Kwamuhindi Beach house along Kuruwitu 2 floor
Lovely home, with very helpful staff and a responsive host. Definitely going to re-book when in Kilifi

Beach Haven! Cozy Villa
We really enjoyed staying here. The place was so serene! Great environment and easy access to the beach. I appreciate all the support from Carol, who was very helpful during our stay. The pool was an added plus for me! Generally, the place was really beautiful and we enjoyed being there! Thanks for hosting us!

Beach Haven! Cutest Tiny Villa in Kikambala. 2Bdrm
a beautiful stay at Dee and Nana's place. The cottage is situated in a compound with 4 other cottages and a block of apartments, but it feels very private and spacious. there is a fabulous pool that is just deep enough for relaxing in the sun and the compound is directly on the beach. we were there at new year, which is very hot on the coast, but the cottage is well ventilated and has lots of fans to keep you cool. small kitchen is very well-equipped to cook meals and there are lots of comfy sofas for chilling. taxi driver recommendation was great and we enjoyed the little touches :)

Magical 4-bed staffed Watamu house with epic views
My wife, I and our three children had a great holiday here. The house is located in a picturesque village surrounded by coconut palms. One of the most beautiful beaches in Kenya is about a 10-minute drive away. We had our own car, so it was not difficult for us to get there, but if you do not have transport, you can always use a tuk-tuk or a motorbike taxi. The beach is beautiful! Next to the house is an ocean bay with mangrove trees. We were very pleased that the house has two excellent SUP boards! At high tide you can ride them through the mangrove forest and it is very, very beautiful! But take shoes with you because there are sharp shells at the bottom. Nice people work in the house. Chef Joseph cooked well and was very kind. Thank him very much! We were lucky with the weather, it was not stuffy at all, so we never used the fans at night. Thanks to the owner of the house Tom and his team for good memories!

Le Pleiadi Alcyone
Great experience at Le Pleiadi. The rooms are spacious and the pool is splendid. Proper value for money. Would certainly recommend. Will be back.

Nyumba Ya Madau - Stunning Beach Villa in Watamu
We had an AMAZING time. The house is right on the beach with private access and a nice sized garden space. The house itself was really homely and had everything we needed without being over fussy. We all loved the snorkelling and beach vibe and the kids loved the small pool on the veranda. The staff were great and so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this house.

Donnelly House, 3 bedrooms, private beach access
This is a lovely house on the beach just next to Treehouse Watamu. The location is excellent, the staff very friendly, and the house has lots of spots to relax and hangout. It also has a nice pool, good mosquito nets and lots of fans. The ocean is a 3 minute walk and this particular stretch of beach is peaceful, empty and hassle free. The house has two good sized double rooms with a bunkbed (double down, single up) in a small corridor. It fit our family of five perfectly. Will definitely be back.

Watamu Beach Cottage - 2 Bedroom.
We had a pleasant stay with Stephen. Great communication in advance and very flexible. Would definitely consider another stay with Stephen.

PucciHouse 3 rooms apartment-swimming pool & Spa
The hosts are very friendly and kind. They made sure that we settled in well. We had a dedicated chef and housekeeping. There is also a SPA in the compound; if you are looking for a 3 bedroom apartment with en-suite bathrooms in a quiet area, very central, this is the right place to stay in Watamu. The supermarket is 10 minutes away. The beach is 10 min walking distance

Ahadi Beachfront Villa with pool and beach access
Ahadi Villa is a gem! The place is better than the photos. My family had a wonderful time, we really enjoyed spending our holiday here. Thank you we hope to come again

Sultan Palace Beach Holiday Apartment
Loved our stay at Mahine's place. We would definitely recommend! Timely response from Mahine in case of issues or requests. Beautiful scenery, access to the white sandy beach, several swimming pools to accommodate the many people who’ve chosen to stay there for the gem that the place is. The little ones are also well taken care of with the various baby pools and kids play and entertainment areas. Very family friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

Neem Tree - waterfront villa on Marine Conservancy
Lyndsay was a great host and her staff were great The only thing that we could find fault was the wifi at the pool We spent an inordinate amount of time here

Kaleb's Beachfront Villa
Liked the cottage a lot. Needs some refreshing to get a total 5 star for the value from me. Otherwise enjoyed being there much.

