Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Zanzibar

Fukuchani Inn is wonderful - the staff is pleasant, kind, and very willing to help with whatever you might need. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful stay. The Inn is right near the ocean, a quick little walk to a beautiful (albeit rocky) beach, and it's very close (about 15 mins) from Nungwi beach. And the pool is lovely! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Villa and it was perfect for my family, plenty of space and very clean. And of course I have to mention Daisy, the basset hound!! Such a friendly and good girl :) We would love to come back one day - overall, great stay :) Friendly reminder to travelers, Tanzania and Zanzibar often have power outages, and this includes A/C - but they only lasted a few mins each time, and the staff aims to provide as comfortable a stay as possible.

Vlad is an honest and responsible owner, he met us, gave us an introductory tour of the city, and told us about local features. The accommodation turned out to be better than in the photo, very spacious, clean, all the necessary items for living were present. Your property's patio includes a grill and a small gazebo. Shops and cafes are 1-2 minutes walk from your home. The most gorgeous beach is a 5-minute walk from the house. Liquor store 30 seconds away. Everything is comfortable and accessible. I highly recommend this property and this owner!

We loved loved loved our stay at Wakushi house. Rebecca and Amani were so helpful and sweet people to be around and their place is just amazing. It is simply beautiful and very airy which is important on such a hot island. But it was the little details that stood out- fresh flowers, self-colored towels and handmade soap (which you can also purchase as a souvenir). Rebecca was also super helpful to arrange some trips and even took me to her yoga class. This might have been my best Airbnb-find ever!

Stayed 9 nights with my husband (June 2025). Great communication. Got collected at the airport by Suileman (sorry if spelling is wrong!)..we had a hire car so husband followed us behind..would be very hard to find otherwise. We were greeted by Said and Josephine with fresh coconuts... the house is just like the photos. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful gardens and clean pool with incredible views. Incredibly clean..bedrooms were gorgeous as was the bathrooms. Everything you may need was included. Staff were so helpful. Said took my husband out to show us where to buy bread. There are 2 local supermarkets...very expensive and mostly sold UK products! Air-conditioning upstairs but not down..I was incredibly hot. There are fans but still humid and hot. All in all..a fantastic holiday. The beach by villa isn't the best..very rocky..but beautiful views from patio area. Watch out for bugs and lizards.. but that's Africa! A truly memorable holiday. We will return one day. Easy 5 stars.

Fantastic location on the ocean, with fabulous views from all terraces and especially from the upper outside deck. Great open plan living space with views and spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms . The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind and discreet, always there to greet and assist. The property and gardens are really well designed and have a great flow. Superb walks to the reefs at low tide. The remote location provides great privacy and relaxation, highly recommended. We will be back!

Our stay at this beautiful villa exceeded all expectations! The pristine, large pool and stunning property were truly impressive, but what really made our experience unforgettable was Barbara, the amazing host. She went above and beyond, even arranging our airport pick-up and drop-off, making everything so easy. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommend staying here – it’s a perfect getaway!

This was a little slice of calm heaven. Would recommend 💯

Lovely home—clean, cozy, and well-equipped. Great location and very comfortable stay. The host was kind and responsive. Only thing I would recommend is a sign because it was pretty hard for the taxi to find us. I’m already planning on coming back next year with my family hopefully this house is available!

I stayed at Marvelous with my family. It was great place for the vacation. The host was really friendly, responsive and helpful. Especially every food we ate was amazing. I loved the natural and comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend Marvelous.

Hey! Amazing stay. Joseph is incredible - give this man a raise or a promotion. Beautiful location. Was a little toasty at times with there not being any aircon but for those with a bare minimum determination to survive, the fans work pretty good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well priced, central location to relax in and explore Paje from. Wish we made more use of the top level!

Beautiful and neat, great host. I recommend and definitely be back.

This is a fantastic place to stay! Saidi was excellent with communication. The area is fantastic to relax and he was so helpful with checkout and very reliable. My favorite stay in Zanzibar 😍

Such a beautiful and cozy home! It had a very warm, welcoming feel that made us feel right at home. Everything was thoughtfully set up, and the space was perfect for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a place that combines tranquility, art, and warm hospitality while keeping you close to the action, this is it. This is the one & I’ll definitely be back special thanks to the staff here. they are incredibly friendly, informative, and always eager to help, making the stay even more special. Chef Ahmed’s food is nothing short of mouthwatering.

The place is as described and shown in the pictures. The beautiful white beach is a few seconds walk. The caretakers of the house including the chef and the guard were very friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Many thanks for the nice Apartment. We enjoyed very much

We are a family of 5 and spent a week here and loved it! It worked perfectly for our family (teenage) with the three bedrooms, and general space - It is an oasis in the shade and just a short walk to the beach. We spent a lot of time at New Teddies too to use the pool and loungers etc, which is gorgeous and really close. Alida was so helpful and friendly and always at there for messaging. We did tours with Iddi (driver) who also collected us from Stone Town. He was really helpful, on time, and really reasonably priced. I would say book with him rather than on the beach! It wouldn’t be for everyone though - you should be aware it is set back in a very basic Zanzibar village. It is HOT! Mostly the house feels really cool and is wonderful to get back to, though the bedrooms are hot at night. There are fans but unfortunately Zanzibar is having an electricity crisis at the moment and there are several power cuts each day. This was probably worse than normal as it was peak season.

This property, located in Stone Town, was very clean, and the market was within a 5-minute walk, and it was very close to the sea, so the location was very good. The air conditioner worked very well, so I was able to stay comfortably.

Intellectual, inspirational, engaging, and accommodating. Conversations with Malaika were very insightful and lovely :)

Micaela’s house is beautiful facing a stunning beach. Chinga welcomed us and let us in earlier than expected, which was a huge relief. He was incredibly responsive and helpful - always popped round when we needed him. Asante Chinga! Halima cooked us a lovely breakfast. We also had a great massage. We enjoyed the Yoga Bar, Imani Beach Hotel breakfast and a couple of good dinners at Zan View. The house is stylish, the sand garden delightful and through the tiny gate you are already on the beautiful beach. Definitely recommend!

Peku Peku is Paradise! You litterally live in the jungle, between beatiful trees and very Artistic gardens that Andrew made himself. The bar/restaurant/chilling area is the perfect antidote for our stressful life and attitude. Next year I will stay there at least one month. People are so kind there, and there are incredibly beautiful and secret spot that Andrew can suggest you. His nephew Iunus is a great chef who can teach you a lot of local plates, but most of all Iunus is a special, gentle and delicate person. Very rare to find people like them! A You will be child again feeding the bush babies directly from your hand!!

We were in the villa for 4 nights. It was just perfect. The house is new and it is really cozy. A nice external area with a delicious shower. Roger and the team are really supportive and nice, always available to respond to our requests! Jambiani is a great place to stay on the island! We will love to come back in the future! Absolutely recommended.

everything was great. the house was steps away from the beautiful beach . felt like home. Simone was always on communication and made our stay very great. thanks you for hosting us and looking forward coming again. thanks alot

I felt at home even before I arrived. David is the most hilarious and charming Air B and B host I have ever met. Full stop. He and Othman manage these bungalows impeccably. It's giving Sophia Lauren Marcello Mastroianni meet cute, it's giving bellinis and bossa nova, even the dog Gracie has style. The construction and design make the island wide power outages romantic. I refreshed myself in the gorgeous pool and lounged under a panorama of stars cascading through the African Sky. Every single detail has been considered. Perfectly designed for a long term stay. You will feel so welcomed that you wont want to leave. A flawless booking.
