This house is huge and very well-decorated. Everything in it has so many details: paintings, furniture, lights, Mirrors, a bathroom, and glasses (made from used wine bottles) in the kitchen. There is a very large living room. We loved the lighting in the bedroom, which has a very soft design. The kitchen has everything one needs: an espresso machine, sandwich machine, toasters, you name it. Every bedroom has its own terrace, and our favourite one was the top terrace outdoor shower with a view of the ocean, so you are connected to the water. It is a very safe compound with a large pool. There are good restaurants nearby, and the beach next door is like a postcard. We were impressed that the whole house runs on solar energy.We highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back soon.

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

A real gem! The place is beautiful, tranquil and has everything you need. We stayed for 5 nights and could have stayed for weeks... The swimming pool is gorgeous, the house is very comfortable. Caretaker Vincent is just amazing. He is extremely helpful and can arrange anything (ordering taxi's/tuktuks/bodas, preparing the BBQ, cleaning, washing and so on). He's certainly a huge asset to the property. Same for Asya, she's fabulous!
