Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kenya

We had a wonderful stay at Graham's property. The space was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The host was very accommodating, providing clear instructions and quick communication throughout my stay. The location was ideal, offering both convenience and tranquility. Thank you for providing such a great place to stay!

Josephine was a very responsive and kind host! Whenever a problem arose, she very quickly resolved it and was always available. A pleasure to spend time with!

We just loved this place. We checked in very late but the host was very patient with us. Norah was great in communication too. I would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing location. The service provided by the staff in the house was impeccable. We will certainly come back. Everyone loved the stay. Worth noting though that it is five stories and the rooms are all split between the different floors so lots of walking in stairs.

Secure location. Walking distance to mall with grocery store, shopping, and restaurants. Nice pool. Nice landscaping. Giant kitchen. Friendly environment. Ample parking.

My friends and I ushered in 2025 here. It was a really good place with amazing views of fireworks. The bonfire was always lit and the jacuzzi always hot! Not ideal for more than 4 couples though (unless you don’t mind being in each other’s space). The chef did a fantastic job! 👌

Everything was very nice, the tent was clean, the bed was good to sleep, the food was good, the people were friendly, and John's safari was definitely the most professional!We saw the animals we dreamed of, got here, be sure to look for John, everything was great!It was really great!

I have stayed at Leila's place a few times. I was glad to find I could book for a one night stay in transit to another destination. It always feels like home!

The house is a little paradise overlooking the Creek and mangrove. all rooms are amazing and Chef Henry's food was excellent. I would recommend it without a doubt

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!

Lorine’s place is amazing! I feel like the antique furniture and aesthetics of the colonial styles was flawless! I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends in the future. I can’t wait to come again to see the wonderful puppy/guard dog who is always so friendly! Thank you Lorine and Emmanuel!

Absolute rustic beach-front paradise and such a lovely team of staff! Ocean views are stunning and tennis court is a lot of fun. Jacquie is amazingly responsive and so helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank Chichi and Samson and team for hosting us sfo well. Absolutely a wonderful time in every way. Thank yo for dong all our shopping and serving s authentic meals each day. Can’t wait to return. The large house is perfect for teams giving each his own space! Blessings

Amazing quiet getaway for family and friends. Beautiful surroundings and very friendly staff at the property. The walk around the property that we did was very enjoyable by adults and kids alike. The heavy showers added to the dramatic scenery from the property. Definitely will be visiting again when possible!!

Fantastic location for a peaceful getaway location. The beach has barely anyone and we had a great time enjoying the beach The garden, pool was spacious and huge. Children loved the space. We enjoyed the food prepared by the chef please note this is a separate cost/arrangement. Omari also organised our transfer from the airport and back. It was an approximate 2hrs drive from Mombasa international airport. I would highly recommend this location. The staff were very welcoming and so was the environment.

This place exceeded our expectations—it’s even more beautiful than in the pictures! The lake view is absolutely breathtaking, with hippos right in front of the house and plenty of wildlife in the surroundings. The staff was outstanding, and the chef prepared delicious meals for us every day. We highly recommend this place.

Nice , Calm,peaceful the most serene place everyone should visit A home away from home

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.

It was amazing ! The house is beautiful, the butler and the chef are amazing. Joris is very responsive. I recommend 100% !

This was such a lovely little getaway! We are coming back in August with friends and can’t wait! The photos don’t do it justice! It’s a Swahili paradise! Margaret went above and beyond! Ilya has decorated the house in a simple, yet homey Swahili style! Everything was just as described! We ate at the restaurants in walking distance, enjoyed the beach and pool and just chilled and relaxed at the house! Perfection!

We had a wonderful 4 nights stay with family of 5. The owner responded quickly, send us very detailed information of all you need to know and arranged pick up at Mombasa airport. The staff is very friendly, helpful and at the same time gives you privacy. Reuben the chef provided us splendid meals, we especially enjoyed all the fresh seafood!Recommended is to do shopping before arrival because bigger supermarkets are 40 minutes drive away. Fruits, vegetables, water, fish, soda’s are easy to get in the village but for more luxurious groceries you have to go to the bigger supermarkets. You can book the pick up from the airport with a shopping stop in Nyali. Neen Tree is a lovely family house with marvellous view and direct access to the ocean. A friendly monkey family lives on the property and are fun to watch. Besides the pool we loved going snorkelling on the rif using the equipment from the house. For transport we used Tsuma with a comfortable 7 seater which we used for a Kilifi trip.

Absolutely beautiful! Location is perfect. The house is stunning, with plenty of space for large groups, a lovely pool and breathtaking view. The staff were amazing and took great care of us. An unforgettable holiday!

We had a wonderful stay at Ibambe Villa, one of the nicest properties on the Kenyan coast. We were with two families and 4 children. Kids friendly pool, with easy and direct access to the best stretch of beach in Watamu. The house is beautiful, clean, tastefully decorated, with spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Elias and the team were very helpful. Food was amazing. Would wholeheartedly recommend Ibambe to anyone!

Come for the views, stay for the food! What a beautiful spot with tons of space to spread out. The house and grounds were gorgeous, located on a pristine beach, yet relatively private. The staff were all super helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Pool was refreshing, yet surprisingly deep. Chef Nixon made us amazing seafood dishes all week. Only draw back was the lack of A/C in the bedrooms, which most comparably priced stays offer in the area. Check out the kite surfing, SUP, and kayaking rentals right next store. During low tide, head straight out half a mile to the sandbar and enjoy hunting for starfish!
