Renta de casas vacacionales en Manda Island

Jane was very helpful even before our trip, her house, Jaha is definitely prettier than the pictures. She has done a good job with the interior and she a nice collection of books you can read while relaxing. James the chef made such tasty meals, his soups are a must have 😅 Juma was also very proactive and he helped us around the Island. Jane has done well with her team, including Nasir who picked and dropped us at Manda Airport. We had a such a lovely stay.

Amazing location. The service provided by the staff in the house was impeccable. We will certainly come back. Everyone loved the stay. Worth noting though that it is five stories and the rooms are all split between the different floors so lots of walking in stairs.

Beautiful house, special mention for the rooftop, airy and great to chill at. We had a great stay at Nyota House. Jonny was very responsive and Harrison made our stay super smooth. Very good location too. Definitely recommend!

My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Marianne's! She was very communicative throughout our stay, upon arrival to our departure. While the house is a bit of a walk away from the waterfront (within the dunes) it felt as though we were part of the community and truly felt the love and hospitality of the Shela community. Will definitely be coming again in the future!

We had a lovely stay, beautiful house close to Shela beach. Raphael and all the staff were great. We loved the pool for cooling down. Lots of low ledges and high drops so be very careful with little ones

We really enjoyed our stay at Tunusuru House. It is just off the beach front in the centre of Shela, meaning everything is within easy walking distance. Chef Robert and his team cooked exceptional food - some of the best fish that we have ever eaten. The rooftop is a particular highlight - stunning views out onto Manda Island and a very welcome breeze. The house were able to organise numerous excursions and all of our water taxis and were incredibly responsive. If I was being picky, although traditionally designed, the house was a little sparse on furnishings (e.g. there could be some bedside tables), but overall this didn’t detract from the enjoyment of our stay. I’d thoroughly recommend Tunusuru House!

We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Shela! We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the most magnificent garden! Claire is a very responsive host who provided tailored recommendations for our needs.

Mauro‘s stay is a wonderful oasis in the midst of Shela. We thoroughly enjoyed the location the picturesque views from the top balcony and the cosy kitchenette on the main floor. The bedrooms were comfortable, clean and spacious en-suite’s. Miss Dama the housekeeper is an excellent cook, we really enjoyed her peppered fried fish and mango avocado salad, very recommendable. Mauro was an excellent host, extremely quick to respond, offering hints, tips and advice for Lamu. I would definitely recommend Mauro‘s stay in Shela!

We had a very happy easy time. Lamu was hot and steamy and do the fans and breezes were welcome from the great design of the house. Lawrence the chef, host and general in charge person was a delight as was Philip.

My friends and I loved our stay at Arjun's place. There was three of us so we had plenty of space and Paul and Michael took such great care of us for the few days that we were there. Communication before and during the arrival was clear and helpful. The place was absolutely stunning and the food by Michael was a highlight...honestly his food was better than some of the restaurants on the island. 5 stars for the whole experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend to all looking to go to Lamu Old Town.

The stay at Papaya House was fantastic. Nina was an amazing host and made sure all was going smoothly during our time there. The staff, Daniel and Safari, have been more than helpful and pleasant to be around. The food was delicious and the place was spotless. Shela is a cozy little town and from the house everything is walkable easily. The house itself is just gorgeous- the beautiful garden, the interior design and more than plenty of space to hang out or enjoy the stars at night. We hope to come back one day!

Gilles staff was very attentive. His place his immaculate and beautifully renovated. Most rooms have ceiling fans above the beds, and he provided floor fans for those in our party who were unaccustomed to the tropical climate. I loved staying there! Thank you!

The Dunes is a very special and beautiful home. The photos were helpful in our initial booking and on arrival we were in awe with how breathtaking the property is in real life. In particular, we spent many hours in the pool which was kept sparkling for our entire week’s stay. Marianne was a very responsive host, replying to any questions very quickly throughout our time at The Dunes. Abu, the caretaker, was very kind and knowledgeable, organising day trips and a very special sunset dhow experience- nothing was too much trouble. The house is kept spotless by Joyce which was really appreciated and chef Tomick was very flexible with our varied schedules each day. At night, we felt very safe with Muhammad’s unobtrusive presence. I highly recommend you treat yourself with spending time in this amazing property.

Bee House is a very cute house, well furnished. The house is very accessible yet private. Our host, Abdulrahman, was a great host: he helped us with all the information he judged useful (and they were): a contact for a captain to arrange transfer from airport and to other islands, another contact for a very nice dhow ride at sunset, a chef that could cook for us whatever dish we asked. On top of that, Abdulrahman has been very kind, always making sure everything went well and very reactive. I already know that I'll stay at one of his properties my next stay in Shela!
