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

Great customer service, clean space

Beautiful space that is conveniently located.

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.

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!

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!

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.

The home is absolutely stunning, furnished with an earthy warm touch that draws you in. The views of the ocean were beautiful and beyond compare. Helen was the housekeeper we found and she was great. kept the house clean and fresh daily. And chef David made the most scrumptious meals. Norbert's house is a real hidden gem. We loved it.

Our stay at Daniela's place was great, the house and rooms are beautifully decorated and professionally cleaned by the staff everyday. We also enjoyed the large spacious garden, the friendly dogs and the pool for relaxing in. We were well taken care of by the chef and the rest of the staff who made our stay very comfortable and helped with everything we needed. The location is also decent with it not being far from restaurants and other attractions in Malindi town as well as the beach and beach restaurants. Overall, I'd say it's a good option if you're looking for a place to stay on holiday in Malindi.

Great house to spend time with family and Friends ! We loved The location on the beach, near a kitesurf spot, the swimming pool, the staff… Thank you, Flore

Wow! We loved our stay. The house is beautiful and open, verandas looking out to the ocean, nice pool, very clean and comfortable. Out the gardens gate and you are essentially right at a fantastic beach - great to explore and wade at low tide, great swimming at high tide, and white sand always. The chef made us a range of delicious dishes (seafood at our request) and everyone was extremely hospitable and helpful. Highly recommend.

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

The stay at the apartment was lovely, kind and very helpful staff. The apartment was clean, amazing pool and location. I really can’t emphasise how good the pool was. This is definitely my go to place in Watamu. Our stay at the apartment was absolutely fantastic! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, making our entire experience truly memorable. The apartment was spotless, and the location was simply perfect. But the real star of the show was the pool - it was amazing! I couldn’t stop talking about it. This place is definitely my go-to spot in Watamu.

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.
