Such a wonderful stay. Please don't hesitate to book, the place is even nicer than the pictures. Merci the house keeper was so lovely and ensured everything was perfect for us, including doing daily washing. Kelvin the chef was brilliant, make sure to book him.

“Highly recomended for young families and couples who want to have a quiet, relaxed holiday.”
Watamu Shell House is a real gem. We stayed there over an extended weekend and our kids (4 & 6) loved the place. The accommodation is superb, and the chef and the house-help were simply fabulous. They cooked some of the most delicious Italian meals, which we really enjoyed. Helga the host is very accommodating and tried her best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The beach is just 50 meters from the apartment and the two private pools are stunning. The property has small private beach, which was ideal for our kids as they played for hours in the sand. The apartment is 4-5 km away from the centre and can be accessed by Tuk-Tuk at a reasonable price (ksh 500/trip). It is a great place for young family and couples who want to have a quiet, relaxed holiday.
