We had an excellent stay with Beba. After spending 4 days at a (more expensive) boutique hotel on the south side of Watamu, we planned to spend two nights at Beba Beach House. We enjoyed our visit so much that we extended by two nights. The food prepared by Chef James was the best we ate during our 8 day vacation - delicious and fresh. Our room was very comfortable and had air conditioning. The beach house is exactly as pictured, but more lovely in person. It is in an ideal and secure location just a minute away from the beach, also with pool access shared by other villas in the community. Beba is a very welcoming and accomodating hostess and the staff are excellent. I can't say enough good things about the food prepared by Chef James - breakfast each morning included fruit, juice pastries and eggs. I wish I had taken photos of the fish carpaccio, grilled seafood and vegetables we also enjoyed. Highly recommend! We hope to be back. Thank you, Beba!

This is honestly one of the best places I've ever stayed, I didn't want to leave! So relaxed and quiet with wonderful staff (especially Seline). Your stress levels just disappear as soon as you arrive! Swimming pool was a great way to cool off after being out for the day. The room was big and comfortable, no mosquitoes. Food was delicious! It is a mile or two from the beach but you can get there in a tuk tuk easily. The beaches and snorkeling are stunning and Gedi ruins are also well worth a visit.

    We arrived at Tembo Village and directly felt welcomed. Jojo the manager showed us the whole comport, our room and gave us a lot of informations about Watamu. We had our own kitchen and a outside livingroom. It was all clean and comfortable. We extended our 3 nights stay and ended up staying with her for 2 weeks. The pool was big and clean.

    We had an amazing stay in Rischland Villas. Althought we booked very last minute, the host was super nice and accommodating and the house personnel made the house available just in time for our arrival. The villa is really a paradise and we could enjoy the swimming pool all by ourselves. The beach is at a walking distance and nearby are also many bazaars. We would love to come back here one day!

    Lauren was a super host, helped me with all I needed (boda boda - local moto taxi, beach suggestions, reservations) and engaging in great conversations while preparing my breakfast. I went during the low season (june) and having the place basically for me was the best experience... there was another guest in the villa, but we met only once, so pool and facilities were all free which allowed me to really rest and enjoy my vacations.
