Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Watamu

Our stay at Azzurra's place was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The apartment itself was charming, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making us feel right at home, and the location is so close to the Watamu Mall where you can find an ATM, supermarket, nice coffee shop, and means of transportation to go around. The pool area was like a private oasis beautifully landscaped, impeccably maintained, and just the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. Whether we were lounging poolside with a good book or taking a leisurely swim under the sun, every moment spent here felt like pure bliss Furthermore, Azzurra went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a cozy, centrally located retreat with thoughtful touches and a gracious host, look no further this is the place for you! We can't wait to return. Thank you Azzura

I felt at home immediately I arrived at Swordfish.The guard expressed readiness to host us.During the stay,Gladys was very helpful and made our stay cool . Rossella assisted with a list of cabs to engage during the stay that we really appreciated.I would highly recommend Swordfish samaki house to anyone willing to stay in Malindi.

Amazing place! The house is beautiful and charming, the pool is lush, the staff are wonderful and the chef very good. Elizabeth was incredibly helpful and easy to coordinate with. We couldn’t have been happy - highly recommend!

Cynthia is a great host very responsive and helpful. Place was close to the airport which was perfect for what I was looking for

An incredible house in a beautiful garden. We loved sitting outside by the pool and using the upstairs area. Host was very helpful and accommodating. We had a fantastic time. No complaints at all!

This was my second time staying at this villa, and it was just as amazing as the first—if not better! I came with a group of friends for my bachelorette trip (first time for most of them), and the experience was unforgettable. The staff truly made our stay special. William, the chef, was incredible—he made sure we were always well-fed, worked around our timings, and even helped with our daily shopping needs. Mercy and Tatu kept the villa spotless and were so sweet, even making us some chips one afternoon when we had a craving! Vincent ensured the pool was always clean and helped out with anything we needed. Our hosts, Philippe and Soltana, were so accommodating and warm. Even though the villa is for 8 and we were 9, they helped us with extra arrangements and were genuinely excited for our girls trip. They checked in often and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this villa if you’re looking for a relaxing, well-catered, and welcoming stay. I’ll definitely be back!

Great stay! Would definitely do it again.

We were genuinely happy and excited during our stay at Korosho House and the staff - Moses for showing us around and taking us on different activities, Francis for the very tasty food, excellent and accountability while doing the meal plans, Vivian for always keeping the house clean and being around. The view and the pictures on the website were upto par. Fun fact : When you go there plan to go for at least 2 weeks #many activities available. The only "disappointment "is that we only stayed for 3 nights next time we should definitely come for 7 nights. The pool was very clean, the compound was well kept, there is an outdoor patio along with an outside gym. The environment was serene and secure and the creek had a beautiful sunset view. Also games for kids and ocean related activities. The price is inclusive of the chef's services.

We had a fantastic family vacation at the Lady D House. The large apartment, located within an exclusive resort, was perfect for our needs. Our kids especially loved the three swimming pools—it's a super kids-friendly place. The beachfront location is another big plus, offering stunning views of the beautiful 7 Islands Bay. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly. Kanata is an excellent chef, and I highly recommend asking him to prepare local dishes; we thoroughly enjoyed the fish and seafood. Scarlett was also there every day for housekeeping, ensuring we had a comfortable stay. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so wonderful. Watamu is full of activities, making it an ideal vacation spot with some of the most beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean. We hope to be back soon at the Lady D House!

Loved my stay at Ray’s place. He’s a very welcoming host and so good at communicating.

Asia's place is perfect. Worth the price. Not far from Malindi international airport which is veryy convenient. Its also quite easy to find transport to wherever place you want to go. There are nearby restaurants with clean, good and fresh food for those lazy to cook, like me 🤣. The studio has a very nice view and a clean and well maintained swimming pool. It has beachfront access. Vasco da gama pillar, the portuguese chapel, very famous tourist sites, are literally walking distance from the place. Yohh, this place is a 5 star . Waayy worth the price and Asia is also perfect and very responsive and a kind person🤍. Will definitely recommend the place to others and whenever I want to visit Malindi/Watamu I will consider the place.

An amazing quiet serene place , very clean and fresh house. The host ,Winnie is so helpful and responsive. Really enjoyed our stay there 💯

The Studio was clean and neat and the host was very responsive. 👍

William's place was a haven of peace and tranquility from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The place felt like a second home with amazing views, a very welcoming helper - Jonathan, whose food was always so delicious and amazing - and the pool, which was a highlight of our entire stay. we couldn't get enough of everything. We are very pleased with the listing and already making plans to return. I will highly recommend William's place as the best place for anyone visiting Malindi.

We had an exceptional time at Karina’s. This place is absolutely stunning and very comfortable, safe and secure. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury at a good price. Housekeeping came every day and they were very thorough and the security was amazing. Such a magical piece of paradise and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you 😊

We had a great stay at Nicholas' apartment. The residence is superb, 5 min walk from the beach. The space has everything you need to cook and feel at home. We would recommend the place without hesitation.

Had an excellent stay at Pam's place. Great location, on the beach, close to restaurants. The place was well equipped with everything you need. Pam is a great host, quick response. Can absolutely recommend the place

This place was absolutely beautiful - felt right at home! It’s a great, clean, and convenient base in Watamu. The apartment was spotless and so practical for our stay, with a fully equipped kitchen. We had an incredibly comfortable stay. The property has a pool and is right on the beach, with stunning beach views from our balcony - it was gorgeous! It’s also very close to the market and a lovely brunch spot that serves the best ice cream. Highly recommend staying here!

It was a cool place,through it rained through out our stay but it was wow.nature also was BEST

We had a great stay at Lucy’s place. Check-in was smooth and on time, and the place was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was amazing, and we were able to use it every day. The air conditioner kept us comfortable, and having a washing machine and iron was really helpful, especially with the clothes we brought. A cleaner came in regularly, which kept everything tidy. Getting to the main amenities and nearby cities was easy, and tuk-tuks were readily available to pick us up whenever needed. Overall, everything went smoothly, and I would highly recommend staying at Lucy’s place!

Susan’s place is a true gem. The beds were comfortable, always hot water and power, well equipped kitchen and a gorgeous pool and patio. Even niceties I dint expect like security cameras, house cleaning and a quality washing machine. You have all you need to live there autonomously. Next door is a great pizza place w vegan pizza and cocktails! Notes for families: the beach that is directly outside of Susan’s compound is not family friendly nor good for swimming (trash and khat chewers). But the cleaner swim able beach is just a 8 min Tuk Tuk ride away. Worth the distance to have such a gorgeous condo! The pool was shallow enough for my 5 yo to stand w her head above water but a short child or a younger child couldn’t stand. There is no “kiddie pool”

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.

Our stay at Franca's went very well. We were well received, and the house helpers were very helpful. Paradise setting, the garden and its many swimming pools are perfect for a stay with friends and family! Beach Access. Proximity to restaurants and shops. I would recommend it!

We had such a fantastic time at Ghepard. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, as was the owner, and the property itself is absolutely stunning - both the apartment and the pool area. The place is a slice of heaven and we will definitely return given the chance.
