Holiday rentals in Wasini Island

We really enjoyed our 6 days at James house in Msambweni. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The only detail that should be clarified is that you need to provide your own drinking water. We had been made to understand that drinking water was available on site, however after arriving with our bottles nearly empty we were then told water needs to be brought. So we spent the first night thirsty until we were able to arrange a delivery of water the next day around 9AM. Otherwise everything was totally good, and we definitely recommend the place.

After a few bookings in the area fell through due to dishonest listings and poor cleanliness, we were feeling stuck for somewhere to go during our stay (make sure you vet your accommodation in Diani!!). We found Leonards place last min, and he was so responsive and helpful from the get go. We arrived to a lovely, clean villa exactly as described - Rose and the rest of the staff were so friendly and present, making our stay very enjoyable. The AC in the rooms provided immediate respite from the heat of the coast. The kitchen is well stocked and we managed to cook up some great meals. With no AC in the living space, it does get a little stuffy but not a huge issue for us. The villa is actually more like an 8 min walk to the beachfront and Pallet Cafe, and nighttime dips in the shared pool provided some peaceful stargazing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say booking into Leonard's place rescued our trip! We'd love to book both villas next time for a longer stay with more people.

We had a lovely stay here, so peaceful and in a great location so close to the beach. Plenty of restaurants to eat at, we enjoyed The Salty Squid & Kokko. Juliana the house manager was great and really responsive and helpful with all requests. Will be staying here again when we return to Kenya. Thank you ☺️

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Galu Salama. Anni’s property is beautiful - very peaceful and quiet, away from the touristy areas of Diani. We spent hours in the immaculately clean pool. We slept well in the rooms that were spotless and cool thanks to the air conditioning. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with cooking supplies. The housekeeper, Nancy, welcomed us with fresh fruits and made us feel right at home. The house manager, Renson, took care of all our needs - from coordinating tuktuks for transport to sourcing and serving us fresh coconuts! Our kids enjoyed asking Renson all about coconuts and the mini lesson they got about the types of coconuts and its use in local cuisine. Thank you Anni for hosting us - we hope to visit again in the future if we are in Diani again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Stay in Msambweni! Our stay at this beautiful Airbnb in Msambweni was nothing short of amazing. The home was exceptionally clean, peaceful, and perfect for a family getaway and to top it all it was just a 5mins walk to the beach ⛱️. What truly made our stay special was the people. George and Saa, the staff, were warm, helpful, and always ready with a smile. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. And Mary, the host, was simply wonderful—kind, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to every detail. She made sure our experience was perfect from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and family-friendly retreat on the Kenyan coast! Faith

Said's place was perfect for my partner and I. We stayed in simple yet beautiful bungalow surrounded by green and the garden. You might spot monkeys and bush pigs just a few meters away from you. Besides that the place is mega quite, barely any noise besides sea, wind and occasionally some birds. The bungalow is 30 seconds from one of the best beaches in Pemba Island, right in between two luxury hotels, so if you feel like having a (expensive) meal somewhere different once in a while, you can always drop at one of the hotels close by. Said is an extraordinary host. He took care of us so well, arranging rides, masks and helping us even planning for the next part of our trip in Tanzania. The restaurant is also impeccable. Food is healthy, tasty and differs a lot from day to day. Finally, Said's place was great for us because of the WIFI. As I was working from there, WIFI was quite important to me and Said's WIFI was among the best WIFIs I have encountered in Tanzania!

The villa was stunning- beautiful gardens well kept and incredible house. Christopher was an excellent host, quick to respond and help when we had questions. Thankyou!

Beautiful peaceful spot with lots of space inside and outside and easy access to quiet beach. The staff on site were very kind and helpful. The house has a relaxed, easy going charm that made it comfortable to be there with children. We enjoyed it!
