Studio with Pool Facing Balcony/Beach Access/Wifi.
This house is truly charming and unique! It’s very close to the beach, and its architecture really reminds me of Italian homes, I think it might have even been built by Italians. There’s a cute little terrace that’s perfect for relaxing, and the garden is full of trees and flowers, with a lovely swimming pool that gives off real vacation vibes. The kitchen and laundry facilities are also well-equipped, making it a comfortable place to stay for a few days. Overall, it’s a cozy and beautiful spot for a relaxing getaway.

Tembo Beach Cottage in Resort
Wonderful host, nice place that Linda has there. The housekeeper Mary was quite helpful. We had a delay with our transport so Linda extended our check out time which was commendable. She's a good host. Will for sure visit again.

Coral Breeze
Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohlgefühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der tolle Pool, den wir gerne genutzt haben. Die Kommunikation mit JC & Sol war sehr einfach, es wurde jederzeit auf Anfragen prompt reagiert. Die Wohnung ist sauber und sehr ansprechend, besonders die Terrasse hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Alles prima!

Beachside flat with Pool Access
Asia's place is perfect. Worth the price. Not far from Malindi international airport which is veryy convenient. Its also quite easy to find transport to wherever place you want to go. There are nearby restaurants with clean, good and fresh food for those lazy to cook, like me 🤣. The studio has a very nice view and a clean and well maintained swimming pool. It has beachfront access. Vasco da gama pillar, the portuguese chapel, very famous tourist sites, are literally walking distance from the place. Yohh, this place is a 5 star . Waayy worth the price and Asia is also perfect and very responsive and a kind person🤍. Will definitely recommend the place to others and whenever I want to visit Malindi/Watamu I will consider the place.

Frangipani Penthouse @ Ghepard Exclusive Residence
We had an exceptional time at Karina’s. This place is absolutely stunning and very comfortable, safe and secure. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury at a good price. Housekeeping came every day and they were very thorough and the security was amazing. Such a magical piece of paradise and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you 😊

Beachfront Condo with Pool
First impression was a-bit disappointing as the apartment building is under construction or renovation, however on getting inside the house it was a totally different story. The unit is worth the money and potentially worth more so if you are thinking about it jump on the offer as prices might get high when the surroundings match up. Linda was a wonderful host and sorted any of the small issues we might have had during our stay. There was a caretaker always within the vicinity who responded swiftly in person. I would stay here again. I highly recommend!

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

Presitige Holiday Villa
A beautiful place. Had wonderful time with my family. The place was clean and spacious. Zawadi the caretaker was lovely. Would recommend this place. Perfect for family.

3 Bedroom Watamu Home with Private Beach Access
We had a fantastic stay at Mwanana House! Of all the places we've stayed in Kenya (there are many), the team at the house were the best. We were so well looked after - Antonina catered after our every whim without being asked and preempting our every need, Karisa cooked us the best meals every day, and Katana kept the pool and garden beautifully clean. This team thought of everything with incredible attention to detail and with great patience around small kids. Thank you so much

MojMir Beach Apartment
very cosy place, nice balcony and all necessary amenities fulfilled. the security guards are helpful with any transportation needs and all communication with the host was smooth as. Overall had a great stay! Thanks.

3bedroom Villa on Malindi beach
Very nice and comfortable.

Family friendly 4-bedroom holiday home with pool
Lovely house, great pool, attentive but unobtrusive staff including a great chef. You need some reliable Tuk Tuk drivers to get to the beach and other places but you wouldn’t get a place of this quality/price by the beach. Both our families had an incredible stay at Watamu.

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Lieber Norbert, vielen herzlichen Dank für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt in deinem Airbnb in Watamu! Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefühlt – die Unterkunft war perfekt, super gepflegt und mit so viel Liebe eingerichtet. Auch die Lage war traumhaft! Deine Assistentin Helen war sehr zuverlässig und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen wieder!

Manasha Apartment Watamu
We stayed at Aisha's place with my family. The appartement was clean, cosy, comfortable, with air-conditioning in both rooms and a lovely shared swimming pool in the compound. Our hosts were friendly and attentive and gave us a lot of suggestions about what to do in the surrounding area. We will be definitely coming back, it was great value for money!

Malindi Beachfront Escape, 10 min from Airport
We had great time. Very convenient to reach the tourist attractions and restaurants. The host was super and responded promptly.

Spectacular Ocean View Penthouse in Malindi
Very gracious host. Huge lovely place, close to beach and restaurants.

Stunning beach front apartment
This charming and well appointed apartment features two comfortable and sizable bedrooms and bathrooms (main ensuite), a well equipped kitchen and elegantly furnished living room. The highlight is the spacious balcony offering stunning vistas of the bay and ocean. Besides having access to the pool, the apartment is located just a few meters from the beach and several nice restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Service and communication with the host were excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.

Shell House, Watamu, Apartment & beach & garden
My parents and I had an absolutely lovely time at Shell House. Kevin, the chef, was amazing, and Mercy, the housekeeper, was very sweet. Helga was extremely communicative throughout, even being a great help during a check-in at 4AM online, as well as giving tons of recommendations. The location is lovely - it's a bit off from the rest of Watamu but connected to a beach with some small bars. One thing to know is that it's not the best ocean swimming spot as there are lots of blowfish and sea urchins and it's shallow. But the lovely salt-water pool made up for it! There's a generator in the property so power always comes back on quickly and the Wifi worked very well. Overall, we had a fantastic time. Thank you!!

Beautiful apt. by the beach with swimming pool
We had a great stay at Lucy’s place. Check-in was smooth and on time, and the place was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was amazing, and we were able to use it every day. The air conditioner kept us comfortable, and having a washing machine and iron was really helpful, especially with the clothes we brought. A cleaner came in regularly, which kept everything tidy. Getting to the main amenities and nearby cities was easy, and tuk-tuks were readily available to pick us up whenever needed. Overall, everything went smoothly, and I would highly recommend staying at Lucy’s place!

Cactus Apartment - Gecko Resort
We had a pleasant stay. Lots of amenities associated with the Gecko resort. Good restaurants not far away. Tribe Water Sports on the beach. Great Kite Boarding. Two big pools. Nightly entertainment. Daily cleaning.

Patch by the Ocean, a 2 bed beach front apartment
Susan’s place is a true gem. The beds were comfortable, always hot water and power, well equipped kitchen and a gorgeous pool and patio. Even niceties I dint expect like security cameras, house cleaning and a quality washing machine. You have all you need to live there autonomously. Next door is a great pizza place w vegan pizza and cocktails! Notes for families: the beach that is directly outside of Susan’s compound is not family friendly nor good for swimming (trash and khat chewers). But the cleaner swim able beach is just a 8 min Tuk Tuk ride away. Worth the distance to have such a gorgeous condo! The pool was shallow enough for my 5 yo to stand w her head above water but a short child or a younger child couldn’t stand. There is no “kiddie pool”
