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

Sea Breeze Getaway

BelindaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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. It’s furnished in a minimalist Swahili style, which added a unique and charming touch. If it’s available next year, we’ll definitely book again!

SĂș Casa - Ocean View, Remote Work Friendly

SaskiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

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.

MitchRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

MadsRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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:)

White House, beach cottage

SarahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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

NirvanaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
What a gorgeous place. If you’re 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.

River cottage

JamilaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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, she’s a gem. We shall definitely be back especially because there was great Starlink Wifi! Only thing is, don’t expect calls on Safaricom or Airtel networks so it’s great when you don’t need to be on call 😀 Cheers to a great start of the year Dion đŸ˜‡đŸ™đŸœđŸ€“ Tip; it’s near Solio conservancy, take the turn at the PCEA Nanyuki church signage, drive 2.7kms & you won’t miss it â˜ș

Your Coastal Oasis!

Richard GeromeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Stunning beach front apartment

JackieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Federica’s 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. It’s 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

ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Susan’s 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 Susan’s 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 couldn’t stand. There is no “kiddie pool”
