Furaha Villa in Johari Villas
We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly responsive and kind. The space was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was also very private and peaceful. Absolutely worth every penny. We’re definitely coming back!

Coast house
Adrienne's house is perfect for a stay with friends or family. Conveniently located near Garoda beach, with direct access to the beach. (5min walking distance) The house is beautiful, with well-organized and practical indoor and outdoor spaces. The pool is great ! Each bedroom has air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a private bathroom.

Hippopotamus Home
Perfectly located away from the crowds, a short walk or boda boda to Garoda beach. Special thanks to Mercy, one of the best chefs in Watamu!

The Hidden Gem VILLA.
The house is in a great location, close to the beach and many beachfront restaurants. The house is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

Twiga House - Rafiki Village
Rafiki house is a beautiful pocket of peace and tranquility. The staff were incredible - we loved getting to know Prophet and Gloria, who were always ready to help us. We felt so safe, so spoilt and so happy there.

Private paradise in Malindi
Dorris T.'s place was amazing. The property is just as advertised. She was very proactive with communication and coordination. The place was clean, quiet,really beautiful and close to most restaurants. Claris was amazing with communication and settling us in. She was perfect actually. Really enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend. It's good value for money.Thank you for an early check in, late check out and good security.

Bubi's House
We loved our stay at Nyumba ya Bubi! It is a beautiful home and located just a short walk to the beach. We were able to enjoy slow mornings and daily adventures at the beach. We recommend going on a local boat to see the star fish. The caretaker, Shaban, made our stay exceptional. He did a wonderful job & was very attentive. Laura was a very responsive and hospitable host. We enjoyed local cuisine at fine and just a short walk down the beach. The only downside for us what the construction happening on other villas was loud. Also, pack water shoes to wear since this part of the shore line is very rocky and there is a lot of seaweed. However the rest of our stay was great. We highly recommend this location!

Casa Corra Kenya. Wonderful Place!
The villa is not just stunning, it’s a full experience. Think whitewashed walls, swaying palm trees, and a view that melts all your stress away. From the peaceful coastal vibes to the breathtaking views, every moment felt like a dream.Shout out to Peter and the rest of the stuff. Very responsive and respectfull. NOW to the real MVP? Chef Joshua. His meals were a whole experience fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. If you’re looking for a place that gives you both relaxation and elegance,with food that deserves its own spotlight, Casa Corra Villa is it. Already planning on going back.

Loved our stay! Very responsive and lovely hosts. Great location and very safe with around the clock security. Ann was very accommodating and we will definitely be back!

Villa Nala with a pool in Watamu
I really enjoyed my stay at Gianni's place! It is located in a very good area in Watamu and close to everything. I also loved the fact that it is so private. The house itself is also very nice. The kitchen supplies are maybe a bit basic without a kettle/toaster. But nothing to be worried about. Every night there is a night guard, which gave me a safe feeling. Although he doesn't speak English which sometimes caused some language barriers. The owner Gianni was always very responsive and easy to communicate with! Thank you for a great stay!

The Fig Tree - A haven of peace
Erena was a wondeful host who assisted in all manners from pre booking to being around when we needed as well with ideas for what to do and planning meals. The place was lushes and green and so peaceful and loved the loveable furry friends being around which made it feel real homey. Really enjoy my stay and I will return for sure with more friends as it is big enough

Me and my family had a great stay, Caroline property is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be back again, we felt right at home.

Thanks for the hospitality! We had a great stay here. Had our own private roof terrace which was very chilled and comfortable. Rooms were spotless and cleaned daily and our host and staff very friendly and hospitable. We also got transportation very easily to Malindi airport that we asked for! Lovely stay and would recommend, really great value for money.

Mich House
We had a good stay at Prudence's house. It is a modern, new, beautiful house. The pool is also suitable for night swimmers. It's very quiet. With the tuk tuk you are quickly in the center of Malindi.

Watamu Guest House
Agnes was the most amazing host anyone could ask for. She gave us great tips on where to eat and what to do in the surrounding area. She even went out of her way to post my passport back to me after I left it there (an absolute life saver!!) Her house is lovely and spacious and 2 minutes from the beach. The beds are all super comfy and all come with mozzie nets. There was some shortage of water, but she provided us with plenty of bottles of mineral water. I would definitely recommend Agnes’ place ❤️❤️
