BahatiHouse in Jua Resort
Our stay at Azzurra's place was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The apartment itself was charming, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making us feel right at home, and the location is so close to the Watamu Mall where you can find an ATM, supermarket, nice coffee shop, and means of transportation to go around. The pool area was like a private oasis beautifully landscaped, impeccably maintained, and just the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. Whether we were lounging poolside with a good book or taking a leisurely swim under the sun, every moment spent here felt like pure bliss Furthermore, Azzurra went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a cozy, centrally located retreat with thoughtful touches and a gracious host, look no further this is the place for you! We can't wait to return. Thank you Azzura

Villa Samawati - Rafiki Village
It was definitely a great deal! The host and their assistant was perfect! We had a great stay. The grounds were awesome. They even let us check in early and check out late for just a small fee. It was very helpful being that we had to check out of an Airbnb quite close to there and there would’ve been a large gap where we would’ve had to sit someplace with our luggage. And then we have a flight late in the evening on the day we checked out once again we would’ve had to deal with our luggage all day long somewhere. We cooked in the kitchen, ordered food delivered, tuk tuk drivers were easy to get to come out there. And we were very close to town! The grounds were impeccably kept with great security. I definitely stay here again.

Christian House - Milele Resort
Posizione fantastica e complesso residenziale a dir poco stupendo penso che la prossima volta ci resterò per due mesi. Super consigliato! Asante sana ! ❤️

Spacious 2bedroom residential home
We really enjoyed our stay at Sylvia's place. The place is family-friendly and my kids were all over the place especially on the outside balcony porch. The house keeper came in every two days to tidy up. The place is quiet and very safe and peaceful. The place matched her description and the provided photos. The proximity of the place to the beach is a good thing. The only dissatisfaction was the bathroom door had not been repaired when we checked in and during our stay,and it brought some inconveniences. Also, there are no shops /supermarkets around the place. I recommend this place to anyone.Thank you for hosting us. We look forward to our next visit.

Lakeside House with swimming pool in Watamu, Kenya
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. 😊

Dar Jamaa calme et lumineuse avec chef cuisinier
This was my second time staying at this villa, and it was just as amazing as the first—if not better! I came with a group of friends for my bachelorette trip (first time for most of them), and the experience was unforgettable. The staff truly made our stay special. William, the chef, was incredible—he made sure we were always well-fed, worked around our timings, and even helped with our daily shopping needs. Mercy and Tatu kept the villa spotless and were so sweet, even making us some chips one afternoon when we had a craving! Vincent ensured the pool was always clean and helped out with anything we needed. Our hosts, Philippe and Soltana, were so accommodating and warm. Even though the villa is for 8 and we were 9, they helped us with extra arrangements and were genuinely excited for our girls trip. They checked in often and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this villa if you’re looking for a relaxing, well-catered, and welcoming stay. I’ll definitely be back!

Bulloch House Kilifi
We very much enjoyed Bulloch House. It worked well for two families with plenty of space. Dominique and the team looked after us well and produced good meals. The pool was beautifully clean and the main seating area very comfortable. We also enjoyed using the bar area. A great house for a family holiday.

Your Tropical Oasis with Your Own Private Pool
In the heat of Watamu, the garden is a jewel and the pool in the middle is a must! We really enjoyed our stay at Jeremy and Laura's cottage with our 2 little ones (6 months and 2 years). The house itself is vintage with optional air conditioned at night. It can be really hot during the day so the pool is just a perfect option to refresh yourselves (it's shaded until 11am and from 4pm). Daniel, the house manager, was always willing to help and discreet, though he is working around the house on the plot all day from 8 to 5pm. He was even in capacity to help us find a young lady to supervise our babies so that we could enjoy our evenings out. Apart from the pool and the sublime garden, one other great added values of the cottage is definitely its location (very central) as there are many very good restaurant options at tuktuk distance - Jeremy shall share lots of tips prior to your arrival! I think we tried all of them ;)

Elegant & Classy 3-bedroom house, gated own compound with free parking on premises
Very clean house, peaceful neighborhood with good security. Babra was friendly, flexible with check in and check out time, and responded to messages within very short time. I Was there for very short time but enjoyed the stay. Will recommend 💯.

