Monthly Rentals in Lamu Island

the house is super beautiful, very airy and the wind passes through. the pool is great and the rooftop terrace is jist incredible for star gazing. the location is as described, some 10mins walk from Peponi. it's an easy walk and allows you to feel a bit more like part of the local life. however, it's not so comfortable for going to the beach, perhaps more for hanging out in the beautiful house, going out for dinners.. a great option for a larger group of friends. we felt a bit like the house staff intruded our privacy a bit too much on the first day, but this was quickly addressed when we spoke to the manager and Bassam.

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.

Camilla’s place is absolutely stunning. Tucked away in a sand dune within sight and sound of the ocean. The tide is wide and creates a sandy expanse at low, and a choppy sea at high The open living space is spacious with high cathedral roof and a large sitting area with a kitchen area large enough for all four of us to prepare meals. The dining table is big and sturdy. The bedrooms are also spacious with king beds and full square mosquito nets. The bathrooms are large and open. The house staff, Baraka and Salma welcomed us on the beach as we arrived and to tote our bags to the house. They are discreet and let us be independent with cooking and cleaning. They offered to wash laundry, made beds, and Baraka even helped us find wine at a local shop. Truly one of a kind. Thank you Camilla and team.

Staying at Abdillah's place in Shela was a genuine pleasure. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us warmly, making us feel like part of the local community. The accommodation itself was authentic, with a charming balcony offering a serene view of the sea—a perfect spot to relax and soak in the surroundings.​ Airbnb Abdillah went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. He provided laundry services, safely stored our bags on our last day when we had a late departure, and even organized tours for us to explore the area. These thoughtful touches made our trip seamless and enjoyable.​ The neighborhood was vibrant and welcoming, allowing us to experience the local culture firsthand. Overall, if you're looking for an authentic stay in Shela with a host who truly cares about your experience, Abdillah's place is a fantastic choice.​
