Kilifi, Kilifi County
Private pool filled with sea water, sun beds, excellent cook .This house is a treasure in a green casket, under the shade of a big baobab and bamboos, situated in a well maintained tropical garden with coconuts,mangos, cashew nuts, bananas, trees, Bougainville’s, frangipanis etc…………….Only a few meters to one of the several sandy cove beaches, surrounded by mangrove forest, the home of all kind of lives, birds ,fishes, crabs ,lobsters ,prawns, oysters………….
At this part the creek widens into a big lake, was the scenery of several movies.
This house has been built with natural materials to respect and fit in the environment, with no disturbance to the wildlife. Rain water collection and solar power.
This is the right place for nature lovers and bird watching.
' The solar and rain water collection system produces enough energy to cover its own demand. No AC,only fans 'Less luxury more ecology'
Perfect location and house for a restful, peaceful holiday. Thank you to all the team.
As a frequent traveller to Kenya since more than 20 years ago, I have usually spent some days resting at the coast after each safari. Our stay at Sunset Villa definitely wins hands down compared to any coastal resort. All the usual hotel services are provided, including cooking, but with a degree of hassle-free privacy and laid-back atmosphere I have never enjoyed at any beach resort. The pool is great, and the secluded beach at the creek is just a five minute walk from the house. George and Marguerite Gerst deserve my congratulations for creating this little piece of paradise, and I wish to thank Muramba, Saidi, Kazungu and the askaris for taking such good care of me and my family during our stay. Sunset Villa is the next best thing to having your own beach property in Kenya. No doubt we will be back. For prospective guests, and just as additional advice, renting a car will make the most of your stay since it will allow you to make great day trips from Kilifi (Mombasa, Malindi, Gedi ruins, Arabuko Sokoke Forest...). A 4x4 is not a must, but it is preferrable. And while in Kilifi do not miss the pizzas at Makuti Villas Resort, delicious stuff, just a ten minute drive from the house.
We enjoyed staying in Sunset Villas very much. Saidi showed himself as high level cook and manager and gave us even more assistance than we expected. All the stuff including Salim, Muramba were very kind. The villa and swimming pool was cleaned every day, the meal prepared by Saidi was perfect. Thank you!!!
