The Kenyan coast is of course very hot. The rooms don't have A/C, but have fans. We had to get used to the heat at night for the first two days and after that it was fine.

The great location, the beautiful spacious rooms, the delicious food prepared by the staff, and the kindness of the staff, the owner and the two sweet dogs! I would definitely stay again when I come back to Watamu :)

We absolutely loved our stay at Beba Beach House. The location is beautiful, and right next to the beach. There are two reserved lounge chairs on the beach for you. The room has everything you need (including storage space!) and it’s decorated with taste. It is quiet and relaxing. We loved the view from the main balcony. James prepared us delicious and fresh meals in the morning, lunch and evening, and Beba helped us organize activities around. Overall, don’t hesitate to book at beba beach house ! Thank you very much Beba for the amazing stay.

N/A.

We had an excellent stay with Beba. After spending 4 days at a (more expensive) boutique hotel on the south side of Watamu, we planned to spend two nights at Beba Beach House. We enjoyed our visit so much that we extended by two nights. The food prepared by Chef James was the best we ate during our 8 day vacation - delicious and fresh. Our room was very comfortable and had air conditioning. The beach house is exactly as pictured, but more lovely in person. It is in an ideal and secure location just a minute away from the beach, also with pool access shared by other villas in the community. Beba is a very welcoming and accomodating hostess and the staff are excellent. I can't say enough good things about the food prepared by Chef James - breakfast each morning included fruit, juice pastries and eggs. I wish I had taken photos of the fish carpaccio, grilled seafood and vegetables we also enjoyed. Highly recommend! We hope to be back. Thank you, Beba!

Beba’s house is truly stunning! With breathtaking ocean views, a comfortable interior and terrasse, delicious food, and Beba’s warm hospitality, it’s an ideal spot for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. I highly recommend it!

Great location, few steps and you’re on the amazing beach. Very peaceful and absolutely gorgeous breathtaking view from the terrace. Thank you so much Roberta! We fell in love with the place. Jeff, thank you so much for delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners! Grilled octopus was heavenly delicious! Roberta arranged for our daughters henna artist and they were very happy. Additionally, she suggested to visit Gede Ruins and arranged transportation. Thank you again, Roberta for amazing time, great stay, and we are definitely coming back!

Nothing to dislike. Hot water, aircon and comfortable bed. All good.

The property was very clean, close to the beach and quiet. Very friendly staff and cute friendly pets. Food was good especially the fresh octopus which we had a few times. The pool is just one gate through from the property and relaxing under the trees was just what we needed. Thanks

The place was great, we loved it all. The ‘beach boys’ were a bit much (but this is not something Bebe can control)

Stunning location, with beach view and just steps to the sand Bebe and the team were super friendly and helpful Room was gorgeous, surrounding gardens too, and loved the pool Dinner available on your terrace, was lovely, romantic and really convenient Loved the dogs, who were super friendly and gorgeous

We stayed in the most expensive tripple room which is on the ground floor (like the other room with the garden view). The biggest problem we had was the lack of privacy. You are nearby the Beba's office and kitchen and you have no private terrace or balcony and during the day there are people behind all your windows (staff and other guests on the shared terrace). Because there is no AC you want to have the windows opened but then all the people can hear you (and you them). If you book one of the Deluxe rooms on the the first floor you won't have this problem. Also beware that the price for washing is per washed piece of clothing so if you have many things to wash you will pay a lot (we payed 20 euros). Also be prepared for a lot of beach boys outside who will try to sell you tour packages or just try to get money from you.

Fantastic restaurant with very good prices, smiling staff, wonderful beach, nice room interior.

Quite a long way from Watamu and a third of that distance was over some of the roughest road we have ever experienced - so rough that Ubers wouldn’t come to the property so it was either an expensive taxi ride or remaining captive to the near vicinity. Toiletries were advertised but existed of only a dispenser of the runniest soap imaginable. Hairdryer promised but never materialised. Advertised as 5 star but nowhere near that

The food provided by the chef James and his two helpers was excellent, and the service, cleaning and attitude from them couldn’t be faulted

Stayed in February 2024

We were missing shampoo and AC (there is a ceiling fan).

