The house overall was as advertised it had a bit outdated/older bedding & nets with holes in them but not a huge issue just an easy thing to replace to make it a bit nicer.
The main issue was water from the second day there was intermittent water. We were informed this was due to power being low voltage or off and since a pump got water to the house. Though other units in the compound near had power and water. The property director/on the grounds manager was not very helpful in quickly fixing the issues raised. On the third day all of power went out in Watamu, that we understood since we know Kenya Power was the issue. But 2 days without water for 6 people is a real issue since we needed it to bath and cook among other things.
In addition the chef that was recommended Alex was not very good at all. We had purchased items and had very basic Swahili items on the menu and he was still struggling to make them in a timely manner or tasty. We also realized that we was taking some food for himself and other workers, we would have given him some of the food if he had just asked but he did not.
Overall I would not recommend this place unless they get a back-up generator or fix the water only working if there is power. I would also suggest finding a different chef than the one recommended.

The villa is beautiful, the staff helpful and Marco is quick to resolve any issue. Wonderful place, well priced for a group with about a ten minute walk to beach access. See you soon!

We sincerely enjoyed our 1 week vacation. Erasmus - the chef took very well care of us. The house and pool was as the pictures shows - maybe even nicer. Beautiful Watamu Bay just around the corner. Great restaurants just in a few minutes drive away. Same for a great supermarket Blue Marmelade.
I can just recommend this place - we will for sure come back.
PS. Just one side note - be careful with a guy named Joffre who walks in and out of the compound to sell excursions to you. He is not sincere. Offers bad even unsafe trips. Better plan ahead your fishing or snorkeling trip with other operators.

Well, the villa was lovely and the people are lovely to. However we did have 2 little issues. Firstly, on our arrival we were shown 2 bedrooms. I asked where is the third bedroom and was told it was occupied by other people. I rented the whole villa which comprised of 3 bedrooms. I was told because there were only 4 of us we didn’t need the 3rd bedroom. I was not happy. I purposely booked accommodation with 3 bedrooms because i didn’t want my father to share a bedroom with my daughter as he snores! David the manager was very apologetic and said they will move out in 2 days time. My father slept on the sofa for those 2 nights. My second issues is, listed in the description is a washing machine. There was not! There is a very good laundry service which charge a small amount but that isn’t the point. I couldn’t wash my beach towels or clothes as i would have like. This didn’t spoil my holiday but Marco please change the description to Laundry service available. Now, having mentioned my 2 issues the rest of the holiday was fantastic! The villa was kept very clean, the beds are comfortable, the outside space is great and the staff are super lovely. There are plenty of restaurants but I recommend ordering a taxi and getting them to pick you a restaurant. We were taken to some great places that you wouldn’t see from the road. All the locals are friendly and they made us feel welcome where ever we went. We met a guide on the beach called Jodfrey on day 2 and he took us on a blue safari, definitely recommend this. No need to book excursion through travel companies, it nicer to book though the locals as the money goes straight to them. Would we go back to Watamu? Yes definitely. Would we recommend this villa? Yes definitely.
