4.96 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsYour Tropical Oasis with Your Own Private Pool
We enjoyed staying at Jeremy and Laura’s place. Despite the weather being hot, we enjoyed our sleep every night because each room had A/C and a fan. Daniel the caretaker was so sweet and he would clean the pool every morning. We enjoyed coming back after a long hot day and jumping in the private beautiful pool surrounded by palm trees. Jeremy was quick to answer any questions and address any issues. Comfy stay for a great price!

5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviewsPalm House Villa in Malindi, private, near beach
Stayed with family including 5 kids under 11 years. We had a wonderful time! The pictures truly don't do the house justice. The kids (and adults too!) spent most of the time in the pool. The beach is a 5 mins walk away where we got excursions to Malindi marine park. But what made this stay so enjoyable for us was the staff (Phillip, Janet, Eric and James) who really made us feel welcome and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic property. Lots of space for our group. Lovely pool and great social areas, including a great garden bar. Staff were friendly; helpful but discreet. The pool table wasn’t available unfortunately, but we had lots to do. 5 minutes walk to the beach but need to drive into the town. Would definitely use this place again.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews3 Bedroom Watamu Home with Private Beach Access
100% one of the best (maybe the best) houses Ive stayed in on the coast in Kenya. Our group of 6 had a fantastic weekend at Suz’s house - the space (including the pool) was absolutely spotless and beautifully kept with lots of extra details like reusable water bottles in the fridge that were always full. We were an easy walk to the beach, but the house itself was so comfortable it made it hard to leave. Having AC in the rooms was extra nice for sleeping at night! Antonina made our stay beyond comfortable at the house, and Karisa the chef made some of the best meals we’ve had on the coast. All in all a magical stay and we would come back in a heartbeat.

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 93 reviewsMagical 4-bed staffed Watamu house with epic views
My wife, I and our three children had a great holiday here. The house is located in a picturesque village surrounded by coconut palms. One of the most beautiful beaches in Kenya is about a 10-minute drive away. We had our own car, so it was not difficult for us to get there, but if you do not have transport, you can always use a tuk-tuk or a motorbike taxi. The beach is beautiful! Next to the house is an ocean bay with mangrove trees. We were very pleased that the house has two excellent SUP boards! At high tide you can ride them through the mangrove forest and it is very, very beautiful! But take shoes with you because there are sharp shells at the bottom. Nice people work in the house. Chef Joseph cooked well and was very kind. Thank him very much! We were lucky with the weather, it was not stuffy at all, so we never used the fans at night. Thanks to the owner of the house Tom and his team for good memories!

This is a lovely house on the beach just next to Treehouse Watamu. The location is excellent, the staff very friendly, and the house has lots of spots to relax and hangout. It also has a nice pool, good mosquito nets and lots of fans. The ocean is a 3 minute walk and this particular stretch of beach is peaceful, empty and hassle free. The house has two good sized double rooms with a bunkbed (double down, single up) in a small corridor. It fit our family of five perfectly. Will definitely be back.

Wow! We loved our stay. The house is beautiful and open, verandas looking out to the ocean, nice pool, very clean and comfortable. Out the gardens gate and you are essentially right at a fantastic beach - great to explore and wade at low tide, great swimming at high tide, and white sand always. The chef made us a range of delicious dishes (seafood at our request) and everyone was extremely hospitable and helpful. Highly recommend.

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsManasha Apartment Watamu
Aisha’s stay was absolutely lovely! The house was amazing and within walking distance of the beach, and a footstep away from a tuktuk depot which is the main transport in Watamu. The pool was absolutely amazing and wonderful to relax in after a hot day. The rooms were lovely and air conditioned, and the kitchen spacious. Aisha and Santiago were helpful and kind, and were never far away. I highly recommend this stay, and I’ll definitely be back again!

Very quiet, peaceful, private. Pool is shared but very rarely used by just 5(?) other apartments. Ocean with sandy beach just a few meters away. Ocean view from this ground floor apartment is partly blocked by wall but still visible. Kitchen better equipped than most places, Hostess is eager to be helpful.

Alessandro's apartment is very well designed! We found the place beautiful, homely and cosy. Proximity to the beach is a plus, and the pool and garden are very well maintained. The apartment block is conveniently located next to restaurants,bars and the best gelato in Watamu. Definitely a great place to enjoy your vacay!

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviewsBeautiful apt. by the beach with swimming pool
The house is clean, the host is responsive, and the surroundings are beautiful. I didn't use the pool, but it looked clean. I can't forget to mention that the master bedroom bed was very comfy, the place is quiet, and we slept in till 9am during our stay. Lucy is one of those hosts who didn't ask for an extra fee if you used AC. I would rebook when I visit Malindi next time.

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviewsCactus Apartment - Gecko Resort
Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The resort's location on Garoda Beach, arguably the most beautiful beach in Watamu, is fantastic. We appreciated the convenience of being right by the beach, with easy access to the resort's sunbeds and pools. Additionally, it was nice to be within walking distance of places we enjoy (LichtHaus, the gym at Temple Point, and Kobe restaurant) We had the opportunity to stay in both the double room and the Cactus apartment. While we thoroughly enjoyed the Cactus apartment, the double room could get some improvements (real double bed and not twin beds put together for ie and some refreshments in the decoration).

Absolutely fabulous place. I would highly recommend it. Rachel had clear instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and has everything you need. There is so much to do in the area, Malindi is a lovely place to visit. Musa was very helpful and showed us around making sure we got everything we needed. Thank you for having us.

Milkah's place was a great beautiful and clean house. She allowed an early check-in. She provided soap and complimentary water ++ for the Malindi heat. She was always available on call and very responsive. We enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend her house.
