Beachfront holiday rentals in Watamu

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!

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.

Very nice and comfortable.

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 !

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! 🤩

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?

Emma's house was beautiful. so many places to sit and have great views, lovely coastal forest path to the beach which was not too busy. we were so well looked after by Saidi, Mariam and Ngumbaos. Highly recommended

Lynda's House is lovely! The setting is great, less than two minutes down a sandy path to the beach. The house had everything we needed for a family with two young children. The pool is lovely and had a large shallow section which our daughter loved. Fondo good us beautiful food and Joyce kept the house spotless. We are looking forward to coming back soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Isigi's Airbnb and we were upgraded to a different room, too with a beautiful view of the garden, pool and the ocean. The staff was always friendly and super helpful, especially Caro at the reception was exceptional. Close to the beach and also Naivas grocery store and surrounding restaurants were just a stone's throw away. The apartment and its surroundings were always super clean and the garden well maintained. The kingsize bed was super comfy. We loved our stay and highly recommend it to other guests! Thanks for hosting us! When we're going visit Malindi again we would definitely stay at Le Pleiadi again.

Daniele's place was a wonderful and memorable experience for us. The staff members are super friendly, thumbs up to the security guard ;Tete and Michael. The cleaners Jacky and Amina, they are very friendly and helpful. Daniele's place was very clean and free of clutter. Many places to have activities and are all so close to each other. We will definitely come.

we stayed here with my son on a boys outing and we loved it. my son enjoyed the pool swimming at night too. the rooms were clean and spotless. Patrick the host and Baraza the caretaker are wonderful host. Patrick gave us some mahari in the morning which I found kind of him. we are definitely coming back

Great stay. Amazing host. The home is comfortable and the service was great. Thanks

Absolutely fabulous place. I would highly recommend it. Rachel had clear instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and has everything you need. There is so much to do in the area, Malindi is a lovely place to visit. Musa was very helpful and showed us around making sure we got everything we needed. Thank you for having us.

We had a wonderful week at Nadia's place. It was super clean and a lovely lovely space (with a great pool). Would definitely recommend

Our stay at Linda's place was great! Her place is spotless and beautiful. The interior decor is welcoming and lovely. Her recommendations about Chef Zena made our stay unforgettable. The Housekeeper, Jemimah, does a great job at it. She was also very helpful and responsive. The outside look might look disappointing due to the ongoing renovations, but once you get in, you realize you made a good decision to book the place. I'd write on and on, but to put it simply, you will not regret booking Linda's place. We loved it!

We had. a very nice few days at the property. On the upper terrace you could enjoy the starry sky at night and watch the sunset on the sea. We were also warmly welcomed by Mr. Nzuki, who was always available to order a tuk tuk or other concerns were resolved very quickly by him. The beach section at the property is more visited by the locals, so you are not approached by the beach boys and you can enjoy your peace and quiet. We highly recommend the place. The bathroom was in very good condition and the air conditioning worked. There is even a small pool that belongs to the complex.

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.

Really, really close to the best part of Watamu beach. Can't beat the location. It is adjacent to a hotel so you can also take advantage of what they have to offer.

Great stay, lovely room and amazing roof terrace! Short walk to the beach and having a restaurant next door was really useful. Would stay again.

Giovanni’s place was truly outstanding! The space is beautiful and very calm and peaceful. We felt so at home. The staff are really excellent. They have a limited menu at good prices and the food is excellent. The pool is delightful. Just the right size of place - 5 rooms (some double, some twin) and many different common areas, which allow you to space out from other guests. We also made new friends. A really great experience all in all. Thank you Giovanni, Stephen and Ngala.

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 ❤️❤️

Milkah's place was a great beautiful and clean house. She allowed an early check-in. She provided soap and complimentary water ++ for the Malindi heat. She was always available on call and very responsive. We enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend her house.

My friend and I had planned to stay at Francesca‘s for 4 nights but extended our stay since we liked it so much. The apartment seems to be pretty new, everything is very clean and furnished practically but still with nice details like the carving of the wardrobe or the wonderful terrace/balcony space. We were welcomed by Derick, who was our contact on the ground, but nevertheless Francesca always stayed in touch with me to see if we were fine. The apartment was a bit hot when we arrived, but as soon as we opened the windows and doors there was a nice breeze and it was easy to keep the house ventilated. Also, a BIG plus is that the beds and all windows have mosquito nets, so even if you leave them open, no problems with bites! Also, the accommodation is conveniently located near the beach, 3 mins away from „Watamu mall“ with a supermarket and a coffee shop, and a 15 min walk or short boda-drive from the centre. Overall a great price for value, I would definitely come again!

This place is very special and unique. The view from the house is amazing. In the morning you can observe the sunrise from bed. The bed is very big. You also have the possibility to cooķ but the kitchen is kept very simple. Its very save due to cameras and watchmen during night. Outside you have a table with 2 chairs in the shade and 2 sun loungers. Next to the house there is a bar. Food is a bit expensive there. The location of the house is almost 25 min by motorbike in the north of Watamu. Its a bit far from town but definately worth staying there for a few nights.
