Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Great Rift Valley

We have had a wonderful stay at Carol's house. I have nothing but good things to say, the house and the garden are so charming, with everything you may need, the rooms are spacious, with very comfortable beds; the outdoor veranda is coosy and the staff does a great job. Carol has been in touch with us all the time and has given to us very good recommendations. We will be back soon!

This beautiful, historic home was everything we hoped it would be and more. Millie was very friendly and helpful. We all wished we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful and clean accommodation. Victoria was prompt with her communication throughout our stay. We stayed 3D2N with our family who visited from Singapore as well as two young kids 1 month old and 3 years and we had a good time relaxing. masseuse and chef recommended by Victoria were very good too. It Would be even better if there is a toddler friendly playground to keep the little ones entertained. We can’t wait to be back and stay at the newer house!

Had a great time. Peaceful and beautiful!!

Mateusz and Sonia are great hosts. Very hospitable, responsive, friendly and helpful to get yourself organised. Spotlessly clean villa, tastefully decorated and furbished. Good facilities in the villa. Safe. Small but nice pool with even a mini sandy "beach" in the garden, which further has coconuts, limes, papaya, ... Nice staff for housekeeping and security. Transportation to and from airport included in the rent.

Excellent place. the house is amazing it's well designed. fantastic views of the mountain from master bedroom, living room and dining room. friendly staff always available and helpful. I would recommend this place and would definitely visit again..

What a beautiful home and a warm and helpful host. We really enjoyed our stay - this place is now a pin on our map that we would gladly consider returning to. Highly recommend for a peaceful weekend away. The property is beautiful and the house is well-furnished. The host is very helpful and responsive.

Tim is an extremely amenable and accommodating host. The house is lovely, transports you back to another time. The garden is a beautiful, tranquil, oasis of colour and life. Margaret the housekeeper takes very good care of you. The surrounding area is lovely and there are several excellent places to eat. A car however is probably a necessity to appreciate these fully.

I had a verry nice stay at Arsheen's. The location is perfect in the hearth of Stone Town. She was verry helpful and so was Mushtaq.

We had a great time in Nairobi and enjoyed the apartment. Everything was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable apartment with adequate room for relaxing. Water stayed hot and washing machine was a huge amenity. Host communicated timely which made for a smooth check in and check out. Will definitely look to book another stay in the future. Highly recommended!!!

We were a family of four with two children ages 9 and 7 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in watamu. My children didn’t want to leave the pool and it was so convenient that it was right outside the veranda. The location is perfect. Right on the beach but so close to walking to lots of restaurants, shopping, etc. you can walk down the beach to hire a boat for a ride to snorkel and dolphin watch, you can walk out to the islands at low tide. We hired Joffit, a local chef at Federica’s recommendation , to prepare breakfast and lunches and do shopping. Would highly recommend to anyone else. It made the stay very relaxing. The flat was perfect for our family. Extremely clean, spacious and we appreciated the minimalist decor. We didn’t notice any loud noise like other reviewers mentioned. We could hear the waves at night. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Watamu.

Patricia is a super host. She communicated well and made things run smooth. This place was great! Super clean, comfortable and spacious. Risper the housekeeper and Wafula the chef made this vacation extra sweet for us. We cleared the plates from delicious meals everyday and Risper was very hospitable. Having the pool was a plus. This is a hidden gem that we hope to come back again to someday. We are forever grateful!

All I can say is this apartments is better than advertised, from the many amenities to the cleaning service everything Was perfect, I stayed 21 days and it was great. Hopefully I can get this apartment again when I return to nairobi. thanks Dan excellent host.

Lovely quite place to escape the busy city but still close enough that you have everything you need.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home — spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable thanks to the air conditioning and fans, making nights by the beach relaxing and restful. The housekeeper Sylvia and the chef truly made our stay unforgettable. Their warmth and attention to detail made the house feel like home, and by the end of the trip, they genuinely felt like part of the family. The house has everything you need, including beach towels for both the semi-private pool and the beach, which is just a few steps away. Getting around was easy — we hopped on a tuk-tuk to explore the town and visit places like Stiltz, where we even got to feed bush babies! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return in a heartbeat.

Che bellezza! Debra's gorgeous flat is precisely how it looks in the photos: airy, spacious, clean, quiet, with a beautiful view of the beach. What's more, my partner and I ran into an issue at the airport and had to push our trip back a day—and I've never known an AirBnB host to be more empathetic or responsive. Then there's Jackson. More than a caretaker, Jackson is deeply kind and hugely helpful host—a priceless concierge. With unfailing calm and charm, Jackson sorted us out with a tuktuk driver (request Salim!), an incredible chef (request Francis!), and when we left something behind, went above and beyond to have it shipped to Nairobi. AirBnB is full of magical properties, and I've been blessed to enjoy a fair few, but the experience that Jackson offers at Debra's flat in Malindi is one of a kind.

Fumba Town is a very nice place to stay: close to the beach and not far from Stone Town and the airport. The apartment is very neat and with tasteful furniture and good facilities like a washing machine and vacuum cleaner. An umbrella came in handy too :-) because it was the rainy season. Kwetu kwenu beach club is nearby and chill with amazing sunset views. Highly recommended, the apartment and the town.

This was a wonderful place to stay in Nairobi. The walk-in showers were excellent and the beds very comfortable. It was very easy to get around town using Ubers. It was also very close to YaYa Center, which had excellent cafes and an assortment of groceries. Our hosts were excellent to work with. We definitely recommend staying at their place. We will stay here again next time we’re in Nairobi. Their place is on the 14th floor of a new condo and has a great deck for viewing the sunsets.

Great location and very nice apartment. Cozy and well maintained. Enjoyed my stay . Happy took care of my questions swiftly. Ill be visiting again

Great Place, Great Location and a great host. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here when I come back.

We had an excellent and restful stay at Claudio's! The photos do not do this listing justice - it is a very beautiful and thoughtfully designed space. The surrounding environment is very tranquil and just what we needed for our trip to Malinidi. The hospitalily of Henry is unmatched and he made checking in and checking out very seamless. I highlighly recommend Claudio's place. We will be visiting again!

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

Catherine was an absolutely phenomenal host. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Her space was not only spotless and beautifully decorated but also filled with the kind of charm and elegance that reflects her personality. Every little touch spoke volumes of her thoughtfulness and dedication to creating a perfect experience. I truly felt like royalty during my stay and I cannot recommend Catherine enough. She is the epitome of grace and hospitality.

I had a fantastic stay at this apartment, just a 1-minute walk from the beach entrance, which made every day feel like a holiday from the moment I stepped outside. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. They even surprised me with snacks from time to time, which was such a kind and personal touch. The location, hospitality, and overall vibe made it a perfect getaway. Highly recommend!
