Amani Eco Retreat
Wir sind aus gutem Grund ein 2. Mal gekommen! đ Ein faszinierender Ort mit einem wunderschönen in die Mangroven reichenden Anwesen. Abgerundet wird alles durch die herzliche und unkomplizierte Aufnahme durch Ulrike und Parvez.

3 bedroom apartment on beach property with pool
it was a beautiful holiday in a lovely and well furnished apartment. with a view of the ocean by day and the sound of waves by night. we really enjoyed joeys house and it was very convenient to have a restaurant next door. everyone was very friendly and we had a great and relaxing time. thanks!

Sea Breeze Getaway
Ayan was a wonderful host! She welcomed us personally and showed us the beautifully furnished apartment. It was very clean and well maintained. Through her profile, we discovered fun activities and found great inspiration for our stay. She was very helpful, which made our stay much easier. I could reach her at any time, and she always responded quickly to my messages. The apartment is very bright, which we personally really liked. Itâs furnished in a minimalist Swahili style, which added a unique and charming touch. If itâs available next year, weâll definitely book again!

SĂș Casa - Ocean View, Remote Work Friendly
Staying with June was very nice. A nice room with everything included! Especially the view over the creek is beautiful (especially at sunset). The distance to the supermarket and downtown is also good, easy to walk to. It can get pretty hot in the room though. Fortunately there is air conditioning, but we noticed that it takes a while before the big room is really cool. When we had questions, June responded super quickly and proactively.

Zuri Beachfront Studio - Malindi
Lovely experience. The ambiance, the beach, and the staff went above and beyond to assist with every single thing. Magnificent time in Zuri Twin Sands. Worth the while.

Le Mac Fully Furnished Luxury Apartment 1113
My stay at Century's Airbnb was 5-star perfection. The quiet neighborhood was wonderfully relaxing. Food and groceries are allowed to deliver right to the doorstep which was a huge convenience. Easy access and top-notch security made me feel completely safe. Highly recommend this comfortable, convenient, and peaceful retreat!

Malindi Beachfront Cottages - GF
Even in very mixed weather, we had a great stay in Cecilias house. What we love is the style of the house, the pool, and that its right on the beach. The maid Rosie is very attentive as well as Cecilia who is very flexible and communicative. Looking forward to return:)

Mahali Pazuri* | Diani Beach
Loved it! Clean, right at the beach and everything you need.

White House, beach cottage
We lived our stay at the White House cottage. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return. We are a family of four and it was perfect. The staff was so warm and helpful. Definitely hire the local chef recommendation. We had delicious food in the convenience of our own veranda looking at the ocean. The location right on the beach with the private, expansive grounds was perfect. The house has incredible views and is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you have a big group, try to rent the White House next door and have an amazing holiday with family or friends.

Luxury Ocean Front Family Villa Tiwi Beach Kenya
What a gorgeous place. If youâre an animal lover, this is the best place to be in the Diani area. Monkeys everywhere on the veranda, in the garden, by the pool! Gorgeous birds. Starfish island nearby. Adequate snorkeling. I was initially worried because the Honeymoon Tent seemed like a better choice online, but to us, Ocean View villa has the most to offer of the properties on the compound! Lovely as a couple or for a group you know intimately (the rooms are quite porous if sharing the home). Mike was incredibly helpful and flexible, with an incredible life story. Martin our chef was warm and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely come back again. PS would recommend ordering the shopping ahead of time, can be a bit hectic to do it on the night of your arrival.

Stunning Rooftop House only 2min from Diani Beach
Perfect vacation home for 6 people. Bedrooms had comfortable beds and great AC! Lots of space to spread out. Nice being in the resort for the service options. Great location near the beach! Patience was very responsive if we needed anything.

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Lieber Norbert, vielen herzlichen Dank fĂŒr den wunderschönen Aufenthalt in deinem Airbnb in Watamu! Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt â die Unterkunft war perfekt, super gepflegt und mit so viel Liebe eingerichtet. Auch die Lage war traumhaft! Deine Assistentin Helen war sehr zuverlĂ€ssig und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen wieder!

KaâMakuti Villa
Such a lovely home, well kept and clean. Very welcoming and so private. Will definable come back.

