Casa Blanca -Shela beachfront cottage -new listing

TamaraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Claire‘s Airbnb exceeded all our expectations and was hands down one of the best experiences we've ever had! The host and on-ground staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The place itself was even more beautiful than the pictures, and we felt so lucky to have stayed there for three nights. Some highlights that truly made our stay unforgettable were the huge private swimming pool in the backyard, daily cleaning and turn-down service at no extra cost, and having a professional chef who prepared the best Kenyan food we've ever tasted. The caretaker was an absolute gem, going above and beyond to assist us with everything we needed. What made it even better was how memorable and yet super affordable the experience was. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a remarkable and budget-friendly getaway. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽

Zahir House, Shela, Lamu

KristiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This home was so great and Chantel was a very responsive, informative host. A lot of what made the stay so great was the house staff that were so kind and helpful and the cook Patrick made the most amazing meals. Every meal we were pleased and he was very responsive to our requests. The house is very clean with comfortable sleeping arrangements all with mosquito netting. There are six floors- so need to be able to walk up stairs, and the main living space is on the fourth floor- which is all open air and so delightful to have meals on the beautiful table with the warm ocean breeze. The other floors are bedrooms with the roof top having a great view of the city and the ocean. The house is located a very easy short walk to the beach through the skinny "streets" dodging donkeys. Chantal also provided the names and contact info of people to do various tours and activities around the island which was so helpful! Get Betty for a massage!! FYI: only the fourth floor has wifi access.

ONEWAY House Lamu Seaview Rooftop and Pool

ZachariahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is a beautifully restored house located right in the heart of Lamu. Architecturally, the whole house is just stunning and the pool/courtyard was gorgeous. Every room was full of character and distinctive and the overall decor was perfect. It's truly a distinctive property and the owner went out of his way to imbue it with local character. If what you want is quick access to the beach and a more generic resort vibe (with lots of wazungus), you're better of in Shella. But if you want to see the historic town and experience Lamu/Swahili life and culture, it's hard to imagine a better option. The staff was also extraordinarily attentive and discrete and the cook is genuinely a talented chef who indulged us with brilliant local cuisine every day. (One minor issue -- the wifi wasn't working, but we didn't miss it.)

We had a lovely stay, beautiful house close to Shela beach. Raphael and all the staff were great. We loved the pool for cooling down. Lots of low ledges and high drops so be very careful with little ones

Fishbone House - Shela Lamu

PaalRating, 5 stars1 week ago
we had a wonderful week in Fishbone house. The house is special, have a good and gelatin vibe. All the things in the kitchen are in superb condition. The staff with Racheal and James are very good and dobtheir outmost to make the stay perfect. They makes a very good breakfast. Ask if they can call the chef Kombe to come and make dinner for you. His spagetti Vongole is one of a kind..The Swahili dinner he makes is outstanding.. The best value for money on the island..Thanks to Racheal, James and Eddy for making our week in Lamu a true blessing.

Mbibo House in the Shela Dunes with Pool

ZackRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had an amazing time at Hannah's gorgeous property, and Hannah and the staff made us feel very at home. Lawrence, the chef, was incredible and you must try his ginger crab. The house is a bit outside the village itself, but not a bad walk and there's also a stunning walk through the dunes to the beach. Would definitely come back here next time I'm in Lamu!

Beautiful Villa in Shela, Lamu

MarthaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Located in the dunes just a short walk from town, the Villa in Shela offered a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. The house staff, Philacent and Elina, were kind and provided excellent service. My family had a lovely time at the villa, which has several comfortable spots to gather and lounge. The grounds are beautiful, and the rooftop offers a nice view. Livia was incredibly responsive and helpful. She provided a detailed list about the house, along with extensive suggestions for places to visit, expected prices, and contact information. Planning our days was a breeze. Livia also arranged for a chef, Martin, and his assistant to cook for us. The meals they prepared were delicious, and we felt totally spoiled. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay here!

Casa Papaya House

LeaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The stay at Papaya House was fantastic. Nina was an amazing host and made sure all was going smoothly during our time there. The staff, Daniel and Safari, have been more than helpful and pleasant to be around. The food was delicious and the place was spotless. Shela is a cozy little town and from the house everything is walkable easily. The house itself is just gorgeous- the beautiful garden, the interior design and more than plenty of space to hang out or enjoy the stars at night. We hope to come back one day!
