Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Serrekunda

I came to relax and that's just what I did. The balcony had a breathtaking view of the ocean. I was however awakened by the birds each morning a different one almost each time. The beach is within eyesight but further than it appears. In my opinion it's best to drive there especially if it's hot. The security guy was awesome! I think he has lifetime friends in us now. All utensils and supplies are there. My only con would be the water. The electrity had a few issues as well but they worked hard to figure it out. Occasionally the water would be out as well and once we let Joy or security know, it was taken care of. I enjoyed my stay and I appreciate Joy and her crew for their hospitality.

Adi's place was really nice and in a secured area. A little out of town but not too far from the main areas. The check-in was easy and seamless. He was also able to accommodate our late checkout. He also gave us an amazing taxi guy who was our guide throughout our stay. We really did have a good time. Note that the kitchen is shared and is outside of the rooms but it was not a big deal. Everyone in the building was helpful. Thank you Adi!

We spent our holiday with our 3 kids for the 2nd time in The White House and it was as amazing as the first time. The villa is very spacious, with a lot of light, a great pool that is being well taken care of, and fantastic staff. Fatou cooked us a great local meal and provided us with anything we needed. Esa drove us around and showed us nice bars where they played the jembe, and Ousman joined us when we went to a local Reggae Party. We also enjoyed the massage of Lamen (which is really something you should experience there). After nice mornings runs in the fabulous nature, we had fresh fruits from the market for breakfast and went to visit the neighborhood. We made friends with local people from the fisherman's village and they took us out to fish on their boat. The little short walks to the beach where you can enjoy a local coffee, fruit juice or cocktail were our daily habit. Yes, we will return again. Because of all of the above. And because of the good price-quality!

It was bigger than i thought

Great stay that's a 15 minute walk from the beautiful, peaceful beaches of Tujereng! The guesthouse also has a bar/restaurant so you can have any/all your meals and drinks here which makes it very convenient. Mariama had some great suggestions for me on things to do as well, which was much appreciated. Thank you!

Imagine, if you will, traveling to a foreign country during a pandemic, arriving at the black of night, hassled by shady immigration officers, and having no local money. Absolute nightmare, but then swoops in the angels of mercy-Lorraine and Roy! They arranged for their driver to collect us from the airport, AND paid for our visa and airport security fee. We did reimburse them. (Note: Bring only British pounds or Gambian dalasi! No cards or USD accepted.) When we arrived at their place, Lorraine brought us food so we wouldn’t starve in the night. Then the next morning, she and Roy both greeted us with big smiles and friendly advice. The place is a dream!!! There is a lovely petite kitchen with all one needs for simple meals, a tiled shower with plenty of hot water, and two clean bedrooms with comfortable beds. The outside space is an oasis. They have created a slice of paradise complete with a large clean swimming pool, lounge areas, an honor bar, and a thatched roof gazebo. Lorraine and Roy are a wealth of information, and they are quite the adventurers. Ask Roy to tell you about their adventures of crossing the desert—before the days of mobile phones, GPS, or roads. Put it this way—you’d be a fool to stay anywhere else!

Stefan is a very nice landlord. Responded quickly to deficiencies and was always reachable. For us, the accommodation was optimal and just right from the location. I'd love to come back.

Wonderful place with everything you need. Lala was extremely helpful. Thanks for the stay!

Maimuna’s apartment in Barakah Estate is exactly as shown on the pictures. However, the pictures do not show how large the place really is. We loved the space and the veranda. Omar the security guy was very kind and helpful. He even went to the corner store to buy me sugar for my coffee. Very kind young man indeed. Lastly, the maid was kind and friendly. She was helpful as she offered to do my laundry and kept the apartment very clean. The only caveat would be that there is construction going on daily in the neighborhood so it can be noisy during the day time hours. All in all, this was a good stay and I would recommend Maimuna’s apartment for anyone coming to the Gambia for short term or long term stays. She made us feel at home.