River cottage
We loved the tranquility at the cottage, exactly what we needed to begin the new year. The fact that we had the unit to ourselves was amazing, perfect for couples. We got raw cow milk daily for free & even green vegetables when we requested. There was everything we needed & more, loved the home made chili offered. Catherine the help was too kind & always available to help, sheâs a gem. We shall definitely be back especially because there was great Starlink Wifi! Only thing is, donât expect calls on Safaricom or Airtel networks so itâs great when you donât need to be on call đ Cheers to a great start of the year Dion đđđœđ€ Tip; itâs near Solio conservancy, take the turn at the PCEA Nanyuki church signage, drive 2.7kms & you wonât miss it âșïž

Cosy Bofa Beach House
Jess is a fantastic host! The cook was incredibly helpful, prepared delicious and practical meals, and the garden is absolutely wonderful â a true highlight of the stay. Highly recommend!

MilaMax Beach villa Diani

Highly recommend you get a chef for your stay! The property was super clean and well maintained, we enjoyed the pool. Shamila was super nice and always available for questions. Highly recommend this property! Shamila was always available and was super friendly.

Malindi Beachfront Escape, 10 min from Airport
Had an excellent stay at Pam's place. Great location, on the beach, close to restaurants. The place was well equipped with everything you need. Pam is a great host, quick response. Can absolutely recommend the place

Your Coastal Oasis!
I love this bnb! this was my 2nd stay and won't be the last. whenever am traveling to mombasa this is my go to spot. the bnb is beautiful the decor is kool unique and stylish . the seller is the view!! it's what really draws me there each time. loaded with amenities pretty much everything you can think of is there. very comfortable sofa seating and bed. I literally have no complaints the only thing that could make it better is if it was in a more happening area but it's easy to get around with ubers. the host is amazing she always gets back to me with any concerns and rectified them. she definitely takes wanting us to have a good experience serious. pro tip . there is a store nearby on called food plus where you can get cases of water, snacks and even food stuff for cooking. the big thing is there is also a pharmacy and atm in that same Plaza. good to know because there is not an atm at the premises where you'll stay. cash is king.

Lion House beach house
It was a cool place,through it rained through out our stay but it was wow.nature also was BEST

Apartment Sandcastle 108 Seaview Diani beach
Place is very clean, owner communicates effectively making it much easy. Location of the property is very good, very close to the beach and service centre's. A very quiet and secure place

Stunning beach front apartment
Federicaâs place is beautiful - very spacious and the deck/views are wonderful. There is a gate and security that made us feel comfortable, and the pool and grounds are very well kept. Itâs walkable to several restaurants and shops, with tuk tuks nearby as well. Would just caution anyone traveling during the low season (I think April to July) to look and see if restaurants are open; we struck out a few times at some places that are walkable from the Airbnb.

Patch by the Ocean, a 2 bed beach front apartment
Susanâs place is a true gem. The beds were comfortable, always hot water and power, well equipped kitchen and a gorgeous pool and patio. Even niceties I dint expect like security cameras, house cleaning and a quality washing machine. You have all you need to live there autonomously. Next door is a great pizza place w vegan pizza and cocktails! Notes for families: the beach that is directly outside of Susanâs compound is not family friendly nor good for swimming (trash and khat chewers). But the cleaner swim able beach is just a 8 min Tuk Tuk ride away. Worth the distance to have such a gorgeous condo! The pool was shallow enough for my 5 yo to stand w her head above water but a short child or a younger child couldnât stand. There is no âkiddie poolâ

Fortamu Twiga House in Watamu, Beach Front
Notre sĂ©jour chez Franca sâest trĂšs bien passĂ©. Nous avons bien Ă©tĂ© reçues, et les aides de maison Ă©taient trĂšs serviable. Cadre paradisiaque, le jardin et ses nombreuses piscines sont parfait pour un sĂ©jour entre amis ou en famille ! AccĂšs Ă la plage. ProximitĂ© avec les restaurants et les magasins. Je recommande !

Demure
Marie's place was superb! We had an early arrival to Mombasa which Marie gladly accomodated. She was responsive and a phone call away incase we needed anything. Thank you Marie! We will visit again
