Wow -
You don't need to worry about anything. Think about staying with the privacy of a private house with the service of a very good hotel. But not just that the place is beautifully located.

Petit Paradis
Jinchini House est une très jolie maison à l’architecture authentique nichée dans un jardin tropical qui se mêle au sable blanc et se découvre sur les eaux turquoises de l’océan indien.
Au fil des journées, Msambweni dévoile avec calme et tranquillité ses paysages idylliques.
Nous avons séjourné en famille, le service parfait du personnel sur place...
Seul petit bémol, l’accès plutôt compliqué à internet, pour ceux qui désirent se déconnecter c’est parfait ;)
Asante !

Excellent location, excellent staff. This is an old house, but this is what give it it's charm! Some pesky sand flies on the beach and by the pool, so be sure to spray before you head out.

This is an amazing place. It's our second time there and we had a great time. It's about 45 minutes south of the Ukunda airport and that is a good thing. Very few people on the beach and the beach is MAGNIFICENT.
The house help is also amazing. Great cooks and great service.
Make sure you wear insect repellant or clothing that fully covers you in the morning on the beach because there are sand flies whose bites last at least a month. Taking care of this is fairly easy though and shouldn't be a deterrent to renting this beautiful place.

The property and view is even more beautiful than advertised.
The house is beautifully placed directly on the ocean for an outstanding view and constant ocean breezes. The care and attention to detail provided by Kassim and the staff was outstanding. The meals were out of this world delicious and creative. Our group of 7 (2 children) really enjoyed the pool in the morning and the beach in the afternoon. We had an awesome experience at Jinchini and would highly recommend it. Asante Sana.

Old Coast house filled with simplicity and charm while cared for by wonderful house staff.
It was such a pleasure to spend time in a true Kenya 'coast' house with its spaciousness and simplicity with all you need without being fussy - all reminiscent of an earlier era. It was a joy to be there and a tonic for the spirit to relax in the garden looking out on the Indian Ocean and the fishermen quietly going about their business - having seen many of the world's tropical coast lines none in my view are a patch on those of the east African coast with its palms, casuarina trees and constant monsoon breeze. Congratulations on keeping Jinchini's character, charm and comfort.
Kassim, Suleiman, Omari and the 'askaris' looked after us all with great care, thoughtfulness and diligence. They could not have done more to make us more welcome and cared for. We felt extremely privileged. Omari’s cooking excelled and it was a delight to have fresh Indian Ocean fish every day!.

Awesome experience
We loved our time at the beautiful Jinchini beach house. The property is perfectly situated with a pool and beachfront access. The food is delicious, the staff is very well trained and helpful. We loved it and look forward to going back someday soon.

Great beach house & exceptional staff
2 families (4 adults and 5 kids). The house is literally on the beach. The trees from the frontyard and backyard provide shade during the hottest hours of the day. The swimming pool was bigger and warmer than expected. The staff is fantastic. A big thank you to Kassim and the team. The food the cook prepared was a highlight of our holiday (a 6kg red snapper, lobsters, crabs, shrimps...).
