This house was exactly as described and more! A wonderful Arabic design with large rooms, high ceilings, comfortable beds and furniture, Arabic bathrooms (tiled), and so many really nice features. The location right on Jambiani beach cannot be beat. We watched the large tide come and go each day, enjoying swimming when the tide was high, and the dhows and other boats, as well as the locals cultivating seaweeds, when the tides were low.
The staff (manager, chef, cleaners, and driver) were all really friendly, efficient, and interested in making our visit really special.
Jambiani is remote and beautiful. There are hotels and villas on the water with the community living behind, but little hustle and bustle and commercialization. Really relaxing and fun time.
