Randu welcomed us with a run down of how everything works, showed us the house and helped us sign in. It was very professional and felt very warm. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a great to have and our stay could not have been better. Thanks so much to Randu and his team!

Stunning Sunny Villa Overlooking Mida Creek

NickRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had a FANTASTIC time at Catherine's place. The house is beautiful, open, airy and comfortable. The layout of the living space and the pool is perfect for long days of hanging out. The location and access to the creek via the private boardwalk is unique. Finally, the staff were amazing. Henry's food was fantastic and he was so easy to work with. We would highly recommend Catherine's place and hope to come back another time soon!

JohannesRating, 5 stars11 months ago
We had a great stay at Micio House. Michela and Rooney are great hosts and very friendly and so are the staff. The compound is a little oasis with a beautiful terrace, pool and garden with lots of trees and bushes. I highly recommend staying here if you're coming to watamu as a small group or couple.

SUNSET PARADISE HOLIDAY HOMES KINSHASA 8

LilyRating, 5 stars11 months ago
The place was exactly how it looked in the pictures the host was quick to answer all the questions we had which made the stay so easy and made us feek at home. The house accommodated our big family of 7 adults and 2 kids which was convinient to us. The house is cleaned everyday by a house keeper and linen changed every second day. It has a shared swimming pool that is very clean and was cleaned everyday. There is an option of walking to the beach which is a 10 min walk. I give the place and the host a 5 star and felt like it was worth every penny I paid..I would forever make Sunset paradise my home every time I am in Mombasa.
