Villa Sarabi - Cozy house for 8 people, 4 minutes to the beach with cook

This was a beautiful property. It has 2 pools and a nice garden area. The rooms were spacious with our own bathroom. The house came with a cook who made us a delicious breakfast each morning. There is a nice outside area to sit and to eat a meal. It is a short walk to the beach but you need to walk a bit to find an area to sit. The listing says there is washing machine but you actually have to give your clothing to the maid and she will wash it for 500 a load. The beds were ok but didn't have a top sheet only a cover that wasn't the most comfortable. Also, beware of the Monkeys. Some broke in and broke all the eggs lol so make sure all your food is in the refrigerator. You can always catch a tuk tuk right outside and there is always someone watching the gate.

This house is fabulous. It's in a great location, every room has AC, the pool is lovely, it comes with a free chef (you buy the food), and they will do your laundry.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. The property was as described and we loved the huge pool and it came with a cleaner, cook (we chose to cook ourselves) and 24 hr security. There are two other houses that share the complex but we always had the pool to ourselves. Lots of space. It is about a 5-10 min walk to the beach (down the Forty Thieves lane (now closed)) and is about a 5 min walk to Ali Barbour's. It is a short tuktuk to the Carrefour or can walk to the local grocery store. One note is the property is immediately next to the main road and can be a bit noisy at times but value for money can't go wrong. We also walked along the beach to Nomad's for lunch (about 1.5-2 kms down the beach).

We had a very relaxing 8 days at Diani Beach. The house was fabulous. Lucy cooked amazing food. What a treat to have such a great cook there all day to prepare our meals. She gave us great suggestions on different meals and cooked some amazing meals for us that we came up with. There is a massage house on the property that we made use of regularly. Paulina is a very good masseuse that helped my back feel so much better. The staff was so helpful and caring and wanted to make sure our stay was perfect. The Maasai guys did a great job at the gate and always had huge smiles. Our group of 6 would highly recommend this home for families, groups and friends as a perfect getaway. When we did venture out for a meal, we ate at the cave restaurant, 40 thieves (which are both right there) and had some great Italian food just a quick tuk tuk ride away. We want to thank all the wonderful staff at Marula park for the great stay!
