villa with large garden 500 meters from the sea 2 bedrooms
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"The house is very nice, old and stylish and so is the garden with plants and trees that are characteristic of the Kenya coast. I know that the owner wants to build a pool this spring, which would make the house perfect during the hot and humid days of the hotter season. More electric fans in the house would help to sleep when there is a little breeze in that area. However, Thoya, the house boy is a very kind and helpful man, and he can be an excellent cook on request. Sincerely, Aleksandra"

"Nyumba Sara was a wonderful place to enjoy our holiday. A beautiful, elegant home with a lovely terrace to capture the seabreeze, relaxing view of the ocean from the upstairs bedrooms, and a one minute walk to the beach. The house staff took care of us like family and the chef's cooking was five stars- we ate like kings with fresh seafood deliciously prepared every day. It was hard to leave :)"

"The house overall was as advertised it had a bit outdated/older bedding & nets with holes in them but not a huge issue just an easy thing to replace to make it a bit nicer. The main issue was water from the second day there was intermittent water. We were informed this was due to power being low voltage or off and since a pump got water to the house. Though other units in the compound near had power and water. The property director/on the grounds manager was not very helpful in quickly fixing...

"We stayed in a 2 bed apartment which was well appointed and extremely spacious with a huge balcony (sadly not much sun as facing east) but overlooking the Indian Ocean. The bathrooms were good though beginning to look a little tired otherwise the apartment was fabulous. Plenty of bottled water provided each day and milk, tea and coffee (instant only). Substantial breakfast with plenty of options provided each morning. Lovely little coffee shop selling variety of cakes and muffins, coffee etc and...

"This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had.
