Zahari House (Dhow house)
Joannaās place was amazing. My daughter with 6 friends went there and Joanna was very supportive and welcoming. The house is large, breezy, in great conditions, with large en suite rooms. The girls had a cook who helped prepare breakfast and dinner for a very reasonable prize , the pool was cleaned daily and the place was excellent for groups of families or friends. I would highly recommend and we will definitely go back !

Shuma House
WOW!! What a fabulous trip had by all!! 8 adults and 1 baby stayed for 10 nights at Shuma house. We had an incredible trip. Shuma is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful, you really feel at one with nature here!. Shuma house itself is stunning, plenty of space for everyone, all the rooms are quirky, spacious and full of personality. The staff were all very welcoming and accommodating, and all work incredibly hard to ensure we are well fed and looked after. Martin, Shumas chef cooked us the most delicious meals night after night! Lots of choice and flexibility with meal choices/timings/allergies etc. Robert was amazing and tended to our every need, especially our daughter Elkies needs! Thank you all so much for making our trip to Shuma House absolutely fabulous! It was an emotional goodbye, but it certainly wont be the last!! We will be back!! Thank you! š¤©

Escape to The Beach House - Your Private Paradise!
This is our 5th visit to The Beach House. We keep coming back for a bunch of reasons. Rehema, Ali and the rest of the staff are the best. The location right on the water with perfect views is unbeatable. Communication with Rory is consistently great. The top porch is some of my favorite square footage on the planet. And ⦠have I mentioned how terrific Rehema is?

Donnelly House, 3 bedrooms, private beach access
Emma's house was beautiful. so many places to sit and have great views, lovely coastal forest path to the beach which was not too busy. we were so well looked after by Saidi, Mariam and Ngumbaos. Highly recommended

Swimbo House 3 bedroom sleep 8 with seaview
Lynda's House is lovely! The setting is great, less than two minutes down a sandy path to the beach. The house had everything we needed for a family with two young children.

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.

New Luxe 3 BR oceanview Nyali
I had a wonderful stay at Sarahās place! The home was spotless and just as described. Sarah was incredibly attentive and responsiveāshe always replied quickly and was very helpful throughout my stay.

Great spot in the heart of Mombasa, easy access to the beach with a lovely pool. The house itself has everything you need, soft sheets and fans that keep the room cool.

We had a pleasant stay. Lots of amenities associated with the Gecko resort. Good restaurants not far away. Tribe Water Sports on the beach. Great Kite Boarding. Two big pools. Nightly entertainment. Daily cleaning.

Aquatic Escape Penthouse (Ocean View)
Beautiful view and very spacious. Great places to visit and things to do nearby. Jet skiing a few miles away was really fun. Will definitely return there in the future.

Fortamu Twiga House in Watamu, Beach Front
Franca's apartment is tastefully furnished, airy and with a sea view, as in the photos. The garden, pools and beach are a jewel...quiet and relaxing. Franca is a careful and thoughtful host, ready to give excellent advice on excursions, restaurants etc. Really super recommended!

Sea Breeze 2 Bedroom Apt in Nyali Mombasa
Great location with easy access to local shopping and resorts. A very responsive host with prompt action taken when we had hot water issue. The cleaner was very professional and provided service with a smile. Good security and helpful staff at the reception. Definitely was a home away from home.

VILLA on THE SAND DUNES- 2 piscine /CHEF e wi-fi
This is the second time I have booked this house because I liked it so much, and this time it was also a perfect experience. Silvia is an impeccable host: welcoming, very kind and always available for any need. From the start, he provided me with a lot of useful information on what to visit and do in the surroundings, making the stay even more enjoyable. Check-in was simple and well organized. The villa is truly splendid: spacious, bright, tastefully furnished and above all very clean and tidy. Every detail is carefully taken care of, and you can feel an atmosphere of peace and relaxation that makes it perfect for breaking away from the routine. It's the kind of place where you don't just want to spend a few days, but where you'd want to stay for months. An excellent experience from every point of view. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to those looking for a quality stay. š

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

Watamu Sandbar Beach Cottage
What a gem! Both the rental and the hosts! Couldnāt have asked for a better long weekend break at Sue and Damianās place. Perfect, relaxing location with a pool (shared with the studio rental but we barely saw them) and just beside the beach (short path down from the property), layout of the house is great and has a large covered patio. Got excellent recommendations and updates from Sue on what was open, and loved meeting their dogs on the beach (separated from the rental)!

Ras Kikadini Beach House
Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!

Family beach house, birder's paradise.
Our stay at Villa Mkauju was absolutely fantastic! The villa is stunning, offering tranquility and comfort. A big thank you to the wonderful staff who were incredibly attentive and made us feel at home. Special thanks to the owner for maintaining such a beautiful property. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in Malindi. Can't wait to return!

Kas Cottage
The space is exactly what you want for a beach getaway with friends - beautiful coastline and sea views off the back verandah. The staff are incredibly helpful yet unobtrusive, and being on Bofa Road means the rest of Kilifi is easily accessible. Highly recommended!
