Gorgeous and comfortable apartment with a nice swilling pool. Restaurants and the beach are close but the resort itself is relaxed and calm. The staff is really amazing and is ready to help at any time and it's possible to hire a chef with excellent cooking skills if you want to enjoy a meal at your own apartment. The communication with the owner was also very good.

It is nearly impossible to describe our lovely time at Chris House. The house is very beautiful and always clean, and the staff were exceptional and very helpful. It felt like home ( a gorgeous one). The house is close to the main road, the beach is close by - literally like 5 minutes walk. Chef Ndume made us very tasty meals. The host was always available on call and via chat and our requests were always honoured. We truly appreciate Giovanna for her kindness and the warm welcome to Chris House. I would recommend Chris House to anyone visiting Watamu. It was truly worth it. <3

    Julie & her team were most attentive, welcoming and accomodating to our requests and questions and made our stay wonderful. It is definitely a kid friendly place where one can relax reading a book and kids can play, particularly during the warmest hours of the day. The breakfast is rich, the room spacious and it is only a 300/400 KES tuktuk ride away from the nearest beach. Great value for money and friendly atmosphere!
