Beach Villa in CoralKey (Pool)

Leila MRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The place is absolutely stunning—far more magnificent than what the images show. It was such a beautiful surprise! I would strongly recommend this location to anyone looking for a getaway. It’s very family-friendly, making it an ideal destination for families. The host was incredibly responsive and always available to communicate whenever needed. Gladys and Freddy were both very supportive and helpful. My family had an amazing time, and we’ll cherish the memories we made here. Thank you Antonio♥️

Beach Apartment - Watamu

NekesaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay, it's a cute and restful space. I'd read the reviews earlier so knew to bring kitchen supplies with me; if you intend to cook, please do so, the kitchen has very basic amenities. Otherwise the space is lovely, within walking distance to the beach and restaurants, clean pool, clean space, friendly and helpful staff. If you're driving, please note there's no parking inside so plan for that as well; overall lovely stay, would recommend!

Antonio and the team were fantastic - I had a great stay, too short, but even for a quick visit, this was the perfect place to stay in Watamu.

Paradise Haven Mambrui/Malindi

SophiaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Moe’s place is exactly what we were looking for during our trip, a place just steps from the beach, sleeping to the beautiful sounds of the ocean. The swimming pools are another highlight, warm, salty and very clean water. The house is very cosy, beds are comdortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Even though the showers have no hot water, you definitely do not need the hot water as it is very hot weather. Amina came everyday to help clean up and was extremely friendly. John was also very accommodating with an earlier check in. The whole neighbourhood is just beautiful. If you are looking for a beachside house, this is for you, do not hesitate.
An outdoor terrace features a dining table surrounded by wooden chairs, with coastal views of the ocean. Sun loungers are positioned nearby on a stone floor, while a circular rug adds texture to the space. The clear blue sky complements the tranquil waters in the distance.

The Beach House, Malindi, On the Ocean 4BR, 3.5BA

CraigRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This is our 5th visit to The Beach House. We keep coming back for a bunch of reasons. Rehema, Ali and the rest of the staff are the best. The location right on the water with perfect views is unbeatable. Communication with Rory is consistently great. The top porch is some of my favorite square footage on the planet. And … have I mentioned how terrific Rehema is?

Nyumba Ya Madau - Stunning Beach Villa in Watamu

EleanorRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an AMAZING time. The house is right on the beach with private access and a nice sized garden space. The house itself was really homely and had everything we needed without being over fussy. We all loved the snorkelling and beach vibe and the kids loved the small pool on the veranda. The staff were great and so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this house.

Shell House, Watamu, Apartment & beach & garden

AnnaRating, 5 stars11 months ago
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!!
A wooden tray with heart-shaped cutouts is positioned on a table, offering a view of the ocean beyond. Palm trees frame the scene, and light filters through sheer curtains, creating a bright and inviting space.

Malindi Home with a View

AdemolaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Enjoyed my stay. Linda was a really helpful host and so was the house keeper -Jemimah. Linda's apartment and balcony was amazing which I liked. However, the exterior looked like it needed a lot of touch probably due to the renovations ongoing in some part of the complex. In all, I'll stay there again and hope the complex is finished before my next visit.

Bouganvillea Apartment - Gecko Resort

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is my 4th time staying at one of Denise's apartments in Gecko. Nice to have a mix of self catered apartment, but with the amenities of a resort. You also can't get a location better than this in Watamu. Highly recommended!

Desert Rose Apartment - Gecko Resort

AnitaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a prefect location for my family traveling with my elderly parents. Everyone was very helpful, the location is great and there is a wonderful mix of having the privacy of a two room self cater apartment but within a resort so that you have the best of both worlds including access to the swimming pools, restaurants and bars. Kitchen is basic but reasonably well appointed. A wonderful location and 5 minutes to the beach.
The image showcases a serene pool area surrounded by well-maintained gardens featuring vibrant flowers. Wooden lounge chairs are positioned near the pool, and a green umbrella offers shade. The apartment complex is visible in the background, with a curved terrace design enhancing the inviting atmosphere.
