TBT Cozy cove is a 3 bedroom all ensuite bed and breakfast. We have spring mattresses in 2 bedrooms, comfy Dr mattresses in the 3rd, a clean fresh pool, amazing ambience, beautiful garden, great roof top for sunsets and relaxation, 5 mins from the beach, and delicious Swahili breakfast to offer. It's more than a stay; it's an experience where every detail is curated for your enjoyment and relaxation. Discover a different kind of retreat at The TBT Cozy Cove. Tucked away in a slice of paradise, our Bed and Breakfast is where fun meets fancy, and 'ordinary' isn't in our vocabulary. Think of us as your go-to for a stay that’s as chill as a hammock in the breeze, but as fancy as a diamond in the sun. Three's Company: Our trio of ensuite bedrooms are the ultimate chill zones. Decked out in décor that’s a high-five to style, each room is like a backstage pass to comfort central – so comfy, you might just sleep through your alarm (but hey, you’re on vacation, right?). Blue Lagoon Pool Party: Our pool isn’t just blue; it’s a splashy wonderland. Whether you’re perfecting your cannonball or lounging like a boss on a floatie, this is where the cool kids (a.k.a. you) hang out. Safe as a Bug in a Rug: We’re all about good vibes and safety here. It’s like staying at your coolest friend’s place, if your friend had top-notch security and an endless supply of snacks. Feast Your Eyes: Our décor is picture-worthy and as quirky as a cat wearing sunglasses. Every corner has a story, probably involving a travel adventure or a flea market find. Location? Prime Real Estate: We’re a stone’s throw from everything cool – hip malls, a beach that’s more like a desert oasis, and probably a secret passage to Narnia (we’re still looking for it). Sleep Like a Rockstar: Our mattresses are so plush, you’ll wake up wondering if you’re still dreaming. AC and fans? Check. It’s like sleeping in a climate-controlled bubble of awesome. Wi-Fi Faster Than Your Weekend Plans: Our internet is so fast, it’s already loaded this sentence. Stay connected, stream endlessly, and share those poolside selfies with zero delay. The Insider’s Scoop: Forget tourist traps; we’ve got the down-low on all the cool spots. From underground cafes to secret sunset points, we’re like your personal travel gurus. Rooftop Shenanigans: Yoga mats for sunrise stretches, a space for starlit game nights, or just a cool spot for a rooftop siesta – it’s your playground in the sky. Housekeeping Ninjas: Our cleaning crew is so quick and quiet; you’ll wonder if they’re part ninja. They keep everything spick and span, with a smile and stealth. Green is the New Black: Our B&B is so green, it would make a jungle jealous. It’s a little oasis of calm in a world that doesn’t know how to chill. Chef’s Kiss Meals: With a chef in the house, every meal is a mini food festival. Think global cuisine meets home-cooked goodness. Yum? More like yummm! The entire Villa, the pool, the garden area, the roof top and the Gazebo. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Food and drink - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Private beach nearby, white sand, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112050000/112041400/112041305/50da4ba4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Exploreans Malaika Villas & Beach Club Malindi - Pool - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 10 Exceptional 1 review £57 includes taxes & fees 10 Oct - 11 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=112041305&PinnedHotelID=112041305&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72920000/72914200/72914121/363bb5d3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonderful area as described.
