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!

Sweet House - Villa & Tropycal Garden
Really enjoyed my stay. Gianni was very clear in his instructions and everything was set up just as we had asked for. Kashuru, the groundskeeper, is a great guy and very friendly. I also recommend you use Morris the Chef. An extra 1500 Kshs/day but his food is delicious and you can easily get groceries.

Ahadi Beachfront Villa with pool and beach access
The house is amazing and the setting is wonderful. They also provided us with the contact to hire a cook who was great and a driver to get around the area. I recommend it 100%.

The White House 3
This is our second year staying at White House in Watamu and we will go back again next time we visit. It is a great location on part of the Watamu beach that we think is the best. It is easy to walk out of the gate and you are on the beach in 1 minute. The house is wonderful with enough fans that even on the hottest days you are able to keep cool. We like the fact that it is across from the Kobe Resort so you can go over and grab a drink or food plus there is always enough transportation nearby to run into town. The staff are wonderful and keep the house clean and are helpful if you need anything. The chef makes fantastic meals and we ate in most of the time as he can just order fish, shrip, lobster, crab right to the house. Overall a wonderful experience and we look forward to going back again next time we are in Watamu.

Elegant and exclusive just a few steps from the sea
We had a wonderful stay at Daniele's house. The house, the staff, everything was great. Thanks!

Palm Villa @ Red House
beautiful place and very helpful host! would love to come back

Elena House Luxury Family Holiday Coastal Villa
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elena House. Kevin was super helpful, easy to contact and very quick in his responses. He also had plenty of very helpful tips about the area, things to do, contacts etc. The house and the pool were wonderful. Perfect for a big group and ac in every bedroom. The staff were extremely friendly and assisted us with everything we needed. The beach is just a short walk away and there are lovely restaurants a TukTuk trip down the road. We also recommend a boat tour to the beautiful sand islands. Highly recommended place!

5 bedroom Beach front maridadi villa
Can't wait to come back! The photos of this place doesn't do it justice, it's beautiful. If you are looking for a peaceful place, private beach without beach boys, spacious etc..this is the place to be. Thank you to Goldermeer for helping us get a chef (Samson) who made delicious meals for our entire stay. Special thanks to Celina (House keeper) who became part of our family. She made sure that all the spaces were spotless. We had a blast!

Baraka House, Beautiful Watamu beachfront location
Absolutely incredible villa, everything went above and beyond what we could have wanted. Fantastic location with incredible views of the beach and the sunset from the roof. Everything is spacious, clean and we felt very at home and in our own private oasis. Joseph, Dixon, Moses, Robert and the team were such a delight and always on hand whenever we needed and we were so grateful for everything they did to enhance our experience. Couldn’t recommend this villa more

Beach Front Villa - Watamu
Thank you Antonio and Yasmine for a lovely stay in Watamu. The staff in both villas made us feel completely at home. Chef Evans continued to impress us with his delicious meals, Maggie, Andrew and the staff in the 2nd Villa were all amazing. We would recommend AC units in the main villa as the rooms would get hot at night. The other villa has nice cool rooms because they had ACs in each room. Overall, a fantastic stay - great food, great location, great rooms and great fun in the swimming pools - day and night. Thank you for your hospitality.

Pota Pota House , Malindi
The best bang for buck on Airbnb! The pictures don’t do the property justice… What a beautiful villa!! The team at the house was excellent, highly recommend staying here!

Maison Nakheel BoFa
We spent a whole month at Saleem's villa, and it was incredible. The property has a huge pool, and it’s right by the sea. The views are stunning, and the beach is usually so quiet, it feels almost private. One thing that really stood out was how peaceful it was. Just sitting outside, listening to the waves and birds, added to the tranquil vibe of the place. The villa is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen. It also has a beautiful garden, maintained by gardeners. Moses, who took care of the villa, ensured it was always clean, which we really appreciated. Saleem was a great host, he was easy to communicate with and even installed mosquito doors for us before we arrived. It was a thoughtful gesture. He also arranged our airport transfers, which was super helpful. Photos and description don’t do this place justice. It’s even more beautiful in person. If you’re looking for a quiet and private getaway, we can’t recommend this spot enough. It felt like our own little piece of paradise.

