Villa vacation rentals in Kilifi

Staying at Villa Malaika was probably the best choice I ever made on this app. Kevin was very responsive and communicative. Sadiki and Rozie who work around the Villa were fantastic, helpful, friendly, honest and very gracious people. I felt so much love and connection. The house is situated in a safe neighbourhood, the pool is fantastic but not for none swimmers. The animals and nature was delightful. The whole house has a warmth that's unmatched. You feel at home and very free. The house is clean, Rozie sees to it that the bedsheets are changed and I cannot stress how kind she is. There was nothing I lacked for since the house is just a few meters from the hub of Mtwapa. Transport is easy. Finally this is a place I would recommend if you have a family or a group of friends. It's perfect and we were so relaxed and happy there. We regretted our leaving but that's life. Thanks Kevin, Kevin's mum( she was absolutely amazing to talk to) and Sadiki and Rozie. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We have just had a wonderful stay at Villa Cleo. It was truly a fantastic stay. Patrick and Jacky were super responsive and very accommodating to our requests. The house was spotless and the garden was attended carefully. Its a 15 minute walk to the beach and a really lovely place to stay. I'd love to visit again!

Fulvio’s place is wonderful- clean, spacious and relaxing. Fulvio was responsive, and communication was easy and smooth. Many thanks to Fulvio’s friendly staff, Omari and Agnus, who took great care of us during our stay. They gave us space but when we needed something, they made it happen. Omari’s cooking was outstanding! We had seafood pasta and traditional Kenyan food, including homemade chipati and samosas. We hope to come back to Watamu and stay at Fulvio’s beautiful house again!

Ideal spot in front of a paradise beach in front of watamu coral reefs. The view and the location is just ideal. The host was always there to help and provide advices. Just maybe missing moskito nets on the windows downstairs. Asante sana

A beautiful home, with amazing views. Location is good and safe environment with a local guard. Also, the friendly staff to my family. The recommended chef, Daniel, was top tier and my family and I enjoyed every meal he cooked for us and we loved the variety of meals he can make. The caretaker, Josephat, made sure everything we needed was made available. We cannot wait to go back.

We spent a whole month at Saleem's villa, and it was incredible. The property has a huge pool, and it’s right by the sea. The views are stunning, and the beach is usually so quiet, it feels almost private. One thing that really stood out was how peaceful it was. Just sitting outside, listening to the waves and birds, added to the tranquil vibe of the place. The villa is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen. It also has a beautiful garden, maintained by gardeners. Moses, who took care of the villa, ensured it was always clean, which we really appreciated. Saleem was a great host, he was easy to communicate with and even installed mosquito doors for us before we arrived. It was a thoughtful gesture. He also arranged our airport transfers, which was super helpful. Photos and description don’t do this place justice. It’s even more beautiful in person. If you’re looking for a quiet and private getaway, we can’t recommend this spot enough. It felt like our own little piece of paradise.

Our stay was extraordinary, the Villa is so beautiful and soothing. We enjoyed the pool which is fabulous too! Sabrina is a very friendly and available host, we also thank Ngowa who was great! These moments spent at the Villa will remain engraved for life so we felt good there! Thank you so much to Sabrina and Ngowa for hosting.

Monica host is always available with Grace who has always assisted us on site when needed and very quickly. Well-maintained house, clean and tastefully furnished, great outdoor space. As there is no generator when the power goes out, you have to wait for it to come back. We adapted and it didn't give us much trouble. The power here in Watamu leaves every day for sometime and then comes back. To get to the beaches or the village you need tuk/motorcycle or taxi. For us who were three of us perfect to go anywhere. We have been to Watamu several times for vacation and I recommend Monica's apartment here she wants pricacy and a quiet, nice and clean place. Here you are immersed in nature so the birds chirping will keep you company every day. Thanks again to Monica and Grace for everything, we had a great time and we hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful stay with two families. The kids loved the pool, the beach and the fantastic breakfast provided bij cook Samuel. He made pancakes every morning, what a treat! Moses and Dixon took very well care of us. After breakfast the beds were made, the rooms clean and the laundry clean and neatly folded on the desk. As a mom of five kids, that was an enormous treat! Lunch and diner were delicious too. What a luxury to come back to the house after a great time at the beach and find the table all set for a lovely meal. We went out for diner once at a great Libanese restaurant in Watamu. Great food, we can highly recommend it. And besides a great taste in food, the owner had a good taste in music too. Love that Baraka House is build in the local style. Adds a great charme to the whole experience. We would recommend this house and the area and would love to come back some day.

We booked 3 villas for a family member's milestone birthday looking for a location that would be special and memorable. These villas lived up to it. The location was breathtaking - steps away from the beach and sea, whilst also close to amenities. The gardens were beautiful and well kept and living spaces thoughtfully designed, comfortable and cozy. The staff were incredible Yasmin, Chengo, Evans, Andrew, James, Maggie and Emma went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. They were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any questions or requests we had. Their warm hospitality truly made us and in particular the birthday girl feel special and at home. The chefs cooking was incredible too! All in all an exceptional experience - asante sana!

