Seaside Escape
We had an amazing time at Faith's place! The house is spotless, well-organized, and filled with natural light. The balcony offers breathtaking views, and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the beachfront pool. Faith's communication was outstanding—she was proactive and attentive from the moment we booked, throughout our stay, and even after checkout. She went above and beyond by providing helpful recommendations, including connecting us with a fantastic chef. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to staying here again in the future!

Marijani Sea Views Shanzu Beach Mombasa
I booked the house for a family holiday, and it was perfect , we truly felt at home. The house and rooms were clean, and we had a wonderful time. Lena and Winnie were incredibly helpful during our stay, assisting us with everything we needed and making our experience unforgettable.

Beach Front Property, Mombasa, Bamburi Beach, 5**
Great appartment, really well equipped kitchen that made it possible to cook. Very much enjoyed my stay. A pity the gym was closed due to refurbishments at the time, but otherwise excellent.

Modern 3Br Penthouse w/ ocean view & pool
We had a great stay at Miriam's place! The location was very convenient (Ubers always just minutes away and lots of restaurants available for food delivery through Glovo), and wonderful communication from both Miriam and Georgina. The place was clean and we had access to a cleaner each day to do some small cleaning and bedding changes. We only had two minor issues: 1. The listing states that there is private beach access, which is not really accurate. There is a back gate that leads to the water, but no beach, just a rocky area. This was a main reason for booking the place, so this was disappointing. 2. We were told by Georgina after we were already there that the pool is not suitable for swimming. This should also be updated in the listing. Would still recommend the place, and we enjoyed our stay.

hibiscus home opposite prideinn paradise hotel.
the appartment was very big and amazing. it had many rooms and bathrooms, even more than the photos. the beach is like 15 mins away but the way there is beautiful and someone will take you there from the appartment and they can also take you back if you need. there are shops and restaurants nearby. I recommend this place

Shanzu, Serena Road Mombasa
Cosy intimate space that provided the much needed holiday break. I would go back, take more people and recommend more people there.

Luxurious 3br beach apartment
Lovely spot with everything as described. Check-in was smooth, the place was clean, and the host was responsive.

1 bedroom luxury Seafront unit

White House, beach cottage
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.

Mlima Cottage
For centuries mankind has been searching for the fountain of youth, and you still won't find it here, but you will find the doorway to paradise. With just one turn of the doorknob you walk through the doorway to paradise. The Indian Ocean rocking you asleep at night, your own personal chef preparing the amazing local delights, and blissful days of beach and ocean activities.

Fig House
Thank you for having us stay at your home during our short but sweet work trip to Kilifi. It's a shame we didn't get to spend as much time as we wanted, but the little time we spent there was well worth it. On our first day there, we enjoyed the most glorious sunset on the rooftop. The house is gorgeous and beautifully designed, and the best part was the huge, comfortable beds and the incredible shower. The pool was great for my team and I; it helped us out a lot with our early mornings and late-night work. The drive to the house from the main road can be quite long and tiresome because it's a rough road, and while the home isn't far, you have to drive slowly. This, of course, wouldn't have been an issue if we were on vacation. All in all, Fig House is exactly what we needed for a film crew of 6 who require a good rest and privacy after a long day in the field. I would definitely love to come back to stay here with family, especially on holiday. Asante sana!

Makuti House, Vipingo, Sea-front home with pool
We just loved this place and thought it it even more beautiful than on the images. The tasteful house offers a spectacular view directly onto the ocean. The architecture is beautiful and everything works well. The place is located in a very safe and luxurious estate with access to a private beach an larger pool. We had daily visits from cute monekys and other pretty birds. The staff is very reliable and friendly and the chef great (this is a fully serviced house wirh a cook, someone doing the clothes etc.). Our only problem was, that we did not want to leave !

Stunning Rooftop House only 2min from Diani Beach
Perfect vacation home for 6 people. Bedrooms had comfortable beds and great AC! Lots of space to spread out. Nice being in the resort for the service options. Great location near the beach! Patience was very responsive if we needed anything.

Luxury Ocean Front Family Villa Tiwi Beach Kenya
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.

MilaMax Beach villa Diani
Shamila’s home has beautiful character. My family loved the private swimming pool and the on site massages. We also utilized the chef who prepared many meals for us that were all flavorful and what we requested. The staff were so friendly and made us feel at home. We had a couple minor problems when we first arrived (a faucet and WiFi not working) and they immediately started working to resolve the problem. The staff recommended an excursion for us that turned out to be a highlight of our time there (glass bottom boat ride, snorkeling, and camel rides). We cannot say enough great things about the home and the hospitality we received from the staff. We hope to return some day to enjoy the facilities and the food again.

Okomos House Diani Beach, Kenya
Great place to stay for a family, in a quiet neighbourhood. Eunice the caretaker was great, she took good care of us and promptly attended to our needs. Lots to do nearby for a family.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Ocean bliss cozy homes
The close proximity to the main road makes Jane's place the best for new guests,the apartment is 24hrs manned by security guards and Jane is very proactive and very understanding host. The place is home away from home.

Seaview Nyali, 3BR for 6pax
The apartment is close to Nyali City Mall, if you cannot find a TukTuk you can actually walk, just 5 minutes. But usually TukTuks are available. This is an extremely clean apartment, evrything is in very good order. One of the main advantages is the calm location, hardly any noise at night. I have stayed in other apartments with a lot of noise (traffic and other) at night. Communication was superb. Minor issues (and they were really minor) were solved immediately. The view from the 3 balconies is amazing, you can see the ocean. Beaches are within minutes by TukTuk. Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts are available. I will definitely consider booking again when I come back, even though the price is a bit on the high side.

Luxe apt |sea view|Ac|@antalya nyali
I had an absolutely incredible stay at this apartment. The view alone is worth every penny you can see almost the entire Mombasa coastline from the windows and balcony, making each sunrise and sunset unforgettable. The apartment is spacious and beautifully kept, with a modern yet cozy ambience that made me feel right at home. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities I could ask for. Additionally, the location was perfect, with a nearby mosque and a walking distance to all shops, supermarkets you name it; adding a unique cultural touch and peaceful vibe to the neighborhood. The combination of breathtaking views, cleanliness, and a relaxing atmosphere made my stay truly special. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone visiting Mombasa! Thank you to Soha abodes and her entire team i had an amaizing stay.😃

LUXE NYALI Seaview 3BR, Beach, Pool- AC EXTRA COST
had a rocky start with Bernice as I felt she was snappy at the first encounter but during my stay she was unbelievably on point with communication. she responded like minutes later and she fixed whatever that bothered me in less than 10 minutes. Yes, I said 10 minutes!!!! I don't believe there's any host better than her. she made my experience so much better in mombasa.