Araliya House -Stunning Ocean Facing Villa
Amazing stay! Gorgeous spot on the ocean with lovely grounds. The pool was large and great for relaxing. There were trees and flowers, all beautiful and nicely taken care of. The staff was more than accommodating and the chef was AMAZING. Loved our stay.

The White Villa By The Sea with Swimming Pool
Rispa is such a good host. Her staff are also such lovely people. Paul gave us directions to the place and took care of us while we were there. Emmanuel, the chef, and the cleaning lady were also lovely. The place is truly the white villa. It is so clean and spacious. It is private, and Paul also helped us organise logistics wherever we decided to move. 10/10 would recommend.

Bahati Beach Retreat
Excellent house for big family or group or friends. Really kids friendly. Big pool and right to the beach. The Chef can do better but he was willing to learn.

Villa Furaha Makuti, 3 ensuite bedrooms with pool
The Makuti house is a beautiful, spacious house where I felt right at home. It is located on a screened, guarded area with some houses and a very nice swimming pool right next to the house. In the neighborhood there are shops for food, clothes, but also beautiful African fabrics. A little further away but easily accessible interesting places to visit. A beach is 1 km away. So a very nice place to use as a base.

Serene 3Bedroom Villa with Pool & Close to Beach.
Beautiful villa, very clean, good internet. Friendly warm and welcoming host. Great team on the ground, very responsive and accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Beautiful and clean pool. Lovely garden. Good kitchen amenities. Lovely place. Love, love, love it. Thank you.

Entire villa pool garden kitchens near amazing sea
We spent 2 amazing nights at Giulia’s House. Marica and Justin were so nice, helpful and friendly. They helped us a lot in many ways. Lovely villa indeed with cozy rooms, clean and large bathrooms and beautiful swimming pool & terraces. Highly recommend!

Private beautiful Villa with 4 Rooms + Pool
Thank you to Carlos, Fasber, and Dominic – it was an awesome stay! The place is quiet, very beautiful, and perfect for relaxing. The pool was also fantastic. Dominic took very good care of everything – he’s really thoughtful and makes sure the guests feel comfortable. I can highly recommend it and would definitely come back to unwind again.

wonderful villa with service staff, pool and park
Thank you Daniel and all the Baobab Village Team for our stay. Baobab Village is situated few minutes walk from the beach and a few minutes of TukTuk from Watamu center city, House was nice and clean, the swimming pool was huge and very well maintained. The chef Eric was amazing, and all the Team was welcoming and friendly. Definitly recommand !

Stay at Casa Bella. Romantic villa with pool views
Debra’s place was exactly as depicted in the photos, and the accurate maps made arrival hassle-free. The space itself is lovely, featuring a kitchen equipped with everything you might need. Jasmine, who manages the property daily, was absolutely charming. The shared swimming pool is stunning and conveniently located just steps from the house. Generally felt secure even walking back to the residence in the night. The beach, easily accessible via Marine Park Road, is just a short walk away. One minor note: While the pool’s easy accessibility was a plus, it posed a slight challenge with my 2-year-old daughter—temporary safety barriers could enhance the experience for families with young children. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend Debra’s place as the go-to choice for anyone visiting Malindi.

Villa Vittoria, private villa with pool and chef
It was a perfect stay in all its aspects. The house is beautiful, a short walk from the sea and Mida Creek. Jackson the cook is really great. Excellent cleanliness. Highly recommended, we hope to be back soon.

Luxury 5 bedroom Villa with pool, bbq & Bar
We had such a wonderful time — your stunning villa was absolutely perfect for us. It was spacious, kid-friendly, and in a fantastic location. Your staff was incredibly professional and helpful throughout our stay. The pool was definitely my favorite spot, but what truly stood out was the fact that the water in your villa is salt-free — such a rare and refreshing feature on the Coast! Thank you again Olivier’s for your outstanding hospitality, excellent communication, and top-notch customer service. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
