About this house rental

Located in Malindi, this attractive house for $339 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. This unique beach house, which sleeps up to ten people, is situated at the beginning of a 16km white sand beach ending at Watamu. We can accommodate a further two beds in the master suite if needed. The three-floor beach house is located on a private ten-acre walled estate and fronts this isolated beach and beautiful turquoise blue inner reef at Leopard Point, just outside Mayungu. The beach is protected by a reef from the Indian Ocean and is perfect snorkelling and wind surfing territory. The house has an internal phone system that is in every room throughout the house and staff quarters. The house comes with five permanent staff including a Housekeeper, Houseboy, Gardener and two Askari, whom provide 24 hour security 7 days a week. The house has every modern amenity including mobile key internet connection, direct dial telephones, TV with DSTV satellite service. This comes with a full package of foreign language stations, news, sports and movie channels. We have a DVD and a DVD collection, an iPod music system as well as a CD driven system. Malindi and Watamu are rightly world famous for their deep-sea fishing and scuba diving, they should be known for their wind and kite surfing as well. The Beach House is situated on the edge of the national marine park which includes the locally famous “Sardinia Due” sandbanks, where a boat picnic is a good way to spend part of the day. Swimming with dolphins and the occasional whale shark is a short boat ride away. Whether you’d like a luxury spa, a wild life safari, an alternative culture tour, a relaxing massage, a deep sea fishing trip, a celebration party, boat charter, wind and kite surfing or snorkelling, everything is possible, and we will be happy to help you organize it. The house is two hours from East Tsavo, a national game reserve, or just twenty minutes from the local bird and butterfly sanctuary. The Gede Ruins and Mida Creek are 30 minutes away. There are day trips available to Che Shale and the Sabaki River, Robinson Island and Wasini Island are is just twenty minutes by chartered aircraft from Malindi Airport. The Beach House comes with an excellent housekeeper, Rehema. She will organise your shopping trips to town and act as your guide with advice on where to go..She will do all your laundry on request. She is an occasional cook and does a mean spaghetti ragu! Ali, the houseboy is there to help you in any way possible. He is your butler, waiter, grill man! Ask Ali the evening before if you want fresh fish or lobster the following day, and he will tell the fishermen. John is in charge of the gardens, should you want a particular flower in your room or at dinner, just ask Rehema and John will pick them for you. We have two Askari providing around the clock security, they are backed up by Don and Gone the house dogs - not guard dogs and are safe with children and adults. They're more of an alarm system! The property is swept through and the beds made everyday. Should you require fresh sheets or towels just ask Rehema. Additional staff such as a cook, waiters, or drivers, can all be easily arranged on request. The Beach House is on mains electric, but with it’s own standby electrical generator, plus a dedicated laundry room and servants quarters. We have ample freezer space if required. The property has a 4x4, which is available to rent for an additional €50 per day including a driver (Ali), just return it with a full tank. Or self drive cars and 4x4's are available for hire in Malindi Town. You will need transport while staying at The Beach House. There is a nine hole Golf Course in Malindi approximately 15km from the Beach House.

Located of the house is fantastic, on the beach next to a calm and warm sea perfect for toddlers! House was spacious and offred some nice rooms. The stairs were not convenient, very steep and high, not nice for a toddler or high heels. Chef cooks very well but you really have to double check what you agreed with her every day. Covid measures were unfortunately ignored. Hygiene was poor in the kitchen. House in general was dusty and had sticky railings along the stairs etc. Compound was messy with lots of debris next to the house and servant quarters.

Sian who manages this property was very helpful and informative. Rehema and Ali were great hosts and very accommodating from before we arrived till even after we left! The house was pretty clean (considering it is on the beach and everything) and atmosphere was amazing. We had some issues with the wifi but it was no big deal since we were there to chill anyway. There were a few things we noticed that was not available despite the listing descriptions, such as bottled waters, paper towels, washing machine, etc., so we had to spend a little extra time running errands once we got there. However, it was nice of Rehema, Ali, and Samuel to help us with basically whatever we needed, including groceries, etc. They helped us find fresh produce at a great price and even showed us where to get fresh octopus and helped us with grilling it! The place could use one more inside bathroom for the people staying in the tower room, but otherwise easily accommodated the 9 adults and 2 kids we had comfortably. I'd say this was overall a wonderful experience and we would probably book this place again if we went back to Malindi. My advice would be to talk to Sian and Rehema at least a couple of weeks in advance to work out the details. They were great!

Una casa maravillosa en un lugar idílico. Fue una semana de relax sobre la playa en un lugar solitario, justo lo que buscábamos. La casa está perfectamente acondicionada y mantenida por el personal de servicio de la propiedad. Es un lugar ideal para aquellos que rehúyen de la masificación de los hoteles y zonas turísticas. Volveremos.
