About this house rental
A rare combination of attractions is found along the 2km near-empty sandy beach, lapped by the warm Indian Ocean. The balcony is the perfect place for relaxing, from early morning tea to sundowners at sunset. Chale Reefs is a comfortable, fully-staffed, family house situated on a vast white sandy beach in the far south of Kenya. Spend your days swimming in the sea or the pool, snorkelling, fishing, playing tennis, reading from the well-stocked shelves, bird watching and, if you are lucky, watching newly hatched turtles make their first dangerous journey down to the sea. Visit the colourful market in Msambweni, the traditional village down the beach and wonder at the shellfish, barracuda, snapper delivered to the door on a daily basis by local fishermen. Chale Reefs is a stunning setting for a memorable holiday which can be as active or as relaxing as you want.

Great place to relax and unwind. Fantastic team managing the property. Stock up in advance as the supermarket is some distance away.

We stayed as a couple over Xmas with a friend joining us for New year. It is a lovely home and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Judith is a great host very helpful with lots of little details. We had a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to recommend.

No words can describe the charm and beauty of Chale Reefs, the pictures on the website do not do it justice. The house is large and spacious with stunning views over the gardens and the sea. The beach literally feels like an extension of the garden, and is nearly always totally empty. The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly and Bakari could not do enough to help and show us around the local villages.
The pool and tennis court are great and there is a great book selection around the house.
It is the perfect place to unwind and relax, with lots of area's to sit both inside the house, on the balcony and outside.
The bathrooms are quite old and the water pressure unpredictable but overall the house has a charm that is impossible to describe unless you actually stay there. we would definitely think of going back in the future.

We had 7 glorious days at Chale Reefs. The staff were all excellent and the cook - Wima - prepared some amazing meals. We walked along the beach in the mornings, swam in the ocean and the pool. Read a lot and generally did not a lot and we both feel better for it. A walk along the beach to the village is well worth the effort to see the friendly locals in their own environment. Would we go again? Of course we would!!!
