Wonderful host, nice place that Linda has there. The housekeeper Mary was quite helpful. We had a delay with our transport so Linda extended our check out time which was commendable. She's a good host. Will for sure visit again.

Stay at Casa Bella. Romantic villa with pool views
Debra’s place was exactly as depicted in the photos, and the accurate maps made arrival hassle-free. The space itself is lovely, featuring a kitchen equipped with everything you might need. Jasmine, who manages the property daily, was absolutely charming. The shared swimming pool is stunning and conveniently located just steps from the house. Generally felt secure even walking back to the residence in the night. The beach, easily accessible via Marine Park Road, is just a short walk away. One minor note: While the pool’s easy accessibility was a plus, it posed a slight challenge with my 2-year-old daughter—temporary safety barriers could enhance the experience for families with young children. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend Debra’s place as the go-to choice for anyone visiting Malindi.
