Stunning Beachfront Villa – near Mtwapa, Mombasa

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews2 months ago

We were a family of 5; 2 adults and 3 kids aged 14 year old, 5 year old and a 2 year old. Charlottes place was amazing. We loved everything! The staff at the house make sure you are comfortable. They cleaned everyday and we had clean towels daily. The guard Suleiman, is great to book excursions if you need, a very friendly man. We hired a chef called Katana, whom Charlotte recommended. His food was fantastic, delicious and nutritious. Just let him know your preference like swahili dishes, or other dishes and he will make it. We had him make Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Polly the manager, is at the site and she can help you if you have questions, she is very responsive and friendly. I recommend this place for families with small kids and teenagers. The pool is another gem in this house. Thank you Charlotte, we miss your house already ❤️

Sunny seaside studio

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 140 reviews1 month ago

Angela is great at communicating and very accommodating and helpful. A genuinely great host. The apartment is what I would define as the "perfect" size - not too large, not too small. The condition of everything is great. The location is excellent. You have a pool if you want to chill/do a bit of light swimming. There is a bar and restaurant on premises. You can walk directly out to the beach. There are multiple great restaurants within walking distance along the beach, which I would recommend over paying for a Bolt/Uber, which will take you longer and cost more than your feet, which are free. There are also camel rides, boat, fishing, water sports all available along the beach walking either north or south (easier to go south). I posted some drone photos on Google and provided them to Angela, they should give you a great idea of the apartment and location.

Neem Tree - waterfront villa on Marine Conservancy

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviews5 days ago

We had a wonderful 4 nights stay with family of 5. The owner responded quickly, send us very detailed information of all you need to know and arranged pick up at Mombasa airport. The staff is very friendly, helpful and at the same time gives you privacy. Reuben the chef provided us splendid meals, we especially enjoyed all the fresh seafood!Recommended is to do shopping before arrival because bigger supermarkets are 40 minutes drive away. Fruits, vegetables, water, fish, soda’s are easy to get in the village but for more luxurious groceries you have to go to the bigger supermarkets. You can book the pick up from the airport with a shopping stop in Nyali. Neen Tree is a lovely family house with marvellous view and direct access to the ocean. A friendly monkey family lives on the property and are fun to watch. Besides the pool we loved going snorkelling on the rif using the equipment from the house. For transport we used Tsuma with a comfortable 7 seater which we used for a Kilifi trip.

Doum Palm Villa Watamu

5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews1 week ago

We have fallen in love with Watamu, but most especially Doum Palm. We are truly so grateful to have found this beautiful house. We loved everything about it, our kids felt right at home, the walk to the beach was so easy which was great to go back and forth between the pool and sea everyday. A stunning spot, surrounded by beautiful trees, peaceful and quiet. Innocent, Maggie, Rehema & Dan are an absolute joy and made everything about our stay so easy. Innocents food was delicious, with small children, eating out isn’t always easy but we didn’t feel the need with the food that Innocent produced and always went out his way to find us the best fresh sea food! We would not hesitate to come back to Doum Palm and already planning a trip for next year! we look forward to recommending this quaint and peaceful spot to our friends and family. Thank you to the hosts for all the recommendations on places to go, taxis, Tuk Tuk etc. we made great use of it all. We can’t wait to come back!
