This place was very spacious, clean, safe and modern with a very beautiful interior and exterior. We used the amazing pool everyday. The beach is a short walk away and the main road is even closer with motorbike taxis or tuktuks always available to can take you anywhere further. A cleaner was arranged twice over our 4 night stay which was perfect, also with fresh sheets and towels. A security guard is there every night, who was also a very kind man. If we ever come back to Watamu, we will be staying here.

Serenity, coziness , simple details, plants, carefully decorated rooms and essential lights everywhere ☀️ Neutral interior colors and pleasant zones for your comfort and privacy will let you get relaxed gently 🪷 every room has a big terrace and well equipped bathrooms 💦 And the highest floor ambience took my heart forever ☺️ breathtaking sunrise~sunset~ocean views and fresh air adventure spirit of the house encourages 🪽 The kitchen has everything you need for cooking as well as coffee machine and blender , also potable water is provided. It’s a pleasure to cook there and have a dinner on the terrace 🥹 Easy to get from the Malindi airport ~ 20 mins by car . We rented a car in advance / it’s cheaper than taxi and pretty convenient to explore the village , and you have private parking near property /🦏 The most beautiful Watamu beach is just in 2 mins walking distance by short path surrounded by green garden 🌿 Ash is a great host, always online to help! His house is so consciously organized !!! Perfect quality of everything you use are surprising, unexpected details prove that the owner definitely ,,thinks outside the box,,😎 I highly recommend to stay here and enjoy every moment ☺️🌿

It is nearly impossible to describe our lovely time at Chris House. The house is very beautiful and always clean, and the staff were exceptional and very helpful. It felt like home ( a gorgeous one). The house is close to the main road, the beach is close by - literally like 5 minutes walk. Chef Ndume made us very tasty meals. The host was always available on call and via chat and our requests were always honoured. We truly appreciate Giovanna for her kindness and the warm welcome to Chris House. I would recommend Chris House to anyone visiting Watamu. It was truly worth it. <3
