Vacation rentals in Watamu

A calm oasis with a great pool, in a shady & tranquil garden, while still being convenient to town amenities (walkable). Very kind, quiet & unobtrusive house manger Daniel present during the day. Clear communication with helpful & friendly host Jeremy. I recommend it!

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!

Thank you, fabulous house and location, very welcoming and efficient team running the house!! All the family appreciated their time in your house and home!!

As always, we had a great stay at Swordfish. The house is spacious and clean, the compound is very serene with a big swimming pool. The staff is very friendly! Highly recommend.

We had a super time at beautiful Manyana house in Watamu. It was a bit big for us since it was just the two of us. The staff were great. Anthonina, Katana and Lucky looked after us well. Short 3 minute walk to the beach. Great restaurants. Snorkelling was awesome as was watching dolphins. I would recommend Manyanna house highly.

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 house stood out for 2 reasons: 1. The value - it would be hard to match the quality of this house with other similar houses in Watamu. The service of the house staff was excellent and the house had everything you needed to accommodate a lovely vacation. The house is especially amenable to families with the layout of the bedrooms and an on-site swimming pool. 2. The location - this location is private and peaceful. Yes, you are not on the water, but multiple beaches are easily walkable. In sum, a lovely, clean and quiet place to stay in Watamu that is especially accommodating for families.

This is beautiful villa, perfect for families with children who seek some privacy, beach time, pool time and the pampering of the chef and the housekeeper! (Kids shall be safe swimmers as the pool is deep.) A total relaxing holiday! The beach is easy to reach, 15 min walk and for the return a tuk-tuk is always available. The beach is also fantastic, not too crowded, with super comfy sunbeds. Communication with the host was really easy and proactive, the housekeeper was able to help with anything we needed. Overall this was our best ever holiday experience!

Started of bumpy but Aisha was able to accommodate us in a different location - really friendly house manager, Kambo :)

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!

We had a great stay at Micio House. Michela and Rooney are great hosts and very friendly and so are the staff. The compound is a little oasis with a beautiful terrace, pool and garden with lots of trees and bushes. I highly recommend staying here if you're coming to watamu as a small group or couple.

We had a great trip to Watamu, the house was perfectly located and we felt very safe in the premises. The house was very convenient and were able to walk from place to place along the beach. Thanks for having us!

We had a wonderful experience at Geoffrey's Airbnb. The location is perfect-centrally situated, making it incredibly easy to access all the places we planned to visit in Watamu. Check-in was a breeze, and Geoffrey was an excellent host, always avallable to help and quick to respond to any questions we had. The added perks of the on-site restaurant and pool made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxed and convenient trip!

This was our second stay at this lovely spot in Watamu. Beautiful garden, pool and chill-out area. This is really great for groups and just a short walk away from the ocean, where there are a lot of restaurants and beach bars. But Thomas the chef is also amazing - we had so many delicious seafood and meat dishes throughout our stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!

The place was quiet and cosy we loved it. Ivor is an awesome host who checks on the guest and the housekeeper made it more comfortable.Wouldnt mind visiting again and again.

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!