We loved the place from the moment we arrived! It's a beautiful house with 4 bedrooms (we stayed on the main floor) a few steps from the beach. Very comfy rooms with king bed size and exquisite design. Staff is very friendly and helpful :) Besides the accommodation i'd like to do a special mention to the food&beverage services: breakfast was fantastic, delicious and complete. We also had some meals at Beba's and I highly recommend to stay in and enjoy the menu, everything we ordered was delectable! The chef is really really good!

This so great place! We liked everything! The room is so beautiful, there is so big and beautiful terrace, the view from the terrace! The breakfast and dinner were served to our private table outside of our room. We could enjoy the view and privacy and it felt like five stars hotel, when James cooked so delicious food. Breakfast was also excellent! You are already on the beach, when you open the gate from the garden. The owner Beba runs this place with big heart!

I prefer the deluxe rooms upstairs, and was lucky enough to have an upgrade from my garden room downstairs as it was very hot. But I was there in January with 33degC heat! There is no aircon, but there are fans in every room, and a delicious cool breeze upstairs on the terrace.

What an absolute gem! If you are lucky enough to find availability at Beba’s gorgeous beach house, don’t hesitate. It is absolutely wonderful - a real quality home, full of love and care and the most amazing staff. Beba is often around to check in, with her adorable two dogs, but if she’s not there, the staff are always ready to help with anything you need. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious and the chef James is brilliant and makes great dinner dishes if you decide to stay in, definitely worth it! Snacks and lunch, plus a wide selection of drinks are available to order. It’s in an incredible location just a few steps from the beach, gorgeous rooms (especially upstairs with its own wonderful shady and cool terrace), fabulous food and plenty to see and do. The walks out to the sandbanks at low tide are incredible- and high tide brings swimming, kite surfing, and plenty of action. There are some beach bars and restaurants nearby (you can hear music after 10am but it’s off by 10pm) and then it’s blissfully quiet.

The chef James was very nice and friendly and prepared excellent food. It was a great pleasure and very convenient to eat on the terrasse.

Nothing really. It is the perfect spot for relaxing.

From the moment I arrived, Beba upgraded my room which was grest as the ocean view was fabulous. The room is spotless clean. Very elegantly decorated. Staff were very helpful. The villa is gorgeous. A few meters away from the beach. The private beach made my stay fantastic and ensured privacy. The pool was just the right spot to disconnect from the world. Breakfast was delicious and portions were huge. India and Gold ( the dogs 🐕) were definitely a huge plus. I loved their presence and played with them. The entire experience was very unique, authentic and relaxing 😌 I highly recommend it 👌 as a solo traveler, this felt do safe. Thank you Beba for taking care of things and understanding.

The only things that were annoying were the Booking.com description mentioned free round trip airport transfer and free massage but these were actually not included and are a mistake that Booking.com have not rectified. Also the wifi does not work in the upstairs rooms and is not reliable on the terrace either.

The villa is beautiful. It is so stylish, comfortable, spacious and relaxing. The food is amazing. James the lunch/dinner chef cooks everything to perfection. The two ladies who do breakfast ad look after the housekeeping are also very good. The pool is so warm, surrounded by beautiful flowers to. Best thing about Beba Beach House is the two dogs India and Goldie. They are very much part of the villa and will seek you out. I miss them a lot. Beba is very friendly and a great and helpful host.

The villa is beautiful. We got the two rooms at the first floor. They were spacious, clean and lovely. A lot of privacy and great views of the ocean. It is right at the beach front and it’s beautiful. The host Beba was very helpful and welcoming, the staff especially James and Penina were lovely.

Very beautiful house with pool overlooking the sea. We enjoyed the huge terrace, half-covered so that we could spend our days in the shade. The design of the whole place is exceptional and both the host and staff were adorable.
