Apartment vacation rentals in Watamu

Solana House is simply amazing! The friendliest and the nicest staff, always helpful, smiling, very proactive and flexible. There was no problem with checking in earlier and basically no problem with anything :) the room and all other space were super clean always and the whole stay in general was very lovely, I know I’m coming back there soon :) really recommend this place!

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!

Safety is very important to me as I have had problems at other locations; Nathan's place has 24/7 security and is very secure.

This place is an absolute gem. My girlfriend and I had to extend our stay and needed a quite place to work remotely. This was it! Very peaceful, great internet and very temperate (never got too hot). Philippe, the host, was super responsive and very accomodating to our needs. Also the kitchen was superb, for any foody looking for a well equipped kitchen, this is the place. As for the location, it is very central, a 5 minute walk to both beaches, a new cafe just opened up on the corner for those looking for fresh croissants in the morning and there is a great gym about 1 minutes walk from the apartment. Loved it... and we will be back :)

Caroline is an exceptional host and this space is extremely comfortable. The pool is clean, access to great amenities and a very nice deck. I’d love to visit again.

We stayed only one night due to an emergency but Gianluca and Vivian were great hosts. I would recommend them and the apartment as a base for exploring Watamu.

The place is absolutely stunning—far more magnificent than what the images show. It was such a beautiful surprise! I would strongly recommend this location to anyone looking for a getaway. It’s very family-friendly, making it an ideal destination for families. The host was incredibly responsive and always available to communicate whenever needed. Gladys and Freddy were both very supportive and helpful. My family had an amazing time, and we’ll cherish the memories we made here. Thank you Antonio♥️

Asia's place is perfect. Worth the price. Not far from Malindi international airport which is veryy convenient. Its also quite easy to find transport to wherever place you want to go. There are nearby restaurants with clean, good and fresh food for those lazy to cook, like me 🤣. The studio has a very nice view and a clean and well maintained swimming pool. It has beachfront access. Vasco da gama pillar, the portuguese chapel, very famous tourist sites, are literally walking distance from the place. Yohh, this place is a 5 star . Waayy worth the price and Asia is also perfect and very responsive and a kind person🤍. Will definitely recommend the place to others and whenever I want to visit Malindi/Watamu I will consider the place.

A little slice of paradise—peaceful, relaxing, and set in a beautiful garden with multiple seating areas and a great pool to cool off in. The apartment itself is well-equipped and feels like a home away from home. It’s separate from where Esther lives next door, so you have plenty of privacy, but she’s always available if you need anything. We rented a motorbike which made getting around really easy—exploring different beaches, restaurants, the supermarket, and even the gym. Esther is a fantastic host—warm, friendly, and always happy to help. Watamu has a lot to offer, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

I loved our stay here great service, kind hospitable,clean and close to social amenities. Very peaceful and quiet. 100% going back when I am in the area. Definitely recommend.

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

We had a wonderful stay at Graham's property. The space was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The host was very accommodating, providing clear instructions and quick communication throughout my stay. The location was ideal, offering both convenience and tranquility. Thank you for providing such a great place to stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this lovely place in Malindi, and it was spectacular. From the moment we arrived, Sila went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The property itself is a gem –Very Spacious ,impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal, offering an easy access to the supermarket,Banks,the beach, Both African and Italian restaurants Surprisingly our host organized for us a local tour to the Gedi Ruin, Hell's kitchen in Marafa and Mambrui Sand dunes. Sila provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, activities, and hidden gems that truly enhanced our experience. What truly sets this Airbnb apart is the exceptional hospitality. Sila was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our trip memorable. Alex,the errand/ motorcycle guy who was recommended to us was also very reliable, honest and fast whenever we needed him to ge
