Ground Floor of Villa with Private Pool & Garden

Collins Stanley MukigiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Margarita’s Home was the perfect getaway, just a five-minute walk from the beach, which made it super convenient for daily seaside strolls. The staff, especially Esther and her team, were incredibly helpful and welcoming, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, and Rocky, the resident dog, added an extra touch of charm with his calm and friendly demeanor. It truly felt like a home away from home, with all the little details taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, beachside retreat!

Villa under the palm trees

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved staying at Alida's. A very practical layout for the house with comfortable beds, ceiling fans in every room and two bathrooms. The shaded dining area in the walled garden was great for breakfasts. The house is situated in a small local village and is just a five minute walk from the beautiful Jambiani Beach and various hotels and cafes. Alida was a great host and very accommodating.

Beachfront private villa with private pool

JeanetteRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great stay at Nina’s private villa with a pool. We really enjoyed the privacy. It was very close to the beach and it was amazing to see the sea tide every day. There are no supermarkets close to the villa, you have to take a taxi to shops.

AMANI VILLA

HamzaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We spent 10 days at this beautiful villa with a very traditional design. Sacha was able to guide us from our arrival (change of money, restaurant and advice of all kinds). Privacy and tranquility. We highly recommend this listing because of its geolocation as well as its quality host.
