Terrible and a scam! We were placed in a house that was not the one in the photos. It’s not even a question of a worn down condition of the same house the owner took the liberty to place my party including (3) children in one of two houses in the property with the shared pool and didn’t confess until the end of 1st night when I called her over to ask what was going on as the condition and the design were completely different. Of course full payment was completed and she told a bogus story that our hose had AC that worked; while the house we booked had issues. In reality the house we stayed in was run down, had 2 live wasps nests, low water pressure, no AC even though she claimed it did. It was so bad we took the risk of losing all our money and left after one night. This house is posted under (2) different names on Expedia including “Villakwetu” so the bad reviews are not visible to all..don’t be fooled. Having been traveling to the Kenyan coast for almost a decade and using Expedia for 20 years I am appalled the owner could get away with stealing the money and not being forced to verify the claims on VRBO. Buyers beware!

What makes this property unique

The Cottage (300 sqm) with pool and the guest cottage were built in 2012 and are less than 500 m from the white dream beach of the Indian Ocean at 'Diani Beach' and approx. 35 km from the animal paradise "Shimba Hills". It is a closed, exclusive private facility that can only be rented to one person, couple, group or family either in the main cottage or in the guest house, would guests require privacy while in either, a small fee is applicable.

Diving in Kenya: On the fine, white sandy beach of Galu Beach you can not only relax wonderfully, but also snorkel or scuba dive at the and of course excellent international diving centers. For example: At 'Diani Marine' you will find a professional crew with first-class equipment from Mares. From the beginner course to the diving instructor training and everything is offered.

Deep sea fishing in Kenya: Diani Beach has some of the best deep sea fishing grounds in the world: marlin (blue, strippe and black), sailfish, shark, wahoo, dorado, barracuda, kingfish, tuna and many more species of fish. Kenya is without a doubt a paradise for deep sea fishing. The fishing grounds at 'Pemba

Safari in Kenya 'The cradle of mankind': They differ, they have one thing in common - they are unique in the world and they all offer something special. All different habitats are represented, from the desert and mountain forest to water protection areas on the Indian Ocean. You don't have to do without comfort during a safari. Most lodges and tented camps are luxury accommodations where nothing is lacking. We would be happy to advise you.

... and don't forget: Diani Beach is one of the 5 best KITESURF spots in the world. The best wind season is from December to March and a slightly weaker wind season is from June to September.