Paradise Haven Mambrui/Malindi
Moe’s place is exactly what we were looking for during our trip, a place just steps from the beach, sleeping to the beautiful sounds of the ocean. The swimming pools are another highlight, warm, salty and very clean water. The house is very cosy, beds are comdortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Even though the showers have no hot water, you definitely do not need the hot water as it is very hot weather. Amina came everyday to help clean up and was extremely friendly. John was also very accommodating with an earlier check in. The whole neighbourhood is just beautiful. If you are looking for a beachside house, this is for you, do not hesitate.

The unique circular design ensures a pleasant sea breeze, while cozy seating areas invite you to relax. Two dedicated staff members are available around the clock, keeping the apartment spotless, preparing delicious meals and providing hotel-quality service. The incredibly friendly and helpful host Franca responds quickly and is highly flexible. She effortlessly accommodates all wishes and needs, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay.

5 bedroom Beach front maridadi villa
Can't wait to come back! The photos of this place doesn't do it justice, it's beautiful. If you are looking for a peaceful place, private beach without beach boys, spacious etc..this is the place to be. Thank you to Goldermeer for helping us get a chef (Samson) who made delicious meals for our entire stay. Special thanks to Celina (House keeper) who became part of our family. She made sure that all the spaces were spotless. We had a blast!

Ritchie House Stunning peaceful beachfront 5BD
We had a wonderfull stay in Ritchie's House. The house itself is wonderful, has a very beautiful garden and access to the beach. The service was excellent, and the chef was very professional and good as well. In short: we had an excellent stay at Ritchie's House. On top of that, all communication with Vivienne went extremely smooth. We felt warmly welcomed, even long before we even arrived. Vivienne is very responsive, and helped us with restaurant recommendations as well.

Stunning Beachfront Villa – near Mtwapa, Mombasa
We were a family of 5; 2 adults and 3 kids aged 14 year old, 5 year old and a 2 year old. Charlottes place was amazing. We loved everything! The staff at the house make sure you are comfortable. They cleaned everyday and we had clean towels daily. The guard Suleiman, is great to book excursions if you need, a very friendly man. We hired a chef called Katana, whom Charlotte recommended. His food was fantastic, delicious and nutritious. Just let him know your preference like swahili dishes, or other dishes and he will make it. We had him make Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Polly the manager, is at the site and she can help you if you have questions, she is very responsive and friendly. I recommend this place for families with small kids and teenagers. The pool is another gem in this house. Thank you Charlotte, we miss your house already ❤️

Kilifis hidden gem
We had the most magical weekend at the Kamili Cottage. The interior, the garden, the food, the staff - everything was impeccable.

Medina Palms three bedroom Beach Villa in Watamu
This villa is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay with family and friends. Well positioned within the Medina Palms resort and with privacy and facilities that the smaller apartments do not have, I would definitely stay here again. Jacob was very easy to communicate with online and the staff at Medina Palms are excellent.

Family beach house, birder's paradise.
What an amazing house this is. The photos don’t do it justice. The outdoor areas and the swimming pool are fantastic. Cool, subtle, chic and very relaxing. If you’re staying then Albert (the chef) is a must include. He is very engaging when it comes to culinary options and it’s a real treat to be spoilt rotten by not having to cook or do the washing up. This took us a day or two to get used to! Katana was able to bring fresh fish and squid caught by his fisherman friends. His wife keeps the inside spic and span as you’d find in a hotel. We would love to come back and stay in this enchanting airy cool and semi-rural spot. We were all extremely sad to leave as the hospitality shown was second to none and we would love to come back some time soon! Thanks so much. Tom, Claire, Anne and Bea from the UK.

What Cottage
The space is exactly what you want for a beach getaway with friends - beautiful coastline and sea views off the back verandah. The staff are incredibly helpful yet unobtrusive, and being on Bofa Road means the rest of Kilifi is easily accessible. Highly recommended!
