Vacation rentals in Funzi Island

Lucia's place was an amazing stay for my friends and I. We had the pleasure of renting out all the villa's on Lucia's property which was ideal for a large group such as ourselves. So please consider this location for both small or large groups as the place can easily accommodate both options. The villas are in a nice location with easy access to a beach which is a few metres away on foot. It was easy to find the location on Google Maps and through the pin shared by Lucia and her team. There are also a couple of restaurants and cafes in the area if you would like to venture out and explore. Lucia has maintained the villas very well, keeping them spotless clean, tidy and well fitted with accessories such as portable fans, day beds, lounge pillows, daybeds, extra towels etc. She has a great team of staff who were courteous, extremely helpful , well mannered and happy. We also noted that Lucia was hands on and in some cases worked alongside her team completing chores. Lucia lives close to the property and occasionally popped in to check on us but still provided us with privacy to enjoy our holiday. She was also kind enough to give us a New Year's gift which was nice touch. Lucia had a team of chefs available as part of the stay and they made us some amazing meals. The breakfast options were tasty and non-monotonous. I also highly recommend having the chefs make you some Seafood as they made us some of the most tasty seafood we've ever had. The place is also very secure. There was a guard available who would reconfirm with us any visitors before letting them in and there is also a lockable garage area if you come with a car. Overall, our stay was great. We had a lot of fun, the place was clean and the staff were always at hand to help us with anything we asked for such as booking massage sessions at the villas, covid testing, taxis etc. I highly recommend the place as you can feel Lucia's personal which makes the place feel like a home away from home.

Great apartment, about 3 mins walk from the beach. Fully equipped with everything you need to feel at home.

Perfect vacation home for 6 people. Bedrooms had comfortable beds and great AC! Lots of space to spread out. Nice being in the resort for the service options. Great location near the beach! Patience was very responsive if we needed anything.

We had a great stay at nature’s villa! The villa is a bit far off the main road down dirt roads but we had hired a car so it wasn’t a problem and when we used taxis and tuk tuks they had no problem finding the villa. As it’s further off the main road it does mean it’s much more peaceful when you’re there! House is great, pool and outdoor space is great and we especially loved having Max the very friendly German shepherd there, my kids wanted to take him home!!! James the house caretaker is very friendly and helpful and always smiling!

The home was easy to get to turn right immediately after Bahari Dhow on to the cabro road. The pin on the page takes you elsewhere. Bit once you get there the staff are very friendly, responsive and helpful. Check-in was quick and easy. The home is breezy, clean and feels very homely. The pool is very clean. The chef gave us a shopping list based on our menu choice and was flexible throughout. Shamila herself was also available on chat and very responsive even though she was not in the country. There are fans ans ACs in every room. The beach is practically 2 minutes walk from her gate. Just the usual vendors trying to sell you stuff. I will def be back.

Our family had an exceptional stay at Paul’s beautiful home. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the serene setting and expansive, well-appointed spaces. The house was immaculately maintained, with Grace, the housekeeper, ensuring everything was spotless throughout our stay. On Paul’s recommendation, we hired a private chef whose delicious meals elevated the entire experience and allowed us to fully unwind. The pool was pristine and perfect for relaxing, and the location offered both privacy and convenience. A truly luxurious retreat, we would absolutely love to return

Our experience at this Airbnb was largely positive, with a few points to note for future guests. The property itself was clean and well-maintained, with a lovely swimming pool at the rooftop and a serene environment. The housekeeping services were excellent, and the hosts stood out for their flexibility and attentiveness. They even adjusted the arrival time from 2 PM to 6 AM to accommodate our early arrival, which was a thoughtful gesture. Communication was seamless, and the regular check-ins to ensure our comfort added a personal touch to our stay. In terms of security, the hosts were proactive in sharing alerts, and we felt reassured by the measures they took. However, the surrounding area does require some caution, particularly during late night hours. While this didn’t significantly impact our stay, it’s worth keeping in mind for guests planning to explore the neighborhood after dark. Overall, the hosts provide excellent service and create a welcoming atmosphere.

I loved staying @ Taj Riviera. What a gem! The place is even better in real life. beautiful garden view, perfect pool setting, the living & sleeping areas well arranged and spacious. friendly staff to help you with any requests. I would suggest to bring your own pillows if you’re a fussy sleeper but everything else was perfect 👌 my kids and i had a wonderful time 🩵
