Fully furnished self catering villa with swimming pool and berbeque area. It's next to Watamu mall, Crystal Bay and Papa Remo resorts. Its touching the Jakaranda tarmac road and 2 minutes walk to the beach with a balcony ocean view. Staff are available for cleaning and catering at a paid fee. Available parking space and free wifi. Restaurants, water sports and boat rides to Mida island organized on arrival. It can sleep up to 10 people 2 rooms for couples and 3rd family room for 6 people with big bed and 2 bunk beds.-Special arrangements can be organized on request.
I love music, travelling and interacting with different cultures.
The area is rich in culture which is an attraction to visitors. The ocean is a few meters away and has several water bays. Watamu center is about 250 meters away.
