This beachfront property offers access to a patio, table tennis, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. Location can't be beat : the sandbar is practically behind the accomodation, with a direct path to the (best) beach. The plot is big, so it's really nice to wander around all the plants and little paths. The double room we had was lovely, with view on the outside. Shout-out to the wonderful team who cooked amazing food for us and taught us Swahili. Very nice village close by, next to F-cafe, and good local food around. We had the best best time !