Guest house for rent 500 metres from Serena Beach
Alice is an amazing and caring host. She guided us on amenities to visit and even gave us a free ride to the Serena public beach, which was great, and even recommended other places of interest. Please book your stay with her when you visit Mombasa. I also loved the fact there were functional and reliable air conditioners in both bedrooms.

4-bedroom Oasis with Pools and Garden.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Mutindi house. It was clean, the staff was great and Sandra did a great job communicating throughout our stay. Would definitely go back again!

GK Palms - 2 Bedroom Apartment
We had a wonderful experience at Geoffrey's Airbnb. The location is perfect-centrally situated, making it incredibly easy to access all the places we planned to visit in Watamu. Check-in was a breeze, and Geoffrey was an excellent host, always avallable to help and quick to respond to any questions we had. The added perks of the on-site restaurant and pool made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxed and convenient trip!

Villa Carolina - Nimo House
Me and my family had a great stay, Caroline property is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be back again, we felt right at home.

swift haven studio Bamburi
A very beautiful place and a great host to match . The caretaker was phenomenal and very very helpful. Definitely going back there some time.

Bella Azzurra 1: apartment max 6 guests. Casuarina
Farida's place is amazing! This will be my new go-to place in Malindi. It's very beautiful, the grounds have the most beautiful flowers and the pool is lovely. Everything was perfect about this place including the fact that it's a 2 minute walk to the beach. The most amazing part of the trip was the absolute fabulous chef Patrick and the housekeeper Kanze. They spoilt us and we loved it! We look forward to coming back.

Zambarau - Luxury Coastal Home with Terrace
I would strongly recommend staying at Violet's Airbnb, and will look to do so again when back in Kilifi. It is spacious, well-decorated, and clean.

Palm House Villa in Malindi, private, near beach
Stayed with family including 5 kids under 11 years. We had a wonderful time! The pictures truly don't do the house justice. The kids (and adults too!) spent most of the time in the pool. The beach is a 5 mins walk away where we got excursions to Malindi marine park. But what made this stay so enjoyable for us was the staff (Phillip, Janet, Eric and James) who really made us feel welcome and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Highly recommend staying here!

Ginger House Rafiki Tamu Resort
Daniele's place was a wonderful and memorable experience for us. The staff members are super friendly, thumbs up to the security guard ;Tete and Michael. The cleaners Jacky and Amina, they are very friendly and helpful. Daniele's place was very clean and free of clutter. Many places to have activities and are all so close to each other. We will definitely come.

Serene and Tranquil - Simba Cottage
Sajid’s place is a very quiet chilled spot - it’s 2 or 3 cottages around a pool in a beautiful green garden, about 5 mins walk to the beach. Sajid was super helpful as was the caretaker John who was always on hand to help get a tuk tuk etc. Safari’s cooking was also really really good but you need to discuss with Sajid the arrangements and whether he will cook 1-3 meals per day etc. Overall, a great spot to enjoy Kilifi from.

Family beach house, birder's paradise.
Our stay at Villa Mkauju was absolutely fantastic! The villa is stunning, offering tranquility and comfort. A big thank you to the wonderful staff who were incredibly attentive and made us feel at home. Special thanks to the owner for maintaining such a beautiful property. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in Malindi. Can't wait to return!

Mich House
Wir hatten einen guten Aufenthalt in Prudence's Haus. Es ist ein modernes, neues, schönes Haus. Der Pool ist auch für Nachtschwimmer geeignet. Es ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Mit dem Tuk tuk ist man schnell im Zentrum von Malindi.

Villa Kivulini - Vipingo Beach
We had a lovely stay at Kivulini house! It is very spacious house with bright airy feel and we were all very comfortable. The swimming pool was very clean and looked after daily. It overlooks the beach with awesome views. Access to the beach is a 2 min walk. The beach is really nice for the kids to play in low tide and we all also enjoyed riding the waves in the high tide! John and the staff are very friendly and looked after us very well throughout our stay! All the rooms have air conditioning. All in all, I would recommend Kivulini house to families looking to spend quality time together and make memorable memories! Thank you to Jasmine, John and team and we hope to return soon!

Zahari House (Dhow house)
We had a wonderful holiday at Dhow House. A great location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Kids loved the pool and using the top deck for meals was also special! Thanks