This villa is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with family and friends. Well positioned within the Medina Palms resort and with privacy and facilities that the smaller apartments do not have, I would definitely stay here again. Jacob was very easy to communicate with online and the staff at Medina Palms are excellent.

My company and I recently enjoyed a delightful stay in Malindi at this beautiful villa, thanks to the warm hospitality of John and David, two friendly staff members who made our experience memorable. The day was hot, but the well-functioning air conditioning provided a refreshing escape from the heat. Throughout our stay, every meal was thoughtfully prepared, and the in-house laundry service added a level of convenience that we all appreciated. Seeking to unwind, we requested massages, and John quickly arranged for a skilled masseuse to come to the villa at a very reasonable fee. The presence of a massage bed in our villa was an added luxury that enhanced our relaxation experience. The kids particularly enjoyed the villa's swimming pool, showing little interest in the nearby beach despite its proximity. Located just seven minutes from the beach, the villa also had an array of excellent eateries and restaurants along Causorina Road, making dining out easy and enjoyable.

I had a lovely time staying at the place - the chef and other staff were amazing (I think I gained 10 pounds with all the great local cooking make sure to order local lobster and parrot fish ). I definitely will be staying here again next year as this is my new go to holiday home . Apart from the amazing staff the property is right on the beach and I went on a snorkelling excursion which can be booked next to the property.

Great area, private and clean.

My family had a lovely time at La Casa Godspeed.The house has extensive views and gardens. It is so refreshingly beautiful and very spacious. The staff are attentive to details and very cooperative.

This place looked just like the photos and had plenty of space! Staff on hand were friendly and helpful while respecting our privacy. Host had lots of recommendations for local activities, and was easy to communicate with, and expectations were clear from the off-set. This place is fantastic for a group with kids! The indoor play space was excellent for when the kids were overheated and needed a break from the sun. We would absolutely stay here again!

Heaven on Earth. Everything about this location was spectacular. Our family didn’t want to leave and had my children’s school not started soon after we left we would have requested to extend our stay. The staff (Japhet, Margaret, and Stella) at the Red House were so sweet and helpful. They tried to do everything they could to make our stay as delightful as possible. I truly appreciated their company and work. My children loved them and asked if they would come back home with us! “Haha!” I would recommend the Red House to anyone and everyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

We had a lovely stay with Marica. The house is a classic swahili/italian style with a mature garden. It is so peaceful and the house is very charming. The kitchen is fully equipped. The pool is large and shaded. We felt very welcome and totally at home there. Marica and Justin were lovely to the kids and they loved the pool. There are nice ceiling fans over each bed so you don't miss the air conditioning and there are several places to relax or eat in the garden. The neighborhood is quiet and although you are across the road from the beach, the walk is very short - there is a nice public access road almost directly across from the house. The beach is not crowded this far north from town and there are amazing islands and tidepools at low tide. You can also walk to a few resort/restaurants. We hope to come back! A few tips for coast travelers who like the privacy of a self-catered home - there is a water dispenser (bring a returnable 20L), a large moka pot, and cleaning supplies.

we had such a wonderful, peaceful stay. housekeeping was great, really great communication. Great WiFi so I worked well from the house... beach right there...well maintained pool. will definitely be back!!!

Lovely clean villa, with ample space for 3 visitors. Outdoor space is great, with gorgeous pool view. Not many other guests on complex so quite relaxing. Great place to unwind and relax. Encountered a cute hedgehog, but sadly missed visit from neighbouring monkeys 🙈 Approx 20 mins ride to town for shops, so transport definitely needed, but lots of tuk tuks and bikes (boda bodas) nearby. Many thanks to Jasmine, for keeping the place clean and helping us practice Swahili 🫶🏽

perfect moment in a perfect place

This house is amazing and we've enjoyed our stay. The place is clean, relaxing and comfortable. We will love be back! Well done, Joseph! 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

We had a brilliant stay. The house is stunning and there is so much to do in Watamu. We saw dolphins, enjoyed the beach and ate wonderful food at Crabshack, Non Solo Gelato, Ocean Sports, Medina Palms and Gecko Hotel. Michelle and Johnson are delightful and go above and beyond to make your stay great. It's such a wonderful place and we hope to visit again soon.

Klein’s place is truly a gem that you wouldn't want to miss out on. It's conveniently located near the Golf Club, Country Club, tennis courts, and swimming pool, making it an ideal spot for sports enthusiasts. You can easily access the clubhouse within 5 minutes on foot, while the restaurant is only a short 5-10 minute walk away. The website's description of the place is spot-on, and we were lucky enough to have Edlah as our housekeeper. She was incredible and accommodated all of our requests. Klein was also fantastic, always ready to help us out and answer any questions we had. The place itself was immaculate, clean, and had a warm and welcoming vibe. The sunsets were simply breathtaking.
