House vacation rentals in Watamu

We had an awesome time at the place and Gladys was very helpful throughout our stay. The place was clean, peaceful and beautiful. Walking distance to the beach. I would highly recommend to my friends and family. it will be my go to place whenever am in Malindi.☺️

Most pleasureable and relaxing. Ruth was always at hand to help and very friendly. The place is wonderful in all aspects. I would make a return visit and would definitely tell my links about the great getaway Ruth's Dolly's Holliday Villa is.

This is the third time we have returned to Lucy’s place as a family, and it’s safe to say we hope for many more. Away from the hustle of Watamu town, the cottage offers quiet and serenity you won’t find many places, with charming simplicity and the feeling that you are truly a local for the week! The house is decorated in the loveliest Swahili style, all of the towels and kitchen items are there for you, and the pool is a perfect place to spend all day. We especially love the beach (2 mins walk) for exploring tide pools with our little kids. Be sure to bring a bucket and swim shoes for hours of fun. If you need to find civilization, the nearby Rock and Sea and Mida Creek is there for massage, drinks, or meals within walking distance…then head right back to your private retreat. Katana, Lorna and Albert always take the best care of us too. It is truly our happy place. Thanks Lucy!

Great place, a paradise. Excellent to chill, enjoy the incredible surrounding and very amicable people. Highly recommended. Real value for money.

Very clean and private villa which is well maintained.

The house is modern and clean, very welcoming hosts and a good place to relax and unwind

My friends and I stayed at the Lakeside House for 4 nights and we had the best experience ever. The place is extremely beautiful and modern, the pictures don’t even do the place justice. During our stay the place was so clean, the staff were so welcoming, the swimming pool was such a great amenity, the dogs were also so cool. Chef Nassir, Erastus the security guy, and the other staff (I can’t remember their names) were absolutely amazing and they were so good to us. This is a place I would highly recommend and I would go back as well. 😊

Joanne’s Airbnb is exceptional and she was consistently responsive! I was leading a school trip with a colleague of mine to learn about environmental stewardship in the Watamu area. We had 8 students under our care so there were 10 of us total. Where to begin with the positives! First, the location is phenomenal! It’s only a 5 minute walk to the beach which the students loved. Second, the Airbnb itself is stunning! The rooms were well decorated as was the rest of the villa. You could eat meals on the 2nd floor close to the pool and on the 3rd floor with a beautiful view. Third, the chef, Hatua, is an excellent cook. I coordinated a menu with him and he purchased all of the groceries for us. Fourth, the rest of the staff were kind and gracious. They always had a smile on their face and kept the place looking great. The only minor negatives were that only 1 room had AC and the blue tile in the dining area got slippery when wet. Nonetheless, I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb!

Après une hésitation suite au manque de commentaires , je ne regrette pas mon séjour bien au contraire , situation à 5 mn du centre , assez calme , Clarisse s'occupe de tout de la cuisine au test de l'eau de la piscine , très content de mon choix, rapport qualité / prix intéressant je le recommande , et j'y retournerai

The villa locates 2-minute walk to the beach. Housekeeper and chef (chef is not included in the fee. need extra cost) are professional to keep the room always clean and provide simple but excellent seafood. Highly recommended for family stay!

I spend 5 wonderful days in Watamu, the house is literally at 2-walking-minutes from the sea. The structure is clean, spacious and well equipped! The host was always available and kind!

exceptional place, Alberto was very helpful and so were the team, great food great team, great place

Gianluca is very nice and friendly and so is the staff and their service. The place is amazing and it was exactly as advertised. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be staying with them again

Spacious villa, easy check-in, looks better than the pictures. Everything is in pristine condition. Set on a lush garden with access to swimming pools, three minute walk to the beach. Easy access to amenities and transportation with a major supermarket and restaurant within walkable distance. Great host, greater value for money. Enjoyed my stay here and will be returning. Highly recommend this property 10/10.

Just WOW!!! :-) What a wonderful place, we had a magnificent stay here. Sylivia greeted us at our arrival, she was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We really liked this interaction, it made us feel right at home. Concerning the villa, it is a beautiful place to stay in with an A-class host. It is palatial with 3 massive ensuite bedrooms. We couldn't ask for a better stay, the villa was clean, tastefully decorated and furnished and the pool and entertainment areas were all fabulous. We had an outstanding stay. We would gladly stay at the same place next time as the location is just perfect. Thanks again for everything Sylivia, we will be sure to come back should we find ourselves back in Malindi.

The place is tranquil, the host gave us an ecstatic welcome. It's spacious to accommodate more than the 4 of us who came, so clean, it's a must come back place for me.

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.

Great price for what we got. The caretaker is on site ready to help at all hours. Flexible check out ready to accommodate my schedule. Just loved it.

We had a wonderful stay at this house. It is beautiful, convenient and very comfortable. The house is extremely well maintained and very spacious. We would definitely hope to return next time we go to Watamu.

The house is in a great location, close to the beach and many beachfront restaurants. The house is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

Having visited Watamu many times over the course of the last 5 years- this has easily been my best stay! My girlfriend and I were looking for a private, quiet, stay away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and Rob and Kim’s place more than delivered. Kim welcomed us upon arrival with a smile and answered every question we had and more. Sammy, the pool attendant and house cleaner was immaculate in his attention to detail and making sure we were always safe and the house in pristine condition. There is always security on the property, zero surrounding noise, and the personal plunge pool was amazing. Rob and Kim provided us with all the restaurants and information we needed in a neat little PDF and the WiFi was super fast. As a couple who safaris in Kenya often and looks for a retreat on the coast afterwards- we will never book anywhere else!

Io, il mio ragazzo e una coppia di amici siamo tornati oggi dal nostro splendido viaggio in Kenya a Watamu. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di scegliere Villa Natasha Jua per alloggiare. Non ci sono parole per descrivere la perfezione di questo posto, ottima posizione, camere stupende e appartamento perfetto da dividere con una coppia di amici, grazie ad il bagno in ogni camera. Per non parlare della fantastica cuoca Prace, ci ha cucinato dei piatti buonissimi ed è di una dolcezza infinita. Per quanto riguarda l’Host Natasha , ci siamo trovati benissimo fin da subito. Disponibile per ogni cosa, gentile e amichevole. Se avete intenzione di alloggiare a Watamu, straconsiglio Villa Natasha Jua!

We stayed for one week and it was the perfect place to stay. There were plenty of rooms for everyone to have their own space, and several common areas for us to spend time together. We loved that it was private so we could relax as a family, swim as a family, eat as a family, etc. Brian was so knowledgeable about things to do, such as getting to the beach, shopping, and so much more. We opted to have meals cooked for us and all of our meals were delicious. The chefs are incredible! One small issue we had was the wifi cutting in and out a few times, but someone was always there shortly to try and fix it. The private pool and proximity to the beach are two things we really wanted and Casa Corra had both of those. The pool is quite large, and if we opted to go to the beach, it was only a 10 minute walk, and not confusing to get there. We loved this house and would love to stay here again for any future visits to Watamu!

I had the most incredible stay at Valentina's villa in Watamu. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness. The accommodation itself was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the breathtaking beach. Valentina went above and beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable stay. Her attention to detail and genuine care made me feel right at home. Her team was always available to offer suggestions on local attractions and helped me arrange transportation. I cannot recommend Valentina's place highly enough. If you're looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience in Watamu, this is the place to be. Thank you, Valentina, for your exceptional hospitality!
