The hosts are very friendly and kind. They made sure that we settled in well. We had a dedicated chef and housekeeping. There is also a SPA in the compound; if you are looking for a 3 bedroom apartment with en-suite bathrooms in a quiet area, very central, this is the right place to stay in Watamu. The supermarket is 10 minutes away. The beach is 10 min walking distance

Your Coastal Oasis!

Richard GeromeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I love this bnb! this was my 2nd stay and won't be the last. whenever am traveling to mombasa this is my go to spot. the bnb is beautiful the decor is kool unique and stylish . the seller is the view!! it's what really draws me there each time. loaded with amenities pretty much everything you can think of is there. very comfortable sofa seating and bed. I literally have no complaints the only thing that could make it better is if it was in a more happening area but it's easy to get around with ubers. the host is amazing she always gets back to me with any concerns and rectified them. she definitely takes wanting us to have a good experience serious. pro tip . there is a store nearby on called food plus where you can get cases of water, snacks and even food stuff for cooking. the big thing is there is also a pharmacy and atm in that same Plaza. good to know because there is not an atm at the premises where you'll stay. cash is king.

Sea Breeze Getaway

BelindaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Ayan was a wonderful host! She welcomed us personally and showed us the beautifully furnished apartment. It was very clean and well maintained. Through her profile, we discovered fun activities and found great inspiration for our stay. She was very helpful, which made our stay much easier. I could reach her at any time, and she always responded quickly to my messages. The apartment is very bright, which we personally really liked. It’s furnished in a minimalist Swahili style, which added a unique and charming touch. If it’s available next year, we’ll definitely book again!

Ras Kikadini Beach House

RebekkaRating, 5 stars20 months ago
Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!
A spacious living area features two wooden sofas with light-colored cushions, paired with a large coffee table. Natural light streams through large windows, accented by sheer white curtains. A vibrant striped rug covers the floor, adding a touch of color to the serene atmosphere.

Tropical retreat in kilifi county, kikambala

JoRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We recently stayed at this Airbnb and overall had a pleasant experience. The town house was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described in the listing. The location is far from the airport and train station as it is in Kikambala but next to beautiful white sandy beach. We, however did encounter a hassle with the check-in process. Despite this minor inconvenience, which was amicably resolved, the stay was enjoyable, and the host was responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place for its comfort and location next to the beach
The exterior of Makuti House is showcased, featuring a thatched roof and stone pillars. Lush tropical plants surround the entrance, and a stone pathway leads up to the house. The blue sky above adds to the inviting ambiance of the property.

Makuti House, Vipingo, Sea-front home with pool

KatharinaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We just loved this place and thought it it even more beautiful than on the images. The tasteful house offers a spectacular view directly onto the ocean. The architecture is beautiful and everything works well. The place is located in a very safe and luxurious estate with access to a private beach an larger pool. We had daily visits from cute monekys and other pretty birds. The staff is very reliable and friendly and the chef great (this is a fully serviced house wirh a cook, someone doing the clothes etc.). Our only problem was, that we did not want to leave !

Zahari House (Dhow house)

BenedettaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Joanna’s place was amazing. My daughter with 6 friends went there and Joanna was very supportive and welcoming. The house is large, breezy, in great conditions, with large en suite rooms. The girls had a cook who helped prepare breakfast and dinner for a very reasonable prize , the pool was cleaned daily and the place was excellent for groups of families or friends. I would highly recommend and we will definitely go back !

Shuma House

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
WOW!! What a fabulous trip had by all!! 8 adults and 1 baby stayed for 10 nights at Shuma house. We had an incredible trip. Shuma is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful, you really feel at one with nature here!. Shuma house itself is stunning, plenty of space for everyone, all the rooms are quirky, spacious and full of personality. The staff were all very welcoming and accommodating, and all work incredibly hard to ensure we are well fed and looked after. Martin, Shumas chef cooked us the most delicious meals night after night! Lots of choice and flexibility with meal choices/timings/allergies etc. Robert was amazing and tended to our every need, especially our daughter Elkies needs! Thank you all so much for making our trip to Shuma House absolutely fabulous! It was an emotional goodbye, but it certainly wont be the last!! We will be back!! Thank you! 🤩

Escape to The Beach House - Your Private Paradise!

CraigRating, 5 stars11 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?

Watamu Sandbar Beach Cottage

AlinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a gem! Both the rental and the hosts! Couldn’t have asked for a better long weekend break at Sue and Damian’s place. Perfect, relaxing location with a pool (shared with the studio rental but we barely saw them) and just beside the beach (short path down from the property), layout of the house is great and has a large covered patio. Got excellent recommendations and updates from Sue on what was open, and loved meeting their dogs on the beach (separated from the rental)!

Kaleb's Beachfront Villa

EnzoRating, 5 stars21 months ago
Die Unterkunft ist direkt am Strend. Die Küche ist sehr gut bestückt. Die Aufteilung der Zimmer ist nicht optimal, da man durch das Schlafzimmer in die Küche gehen muss. Das Haus wird von einem Hausbetreuer betreut. Wenn was nicht funktioniert ist immer jemand da den man fragen kann. Der Resort ist gut bewacht. Die Häuser stehen sehr nahe nebeneinander. Man kann daher sehr gut hören was die Nachbarn machen😉

Attico panoramico sul mare e meravigliosa piscina

RumiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house looks exactly like it does in the photos—no surprises, no disappointments. The view is stunning, and there’s a large shared pool that’s perfect for relaxing. Everything was very clean, and Silvia was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond. The location is unbeatable—it’s right on the beach, just a couple of steps away. Unfortunately, we visited during the low season, so we ended up going to Garoda Beach to swim. Still, I’m sure that during the high season, you can fully enjoy the beautiful beach right in front of the house. Overall, we had a great experience. If there’s one thing I would suggest improving, it’s the interior design. Replacing the bedsheets on the couches with proper covers would make the space feel much more polished—and truly deserving of more than 5 stars.

Swahili House Lofty Cottage:Tiwi Beachfront Resort

ManuelaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Wir ausgesprochen freundlich begrüßt. Ein ganzes Team hat sich 2 Wochen um unser Wohlergehen und unsere Sicherheit gekümmert, angefangen von der täglichen Reinigung, der Organisation unserer Einkäufe durch Gilbert, dem Manager, über die Zubereitung der Mahlzeiten 2x täglich von Humphrey, einem Koch mit Leib und Seele, der unsere Menüwünsche aufgenommen und umgesetzt hat. Wir haben es sehr genossen. Neben den vorhandenen Ventilatoren in den Schlafräumen haben wir von Gilbert 2 zusätzliche Ventilatoren erhalten, um auch bei nächtlich hohen Temperaturen gut schlafen zu können. Die Betten waren ausgezeichnet., wir hatten eine überdachte Veranda vor dem Eingang, ein Balkon im 1. Stock mit einer schönen Liege mit Blick auf das Meer und viele schattige Plätze im Garten. Auf dem großes Gelände mit Meerwasserpool nur wenige Meter vom Ozean entfernt, haben wir uns sehr wohl und wie im Paradies gefühlt. Wir würden das Haus jederzeit empfehlen und gerne wiederkommen.
