4-bedroom Beachfront Villa in Msambweni

10/10 Excellent
"We spent a wonderful few days at Sansuri and we could not recommend it more highly. Great communication from the hosts Hezron & Judy even before arrival so we knew what to expect and giving options for transportation and a personal chef.The location is truly special and away from the hotels, tourists, touts etc of some other locations. It is a natural beach, so some seaweed and sharp corals are to be expected. I recommend water shoes.On site we were well taken care of by Jalali a true professional, giving us plenty of space and privacy to enjoy a small family reunion while at the same time always close at hand to answer questions, organize transport etc etc. Finally we did take advantage of the optional chef for one day. More than worth the small cost. He was spot on with nyama choma, and our favorite seafood dishes (tuna in coconut curry & calamari). "
