reef in low-tide. The stretch of coastline the house is on is idyllic - about 20 min drive from Watamu town. The chef and staff are very attentive. We're all vegetarian and they handled that pretty well (though naturally they're more accustomed to a meat/seafood menu). As a family/group holiday venue, this is highly recommended.

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

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.

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.

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!

Wambui's place was nothing short of amazing. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and serene then this is definitely the place. Wambui was a very wonderful host, very communicative and friendly. The house manager, Selina, was super friendly and very helpful. The house was cozy and exactly as described. We felt right at home . We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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.

The house is very comfortable in the middle of a haven of greenery, with a beautiful pool with impeccable cleanliness. The resting areas are many and the furniture, chosen with taste, is very cozy. You just have to cross the road and walk a hundred meters to the beach. Samuel, a very versatile man, makes the stay easy.

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!

Such a beautiful place. The best was the outside area.
