Review: I recently stayed in Watamu at the beautiful villa called Airamjudi, and it was an exceptional experience. The villa offers all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay: the room was well-furnished, spacious, and equipped with everything I could ask for. The location is perfect for those looking for tranquility but still want the convenience of getting around easily. The area is peaceful and safe, and it’s very easy to move around thanks to the availability of tuk-tuks and motorbikes. Plus, the villa is located right in front of Fortamu Beach, which is easily reachable on foot—a huge bonus! One of the highlights of my stay was the fantastic pool, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere of the villa. I had an amazing time and will definitely return. I highly recommend Airamjudi to anyone looking for a perfect combination of relaxation, comfort, and natural beauty!

The apartment was clean and beautifully curated. Some of the most incredible artwork I have seen in a rental apartment. The cleaner Winnie was fabulous and we were also tipped off on an excellent masseuse. I received excellent guidance on restaurants in the area too! Thank you Ash for setting up everything so well for us.

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

A real gem! The place is beautiful, tranquil and has everything you need. We stayed for 5 nights and could have stayed for weeks... The swimming pool is gorgeous, the house is very comfortable. Caretaker Vincent is just amazing. He is extremely helpful and can arrange anything (ordering taxi's/tuktuks/bodas, preparing the BBQ, cleaning, washing and so on). He's certainly a huge asset to the property. Same for Asya, she's fabulous!
