We had an amazing stay at this lovely three-bedroom home. The house is spacious, clean, and homely which made us comfortable from the moment we arrived. The swimming pool was a huge highlight—our kids absolutely loved it and would spend hours in the water. They honestly didn’t want to leave! The location is quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Our host was exceptional. Not only were they polite, responsive, and always ready to help, but they even baked a cake for us—a thoughtful gesture that made our stay feel extra special. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, relaxation, and an amazing host. We would definitely love to return!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this wonderful villa. Patricia stayed in touch through out and helped facilitate airport transfer. everything was smooth until we checked in. Patricia and her staff have outstanding customer service. They went above and beyond everyday to ensure a smooth stay and the chef made delicious meals . We loved the place, it’s spotless clean has an amazing pool and inviting garden.it looks exactly as captured in the pictures if not better. our only regret was staying for a short time.

Rating: 10/10 Pure Bliss & Comfort – Perfect Group Getaway We were a group of three adults visiting from Tanzania, and this villa truly impressed us. As frequent travelers, we’ve stayed in quite a few places — but this one stood out for all the right reasons. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and professionalism, and the space looked even better than the photos. The villa is immaculately clean, beautifully furnished, and incredibly spacious. Each of us had our own large, comfortable room, and the air conditioning and WiFi worked perfectly. The attention to detail in the design and setup made it feel like a luxury home away from home. The private pool area was a major highlight — peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for quality time together. Another sweet touch was the friendly dogs within the compound. They were calm, well-behaved, and made the environment feel even more warm and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that feels both elegant and homey — but this villa nailed it. As Tanzanian travelers who explore often, we can confidently say this is one of the best villa experiences we’ve had in the region. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a private, stylish, and serene escape in Mombasa.
