A fairytale day! Upon arrival we were greeted by smiling staff who escorted us to our second floor apartment. Here we found ourselves on a huge balcony, where we then dined with a view of the pool and the starry sky. The apartment was perfect: clean and with a nice flower arrangement on the bed to welcome us. The location is fantastic: just cross the road to get to one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu and in less than 5 minutes by motorbike or 15 on foot from the city center. In the staff there was even a cook, that based on our choice, made us a typical and cheap local dinner. To end our night we had a swim in the pool looking at the stars...a very special moment. We can only recommend Nadia & Ale house to everyone to be spoiled in a fabulous location.

We had an amazing stay at Beba’s beach house and particularly enjoyed the beauty of the house, the availability of the host, the cosiness of the room and the balcony, the generous and tasty breakfast with ocean view, the two friendly dogs and the access to the private beach of course. Beba helped us organizing a blue safari to see dolphins and to do snorkeling, which was amazing! You can also have lunch and diner at the property and the food was good! Thank you Beba, looking forward to coming back.
