Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Malindi

My stay in Watamu, with my two friends, was very lovely. Yasmin, Antonio, and Mary made our stay very comfortable with their warm personalities and responsiveness to any queries we had throughout our visit. This was much appreciated when we needed assistance with things in the house. The open plan feel of the apartment with the strong breeze was something of a lifeline in the heat by the Indian Ocean and the effective A/C in all bedrooms was a blessing. The pool was clean and also very quiet which made mornings and evenings very peaceful to swim. The apartment is very well located and is just 5minutes, if that, to Watamu beach and also positioned close to the bank and nearby shops. I will be staying here again if and when I am on the coast, Gus (UK 23-29/08/24)

A beautiful place. Had wonderful time with my family. The place was clean and spacious. Zawadi the caretaker was lovely. Would recommend this place. Perfect for family.

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

Very nice and comfortable.

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! 🤩

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.

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?

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.

Murasi never disappoints. This was the second time we were hosted by him in his cosy apartment. We felt at home and were very satisfied with the service we received. Murasi is very understanding, hospitable and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I strongly recommend him and will certainly be back in his apartment in the near future.

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 !

Great place, Great people and staff there to take care of you. I love Watamu and it's sweet people

Very Responsive Host, amazing house managers and very clean and ready to help. Easy to access and would recommend anytime. Planning to come back again.

Lovely environment, peaceful neighborhood, and a great house.

Amazing place to relax and feel on holiday. Great restaurants in the area and the own private pool is the place to be. Alex and Pendo are the icing on the cake, great people, always welcoming and supportive and great people.

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!

Great place with friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The property has direct access to the beach and other facilities such as restaurants. internet connection was the only thing that was sub par - wifi only works in a limited area of the house. Other than that everything was great!

Absolutely incredible villa, everything went above and beyond what we could have wanted. Fantastic location with incredible views of the beach and the sunset from the roof. Everything is spacious, clean and we felt very at home and in our own private oasis. Joseph, Dixon, Moses, Robert and the team were such a delight and always on hand whenever we needed and we were so grateful for everything they did to enhance our experience. Couldn’t recommend this villa more

We had a great stay at Micio House. Michela and Rooney are great hosts and very friendly and so are the staff. The compound is a little oasis with a beautiful terrace, pool and garden with lots of trees and bushes. I highly recommend staying here if you're coming to watamu as a small group or couple.

This is the second time I have been a guest in this villa. It is perfect for me and my family, large rooms, beautiful garden, swimming pool and direct access to the sea. I would like to highlight the staff, always available, professional and very discreet. I hope to be able to return soon.

Felt at home in this house…very peaceful and spacious house and property. The pool is lovely and great for kids and really feels private. Paul and Evans work hard and make sure you are ok, but also give space so you have privacy. The fans worked well to keep us cool at night. The house is in a great location, not far from Lichthaus/Garoda Beach area. Emilie is a wonderful host and very accommodating and communicative. Only spent a couple days there, but it was a nice break for our family.

A little slice of paradise—peaceful, relaxing, and set in a beautiful garden with multiple seating areas and a great pool to cool off in. The apartment itself is well-equipped and feels like a home away from home. It’s separate from where Esther lives next door, so you have plenty of privacy, but she’s always available if you need anything. We rented a motorbike which made getting around really easy—exploring different beaches, restaurants, the supermarket, and even the gym. Esther is a fantastic host—warm, friendly, and always happy to help. Watamu has a lot to offer, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Loved this place. Rael, who manages the property, was a star. Would highly recommend.

I had an amazing stay in Watamu! The space was incredibly spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. I absolutely loved everything about it—from the cozy interior to the spacious rooms. It's also perfectly located, just a short walk from the beach, which made the experience even more special. A truly lovely place that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. I’d definitely come back.

The apartment was very very nice and the hosts are very helpful and courteous. My guest was very happy. Oasis village however is in a very bad state of repair…
