Located on the ground floor, this spacious apartment has 2 bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, a living room, and a flat-screen TV. Guests can enjoy a meal on an outdoor dining area while overlooking the garden views. The property offers inner courtyard views.

I loved the spacious clean and beautifully decorated living areas with two very comfortable day beds with big cushions to relax into after exciting outings into Watamu or the idyllic Papa Remo beach and restaurant nearby. I loved being a stones throw from another wonderful restaurant for freshly squeezed juices, amazing coffees and meals. I loved sleeping contained in a four poster bed with netting keeping dodos out with the breeze and fan. I slept deeply every night. I loved swimming in the salt swimming pool that was deliciously cool in the heat of the day and at the same time warm first thing in the morning and at night. I loved how the grounds of the house were contained and beautifully cared for with mature frangipani trees and tropical flowers. We were cared for so kindly by Haloua who made our beds and washed our clothes and cleaned for us. We hired a cook who shopped and cooked incredible meals. I loved the fact that we were in a private domestic home environment and not a resort as we could feel very at home and we were welcomed so warmly. Aisha and Santiago are lovely people with so much generosity and kindness and they shared so much inside knowledge about the area that really informed our decisions and helped our orientation arriving in this magical area. They give us our own WiFi routers so we could seamlessly work from home or the beach. They knew all the wonderful places to see and visit which even in a month there’s still more on the list to see next time! They took us on safari in the huge forest nearby and to only known to locals a beautiful beach with white sands and incredible corals underwater. Aisha introduced us to the market stalls and abundant vegetable and fruit sellers. They helped us tune into the local economy so we understand prices. This is my favourite place in the planet !

Everything about Neverland was great! The facilities were top notch and the staff, Paola, Syria, and Chef Daniel were AMAZING! We were made to truly feel at home and they assisted with anything we needed. The pool is wonderful, we lost track of time playing in it. It is so easy to spend a whole day there. We miss it so much. We will definitely visit again!

Watamu Shell House is a real gem. We stayed there over an extended weekend and our kids (4 & 6) loved the place. The accommodation is superb, and the chef and the house-help were simply fabulous. They cooked some of the most delicious Italian meals, which we really enjoyed. Helga the host is very accommodating and tried her best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The beach is just 50 meters from the apartment and the two private pools are stunning. The property has small private beach, which was ideal for our kids as they played for hours in the sand. The apartment is 4-5 km away from the centre and can be accessed by Tuk-Tuk at a reasonable price (ksh 500/trip). It is a great place for young family and couples who want to have a quiet, relaxed holiday.

    The apartment was very clean. It's white in colour and it's clear to see the work done on cleanliness. The rooms are spacious and bed is quite big to fit 2 adults completely with good air conditioning. The property in a serene private location, just near the beach. We appreciated the flexibility for early and late check ins. All our request for items not available was done in a timely manner. We will definitely visit the place again.

    The penthouse apartment has everything you could think of for cooking, I even made my daughter a birthday cake while I was there! Each verandha looks onto the Indian ocean. Everything is well maintained and any issues were sorted quickly. Each room is large, has AC and fans to keep you cool.
