Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Watamu Beach

we stayed at Angela's cottage for 3 Nights. she was very prompt to respond to any concerns. our entire stay was a great one. Surprised that even locals do not know about this local gem of a place. I would highly recommend staying at this cottage. we had a great time with family. checks off all the boxes from privacy, cleanliness, comfort, fun. thank you. Shirin - Canada

I had a very pleasant stay here. It was peaceful and comfortable, clean and friendly. Emma was always around and helpful. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit. Thank you Ilias 🙂

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!

The host was more than helpful, we really enjoyed our stay, we won't mind coming back again.

Shiku was very responsive & helpful. the location is easily accessible from Malindi town. and there's food & entertainment joints closeby. great stay.

My stay here was lovely. The staff were always responsive and so kind. The apartment was gorgeous and wonderful. Had a slight snag with power but they quickly responded to it which adds to the great customer service they had.

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.

Thanks for the hospitality! We had a great stay here. Had our own private roof terrace which was very chilled and comfortable. 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.

We had a wonderful experience at Geoffrey's Airbnb. The location is perfect-centrally situated, making it incredibly easy to access all the places we planned to visit in Watamu. Check-in was a breeze, and Geoffrey was an excellent host, always avallable to help and quick to respond to any questions we had. The added perks of the on-site restaurant and pool made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxed and convenient trip!

Tess’s place is beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect retreat, whether for a vacation or a work trip like mine. From the moment I expressed interest in the house, Tess’s responsiveness and attention to detail were exceptional. She provided all the necessary information to ensure a comfortable stay and even shared additional details for my team, making the entire process seamless. Her prompt communication and willingness to assist reassured me that we had chosen the right place. Tess and her team, led by Daniel the Chef, went above and beyond by curating a tailor-made menu for us. Since we were busy with work, not having to worry about meals was a huge relief. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. We are already looking forward to returning to Serenity, especially since we didn’t get a chance to explore the activities Tess recommended. Her in-depth knowledge of Malindi and its best experiences is truly impressive, and we can’t wait to experience more on our next visit

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.

A beautifully decorated house placed on a windy corner overlooking the sea. The house has 3 balconies and is big and comfortable and can easily fit 6 people. It has quality funitures and a big well-equipped kitchen. The indoor temperature is very nice because of the wind. We felt sad to leave this luxurious house and plan to come back again for another great stay.

Tembo villa is a lovely, welcoming place to stay near the center of Watamu. My room was huge with a spacious communal living area shared only by one other room. It was up on the 1st floor overlooking a beautiful clean pool. The staff were incredibly friendly & Jojo, the manager, is a bright & very helpful young woman happy to accomodate all my needs. Its value for money is excellent, one of the cheaper places to stay in Watamu & worth every penny. The king size bed was very comfortable, with a mosquito net provided & a fan overhead. The bathroom spacious & clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to make meals & coffee. I highly recommend this lovely place you wont regret it

We had great time. Very convenient to reach the tourist attractions and restaurants. The host was super and responded promptly.

Rita was an absolutely wonderful host. She allowed us to check in earlier since we were travelling from far. In fact , she was awake when we arrived early in the morning to usher us in. The house was clean, spacious and super beautiful. The surrounding were green and well maintained. The staff at the house were really helpful and the place felt very secure. We enjoyed our stay at this house. We enjoyed the food that was prepared for us by the host and the chill and relaxing atmosphere created for the guest. I would highly recommend this place and I will be back again soon. Thank you for making our stay in Watamu memorable.

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

Very beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Friendly staff. Walking distance to the beach, with nice restaurants and local shops in between.

The apartment Isigi rented was very nice and well located to the beach, downtown, and the airport. He himself was very friendly and even upgraded our room by surprise. We arrived late on the day of our check-in but had no problem accessing the apartment thanks to the helpful security staff. The apartment was exactly what we expected, and I'd recommend this place to anyone who visits Malindi.
