I was reading reviews here to day on Tembo House in Stonetown. It is feet from the water on the beach, bar/restauraunt next door and a pool that looks to be in a courtyard. The reviews are pretty mixed but I would give it a shot. You might want to check the review and they will usually link to other hotels in the area.

Hi,

Tembo House is in the centre of a busy, bustling, hot Stone Town.

The beach is not one you would swim from, and is about as different from the coastal resorts as you could get.

If you want to stay in a city, fine. If you want to stay on a beach, there are about 150 better choices.

We have just booked the Z Hotel in Nungwe after lots of research on the island and what we were looking for. As far as we know the beach is right in front of the hotel, perfect for all year round swimming and bathing and swimming pool. Also has hotels/bars/restaurants around and seems safe to travel between them at night. cheapest rooms are $220 per night high season (we go in feb). check it out on TA... Hope this helps.
