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

Ras Kikadini Beach House
Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!

Cutest Tiny Villa in Kikambala. 2Bdrm, 2Bath
Very nice quiet clean place. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and relax then this is your go to place.

Watamu Paradise BeachFront
Absolutely stunning house and great communication from the host and office. The house is a bit older so bathrooms are a bit old and had some issues, but apart from that it is absolutely beautiful and right on the beach. Even better than on photos!

Magical 4-bed staffed Watamu house with epic views
This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

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.

Wesa house - Large private beachfront Villa & pool
Wesa Beach House is a terrific, secluded stay in the heart of the Swahili coast. Definitely recommended. The house: is well cared for, and linens, fixtures, and the house itself is well maintained against the sea air. We comfortably slept 3 adults in separate rooms and 4 young children. The staff: Charles and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Incredibly responsive, on time, and proactively communicate. The food every day was incredible (with surprises like crab pizza!). We enjoyed the massages as well. Everyone went above and beyond to take good care of us. The pool: beautiful temperature--we spent hours swimming every day The beach: Wesa House is the only modern house on the beach. However the beach is a busy local fishing area, with the bustle of the fish trade. The beach does have a good amount of seaweed, but just a few feet into the reef it's a gorgeous clear-water swim in knee-deep water. It was perfect for our young kids.

Seaside Escape
We had an amazing time at Faith's place! The house is spotless, well-organized, and filled with natural light. The balcony offers breathtaking views, and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the beachfront pool. Faith's communication was outstanding—she was proactive and attentive from the moment we booked, throughout our stay, and even after checkout. She went above and beyond by providing helpful recommendations, including connecting us with a fantastic chef. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to staying here again in the future!

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

New Luxe 3 BR oceanview Nyali
Sarah is a Great host. Her location is great, close to restaurant, the beach and shopping mall. Beautiful home! Will definitely recommend.

Ahadi Beachfront Villa with pool and beach access
The house is amazing and the setting is wonderful. They also provided us with the contact to hire a cook who was great and a driver to get around the area. I recommend it 100%.

D7 Ocean View ONE BEDROOM Duplex Apartment.
The house is even better in person 😍we were here for new years and saw a beautiful fireworks display..the house was very clean...host was super responsive and helpful...I'd definitely recommend and come back again 🥹🥹

Clean Cottage with Pool Next To The Beach
Nadia’s villa was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful house, garden and pool, safe, 5 minutes from beach. The resort staff and in particular Carol, who looks after the house - everyone looked after us really well. Carol made the week really easy, and went out of her way to help us find our feet, first time in Mombasa - she also made us some great meals. A perfect location, I would love to come back!

Aquatic Escape Penthouse (Ocean View)
Beautiful view and very spacious. Great places to visit and things to do nearby. Jet skiing a few miles away was really fun. Will definitely return there in the future.

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.

Lion House beach house
Great place, beautiful pool. Worth noting that the use of the kitchen is not guaranteed.

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.

Apache beach apartment
Large apartment. Excellent wifi. Air con in master bedroom worked great but it was warm for me in the main living area and kitchen. Limited view towards the sea. You can cross the road and walk down a narrow path to the beach, which is nice at low tide. Security guard were friendly. Near supermarkets. Great communication. Would recommend.

Family beach house, birder's paradise.
Our stay at Villa Mkauju was absolutely fantastic! The villa is stunning, offering tranquility and comfort. A big thank you to the wonderful staff who were incredibly attentive and made us feel at home. Special thanks to the owner for maintaining such a beautiful property. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in Malindi. Can't wait to return!

Kas 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!

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.

Serviced 2 bedroom apartment near the ocean front
Great stay. Amazing host. The home is comfortable and the service was great. Thanks
