“Nice oasis in Watamu”
The host and the staff were absolutely helpful and friendly. The pool was perfect with the kids, and we really appreciated the cosy and flowery backyard. The house was very confortable, and the bed net were impeccable (no holes and very resistant, which was perfect with kids!).

“We loved the house and would very happily come back here again.”
Property was well set up, with air con in all bedrooms. Chef provided was very good and helped keep the relaxed atmosphere. Owners are. very nice people who live just next door, and are happy to greet customers as they arrive. They'll organise anything you want during the stay, and work to ensure you have a great time. Property was kept very clean and tidy, and kids absolutely loved the swimming pool in the back garden!

The property was a bit difficult to find due to the address on the app taking you to a different location but the owner was really helpful in coming to find us and taking us to the correct address. The villa is quite big and can fit up to 8 people comfortably. It’s also close to the beach and the owner was kind and helpful which made the stay even better.

“Beautiful villa in the heart of Watamu with an epic pool & garden!”
A truly wonderful stay, so many special memories made. From the moment of booking, the owners Martin and Daisy were really helpful, offering to get us supplies for our arrival and sort transfers, the help continued throughout our stay, providing us great tips for the area and sorting tuk tuks etc. The house exceeded expectations, it’s nice and spacious and cleaned daily. It’s in a peaceful area and very secure, close to the beach and popular spots in Watamu. The pool is a great size and cleaned daily with a beautiful surrounding garden to relax in, including Sun beds, a swinging bench (great morning coffee spot!) and outdoor dining area. We spent most evenings out here having night swims and had takeaway from the owners Resteraunt ‘Mama Kuku’, lovely local food, cheap and deliver - great when you have children and don’t want to head out for food all the time. We were sad to leave! But we’ll definitely be back. Thank you Martin & Daisy, we look forward to visiting again :)

“We had a very memorable stay with my family of 5 kids (8 to 1yo), notwithstanding our humble budget.”
The location was alright: very accessible from watamu town, walking distance to the beach and very serene environment. Also the swimming pool was amazing.

“One of the best places we have ever stayed as a family. Dezi and Martin are excellent hosts!”
An exceptionally well constructed house with an incredibly hospitable family as hosts. The house is located just a hundred meters or so from the main tarred road. The facilities include everything you would need for a pleasant stay. Amenities all over the house, this impressed us!

“Was great, would definitely recommend.”
The house in itself was exceptional. The pool was rather big and constantly maintained which made it ideal to swim in regularly. Furthermore, there were 4 double beds available making it rather spacious and ideal for our party of 4. The location was exquisite, especially as the supermarket Blue Marmalade was only a 20-minute walk away.

“Amazing stay! What a holiday get away!”
We had a wonderful stay in this villa, the owner picked us from the airport , he was very freindly, very polite, he took us to the provision shop where we bought the food stuffs that we needed for our one week stay, he then drove us to the villa which was very clean warm and homely, this villa is great for families or groups, we loved the town, the resorts bars and restaurants are amazing, the pool in the villa is great, the villa came with a chef who cooked for us the local delicacies which is mainly fish 🐟 , prawns, King fish etc, we attended the local Giriama festival, beach parties 🥳 etc ... in general we had an amazing time ❤️ 😍 💖
