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?

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.

Really enjoy my stay and I will return for sure with more friends as it is big enough

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.

Kabi House:- 7 bedroom/6bath pool 1 min beach
A really beautiful house in Watamu, nicer and more welcoming than the photos. We were two families; 4 adults and 4 children in total. The size of the house was perfect and the kids spent all day in the pool, which was well shaded. The outdoor seating area was great for the evenings. And the food prepared by Jackson was delicious.

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 ❤️❤️

Bahati Main Villa
Bahati Beach House was amazing. Our family had a wonderful stay. The staff is made up of amazing guys that so helpful and friendly. The food was incredible. the beach is quiet and peaceful with really great snorkeling available. there is a marine preserve directly or from the house with guides to help ensure you see great fish and coral. Just be prepared to pay the conservancy group to snorkel inside the preserve. We highly recommend staying here!
