BEACH LUXURY APARTMENT

SarahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We were a family of four with two children ages 9 and 7 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in watamu. My children didn’t want to leave the pool and it was so convenient that it was right outside the veranda. The location is perfect. Right on the beach but so close to walking to lots of restaurants, shopping, etc. you can walk down the beach to hire a boat for a ride to snorkel and dolphin watch, you can walk out to the islands at low tide. We hired Joffit, a local chef at Federica’s recommendation , to prepare breakfast and lunches and do shopping. Would highly recommend to anyone else. It made the stay very relaxing. The flat was perfect for our family. Extremely clean, spacious and we appreciated the minimalist decor. We didn’t notice any loud noise like other reviewers mentioned. We could hear the waves at night. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Watamu.

It is a beautiful villa with a beautiful sea in front of you. The interior facilities and bedding are clean and well prepared. Everything matched the photos provided, and I was worried that the living room would be small, but it was enough space for 5 people. I highly recommend it.

Seychelles Dream House P148A14

ScottRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We (2 adults and 1 child) had a great time at Chiara’s place in Eden Island. Chiara was great at communicating and coordinating our stay. Her home is exactly as described. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, in paradise. The place is ideally located to have same (or even better) amenities compared to hotels with the advantage of flexibility and affordability. You can choose to cook at home or a short walk or golf cart ride to the plaza area with lots of choices. Eden island also allows for ease to tour the island or catch a ferry over to the other nearby ones. We had an excellent stay and hope to come back again.

Gaza Apartments

JulianRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sidick is a really kind guy, who responds quickly and helpful to messages. Everything was really easy with him. The airbnb was really big, so you have lots of space and we had a nice garden. The location is perfect as it is 7 minutes away from the beautiful beaches and 5 minutes away from a large shopping mall. The small distance to the airport is also a great benefit so we were really happy with everything. Thanks a lot!

White House, beach cottage

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We lived our stay at the White House cottage. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return. We are a family of four and it was perfect. The staff was so warm and helpful. Definitely hire the local chef recommendation. We had delicious food in the convenience of our own veranda looking at the ocean. The location right on the beach with the private, expansive grounds was perfect. The house has incredible views and is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you have a big group, try to rent the White House next door and have an amazing holiday with family or friends.

Magical 4-bed staffed Watamu house with epic views

SharnaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

Riverside Holiday Home - 2

DanyalRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Rajesh's appartment has a beautiful view on the nearby river, you can even have a hint of the sunrise. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The appartment itself is quite convenient, with all amenities, and Rajesh and his wife were very kind to provide some drinks and foodstufs on our arrival. Probably one of the best options for a rental on the east coast.

Sunset Coast - Welcome to Paradise!

연욱Rating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
As shown in the picture, the swimming pool in front of the beach is wonderful. The waves on the beach in front of the accommodation are calm, making it great for children to play. It was especially great to take wonderful pictures on nice weather days. Although the cleaning service was insufficient because it was the Mauritius holiday, it was inevitable because it was a holiday. Instead, I enjoyed a very comfortable six-day vacation because the host always gave me kind and prompt notification. I am planning to visit Mauritius again in March next year, and I would like to stay here again. All of my family loved this accommodation so much.

Modern, spacious, Condo overlooking the sea

JacquelineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Maria’s apartment is obviously a property used by herself. It made our stay easy as apartment from putting food in the fridge everything was there. Three aircon units and fans. Large water containers provided. Comfortable beds and a lovely balcony up with the coconuts. The view of the sea and the reef is stunning. The gate from the premises gave us immediate access to the beach and within 350 yards at least 19 restaurants with lovely food. Maria also put us in touch with a local taxi driver who also supplied hire cars. We had a lovely economical 4 door auto for £20 per day. Couldn’t have been happier.

Patch by the Ocean, a 2 bed beach front apartment

ShamaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This place was not only beautifully furnished, clean and in a very secure and prime location! Everything you need is provided, well stacked kitchen, endless supply of towels, and if anything was missing Susan and Hamisa the wonderful housekeeper were there ready to support immediately! I can not praise them or this place enough! The location is perfect! It’s right on the beach front, surrounded by many fantastic restaurants, bars, and boats for trips! We saw dolphins on a trip and went on an elephant sighting! It was magical! At the end of the day, it is peaceful and quiet to have a good night sleep and start the adventures again! I highly recommend Susan’s beautiful flat and will definitely be visiting again! I’ve already shared it with several friends, who I am sure will visit soon! Thank you so much Susan and Hamisa, you both are super kind and attentive and we appreciate your support throughout our stay! 🤍

We spent 1 week in this very pleasant accommodation with all the necessary amenities. The balcony with sea views is a real plus. It's a festival of colors at sunrise and sunset. Access to shops and restaurants is very easy. A parking space is available . The place is quiet. The beaches are within walking distance. The 2 bathrooms and the configuration of the apartment allow a very comfortable stay for 4. In conclusion, an experience to be had! And even to relive!
