Waterfront holiday rentals in West Africa

Aïssatou's place perfectly matches the clean photo and in a super secure residence. The host is busy with me from scratch, thank you again for your generosity. The meaning of the word teranga takes on all its meaning thanks to you and the entourage in this residence. In fact, do not hesitate to greet the babysitting and especially my friend Abass in the evening if you stay there. You can book without a second thought, it feels like at home! 🤩

Someone greeted us at reception and brought us up to the apartment and helped with bags and showing us all the amenities. Very smooth welcome process and the apartment was pristine and large. Very safe neighborhood and good security. Bassem and his team were very responsive to all communication. Highly recommend this stay

The apartment is in a great location . Chris is an awesome host. Quick beach access and a quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend.

The apartment full of colour and patterns of happiness in the heart of Bissau Velho, where it invites us to dive and the immersive experience of the sounds of people, native birds and live music from a rich and spontaneously cheerful culture. With a balcony where you can feel the sunrise and sunset of the city. A place surrounded by ancient trees and memories that continue to transform.

Beautiful spacious apartment and ideally located 5 minutes' walk to the beach and the fishing village of Ngor! The host is very welcoming and super kind. A large terrace is available with lovely views of Dakar. We will most likely come back!

Jean Luc was super accommodating by allowing us to arrive a day earlier than planned and at the last minute. The accommodation is great (better than in the pictures) and the hospitality is impeccable. Ultra recommended

Dan was helpful and responsive. The apartment is big with good views and has everything you need. Must say I was impressed with the water filtration system in the kitchen as well; might just need to get my own! Thanks for a lovely stay.

What to say about NICOLE if it is that he is such a kind, attentive and always available at any time. A beautiful setting that deserves a visit with a person who cares. I recommend this haven 1000 times that will show you the beauties of this beautiful country.

I would highly recommend the place. You are in a quiet and peaceful location. As described. Hosts are super accessible and welcoming, advise you on nearby places and restaurants. Satisfaction!

Beautiful house, ideally located close to the lagoon, in a beautifully wooded environment. The accommodation and furniture are a little old but nevertheless functional. I have never seen, in Senegal, sanitary facilities with such a good water supply; it was greatly appreciated. Guy and Amy were also flexible with check-in and check-out times, and Zoul, the caretaker, was very kind and available. We'll be happy to go back!

This was my third week at Daphnes, just kept extending our stay because it just has everything we needed and more. I liked the space, the house was cool and airy enough we didn’t use the aircon or fans. I’m quite a foodie and the kitchen is perfectly adequate to make delicious meals from local ingredients. The blender/ hob/ oven all fine. Plenty of cutlery and crockery , bakeware, serving platters and gadgets. Fridge/freezer nice and large. Coffee percolator- 🙏Thank you. Abundance of options for dining, breakfast on the covered patio, lunch & afternoon tea in the front garden. Dinner at the dining table either on the main floor or in the first floor lounge/ diner den( has sink)overlooking sea. I haven’t slept and relaxed so well in years. So many little extra touches that just made the stay so good. A real homely stay for peace and tranquility. Loved the hula hoop!!!! I’m sure I will return.

I really loved Geraldine's place - it was the perfect spot for an Easter break! The rustic island style was very well suited and the views are gorgeous. It is a deeply peaceful place with wonderful people and places to visit including the local round Catholic Church. I miss the place already.

A true haven of peace. We loved staying at Bintou's. We felt safe there, a very important criterion for us. The little extra of the accommodation is its infinity pool. The only small problem with the accommodation is that you need a car. In the low season, the beach restaurants were closed. As for Bintou, she was very welcoming, available and above all very friendly. A big thank you again and we will come back with great pleasure.

A Perfect Getaway in Saly. This place was exactly what we needed — restful, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful. The home is right on the beach, with stunning views and direct access to the sand. We also enjoyed the community pool, which was clean and never too crowded. The house itself was spotless, tastefully decorated, and extremely comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There was a small issue with a security screen, but the hosts responded quickly and had it fixed right away — great service! Marie-Hélène, the house helper, was fantastic. She was attentive, kind, and always available when we needed something. Another bonus: there are several great restaurants within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy local cuisine without having to drive. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation!

I really enjoyed my stay: a private beach and discreet caretakers (Mohamed and Ousmane) ready to help. I did not meet Denise in person but she was very responsive by text. The sunset is beautiful and I liked being able to mingle with the young people who came to enjoy the beach next door. The decoration is not design but authentic, and makes you nostalgic (those who lived in Africa in the 90s will understand). I recommend the air-conditioned room in this period.

I had a great stay! The apartment was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was convenient and quiet, making it perfect for a relaxing visit. Communication was excellent; any questions I had were responded to quickly and helpfully. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Debbie's place is the best Air BnB I've stayed in, in the Gambia. It is right by the water (the Atlantic ocean) with beach access and pools all around. It is a walking distance to many good restaurants and stores. The place is as described, beautiful relaxing environment, clean, home style luxury, and excellent services. Her house keeper (Nancy) and manager (Alieu) were friendly and went above-and-beyond in making sure that we had a good and enjoyable stay. Debbie was very responsive and helpful in offering recommendations for anything we needed. I highly recommend Debbie's place and will be booking again when I visit Gambia.

Always a pleasure staying at Pierrette’s

It was perfect and you can find the most suitable environment for your stay in the area

Very kind and attentive. He gave us very good advice and very responsive in case of any problem . The place was great for our stay!

We had a great time at Eric and Delphine's, welcoming and warm hosts. Delphine, thank you for your kindness. The accommodation is great, spotless and functional, fully equipped! I recommend it 1000%!

as described and photos. responsive host and always available when needed. The caretaker Ousmane is also very responsive when needed. i recommend it.

Mr. Jatta Thank you for everything. The listing was better than the photos. Beautiflly decorated, spacious, and included a generous welcome package. In addition, the kitchen is fully stocked to warm takeout or to make a home cooked meal. The location was ideal. Senagambia nightlife is a short walk down the street. Sĥould I visit in the future; I would love to stay for an extended visit! Mr Jatta you are very special, thank you again.

Had a nice stay at Atsede Maryam's place. Yoff is a nice neighborhood and the beach is around the corner from the apartment. The apartment itself was very spacious, and there was plenty of kitchen equipment for if you wanted to make something yourself.
