Carlos Marina House 1
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.

Shuma House
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!
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?

Nyumba Ya Madau - Stunning Beach Villa in Watamu
This is a wonderful home and we had a fabulous time. We came as 2 families of 4 (from London) + grandparents (from Nairobi) - so 10 of us in total. The house is beautiful - very charming and comfortable - and spills out onto the beach (via a private gated entrance). The kids loved playing in the small private pool and having daily walks out onto the reef in low-tide. The stretch of coastline the house is on is idyllic - about 20 min drive from Watamu town. The chef and staff are very attentive. We're all vegetarian and they handled that pretty well (though naturally they're more accustomed to a meat/seafood menu). As a family/group holiday venue, this is highly recommended.

Red Sunshine Villa Pool B&B
Donatella's place was beautiful, clean, and spacious. She even had complementary Kenyan coffee, tea, and sugar. She had salt also. Amazing. Donatella was just a phone call away for anything we had a question about. Thankyou Donatella. Shalom

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.

Mambrui Beach, Relax in Malindi
Wambui's place was nothing short of amazing. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and serene then this is definitely the place. Wambui was a very wonderful host, very communicative and friendly. The house manager, Selina, was super friendly and very helpful. The house was cozy and exactly as described. We felt right at home . We would definitely stay here again.

Welcome to the African dream
We had a very nice stay at "the African Dream"! The hosts enabled us to buy local fruit, veggies directly from the next village and even ordered a fish that was just brought from the ocean. They cooked amazing BBQ-fish for us and tought us a lot about Kenya, the coast and Kenyan food. We definitely enjoyed our stay! But you need to have a car, the beach is 1km away and beside the small local vendors, the next supermarket is to be found in Malindi, which is ca. 20mins away by car.

close to the sea II, Watamu
Really, really close to the best part of Watamu beach. Can't beat the location. It is adjacent to a hotel so you can also take advantage of what they have to offer.

Malindi Sea View Bungalow, The Baobabs.
We had a fantastic time at Thomas's place. Communication prior to the visit was great, she ensured everything was set before our arrival. The staff, what amazing souls! They took really good care of us during our stay. The house is well maintained, from the rooms and out on the pool you can seethe ocean, such a magnificent view. The beach is about 5 minutes walk from the house, I loved this section of the beach as we were all alone. It really is a great place for one to just get away and relax.

Kianga house - Malindi Kenya -
The house is very comfortable in the middle of a haven of greenery, embellished with a magnificent pool with impeccable cleanliness. The resting areas are many and the furniture, chosen with taste, is very cozy. You just have to cross the road and walk a hundred meters to the beach. Samuel, a very versatile man, makes the stay easy.

Elena House Luxury Family Holiday Coastal Villa
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elena House. Kevin was super helpful, easy to contact and very quick in his responses. He also had plenty of very helpful tips about the area, things to do, contacts etc. The house and the pool were wonderful. Perfect for a big group and ac in every bedroom. The staff were extremely friendly and assisted us with everything we needed. The beach is just a short walk away and there are lovely restaurants a TukTuk trip down the road. We also recommend a boat tour to the beautiful sand islands. Highly recommended place!
