Holiday rentals with beach access in Kenya

Ken's place was wonderful with a stunning view and very well furnished. Our host was helpful with a last-minute booking and the place was also easy to find. We didn't spend much time in the house as we had full-day engagements but it was a wonderful place to unwind especially with the view of the ocean from the balcony... very peaceful.

Loved my stay Margret’s. She’s present and ensures you have a comfortable stay. The room was clean, well equipped with basic utensils, and all around comfortable! It’s also a walking distance from the beach, Cowrie shells nearby has a mean whisky sour.

Wir sind aus gutem Grund ein 2. Mal gekommen! 😃 Ein faszinierender Ort mit einem wunderschönen in die Mangroven reichenden Anwesen. Abgerundet wird alles durch die herzliche und unkomplizierte Aufnahme durch Ulrike und Parvez.

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!

David was an amazingl host. very responsive at any time. and would go out of his way to offer solutions. the house is strategically located to so many fun activities like go kart, wild waters and nguuni sanctuary. can't recommend the place enough

Love the apartment. Inside a great, safe complex right by the beach. Great for a family stay

We were a family of four with two children ages 9 and 7 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in watamu. My children didn’t want to leave the pool and it was so convenient that it was right outside the veranda. The location is perfect. Right on the beach but so close to walking to lots of restaurants, shopping, etc. you can walk down the beach to hire a boat for a ride to snorkel and dolphin watch, you can walk out to the islands at low tide. We hired Joffit, a local chef at Federica’s recommendation , to prepare breakfast and lunches and do shopping. Would highly recommend to anyone else. It made the stay very relaxing. The flat was perfect for our family. Extremely clean, spacious and we appreciated the minimalist decor. We didn’t notice any loud noise like other reviewers mentioned. We could hear the waves at night. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Watamu.

I had an amazing stay at Ayan’s place for three days with my family. It was exactly as described, and Ayan went above and beyond to make our experience special. She provided great recommendations for local areas and activities to explore. She was very understanding and gracious. Ayan was always available to help, and she answered my calls immediately whenever I needed assistance. The space is also very comfortable and accessible for elderly guests with fast lifts and direct access to the beach. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in North coast Mombasa!

I absolutely loved the place. Its bigger than it appears on photos. Very clean, all listed amenities, easily accessible, close to the beach, and Anisia was very friendly, very welcoming, very good customer service and very helpful. I highly recommend the place.

Tulua House is truly a hidden gem. My partner and I had the most incredible stay here on our way to a safari, and we are already dreaming of returning. The house is in a perfect location, spacious, serene, and beautifully styled with Swahili touches. My favourite moments were enjoying the outdoor shower under the tropical sun, unwinding in the private garden in the evenings, and soaking in the warm hospitality. Ilya is a superhost in every sense, wonderfully responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating throughout our stay. Margaret, the house manager, is extremely professional and incredibly helpful, she made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. We are already planning our next visit.

Kjempefint hus med stort basseng! Perfekt for en storfamilie på tur. Kokken lagde alle måltider for oss, og vi var veldig fornøyd med maten. Helt herlig! Esther var der hver formiddag og rengjorde huset. Vi bestilte også massasje via henne, og det kom en hyggelig dame og masserte oss på stedet. Bassenget ble rengjort hver dag. Fint med gangavstand til stranden. Huset ligger i en gate med vakthold hele døgnet, både mot stranden og mot gaten. Alt føltes veldig trygt. Mikhail svarte raskt på henvendelser i forkant, og hjalp oss også med et legebesøk på grunn av en skade i løpet av turen. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake ved en senere anledning. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

Beautifully furnished and very peaceful...will be a repeat guest.

We had a lovely time in Susie’s place. Brilliant location, large pool, friendly staff. Communication was excellent, with a great information packet provided in advance. Highly recommended.

Hi…Cissie is a super host, very helpful for all kind of requests and I loved the apartment…close to the beach and restaurants and very quiet. I will come back 👍🏻

Absolutely beautiful place, super responsive host, and very helpful staff! Because of the rain (and therefore needed plastic to cover windows) the bedrooms were quite hot even during the night, as the plastic used to protect from rain blocked air to enter the bedrooms properly. The fans help, but don’t fully do the job. I’m guessing this is only a temporary solution though :)

Pam’s Place was the perfect choice for our needs during our trip to attend a wedding at the Diani Beach Resort. Traveling on a budget, my wife and I took a chance on this affordable gem, which offered exceptional value compared to the resort. Nestled in a stunning location, it’s ideal for those seeking an authentic experience immersed in the local community, unlike the more private, tourist-oriented resort. The highlight was our host, Pam, whose warmth and responsiveness went above and beyond. When we forgot our phone chargers, she generously lent us her own. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Pam’s Place for travelers looking for great value and a genuine connection with the local culture.

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.

We had an excellent and restful stay at Claudio's! The photos do not do this listing justice - it is a very beautiful and thoughtfully designed space. The surrounding environment is very tranquil and just what we needed for our trip to Malinidi. The hospitalily of Henry is unmatched and he made checking in and checking out very seamless. I highlighly recommend Claudio's place. We will be visiting again!

De place was amazing and perfect in diani. The location is central for the beach and al the restaurants. Good host with communication nothing bad to say

Susan’s place is a true gem. The beds were comfortable, always hot water and power, well equipped kitchen and a gorgeous pool and patio. Even niceties I dint expect like security cameras, house cleaning and a quality washing machine. You have all you need to live there autonomously. Next door is a great pizza place w vegan pizza and cocktails! Notes for families: the beach that is directly outside of Susan’s compound is not family friendly nor good for swimming (trash and khat chewers). But the cleaner swim able beach is just a 8 min Tuk Tuk ride away. Worth the distance to have such a gorgeous condo! The pool was shallow enough for my 5 yo to stand w her head above water but a short child or a younger child couldn’t stand. There is no “kiddie pool”

I had an enjoyable experience, I was able to attend to my business, the house is great, Abdirahman is a fantastic host too 😊

The house looks exactly like it does in the photos—no surprises, no disappointments. The view is stunning, and there’s a large shared pool that’s perfect for relaxing. Everything was very clean, and Silvia was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond. The location is unbeatable—it’s right on the beach, just a couple of steps away. Unfortunately, we visited during the low season, so we ended up going to Garoda Beach to swim. Still, I’m sure that during the high season, you can fully enjoy the beautiful beach right in front of the house. Overall, we had a great experience. If there’s one thing I would suggest improving, it’s the interior design. Replacing the bedsheets on the couches with proper covers would make the space feel much more polished—and truly deserving of more than 5 stars.

Das Apartment ist komplett so,wie beschrieben in der Anzeige. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.Der Pool und die Liegen top (es fehlte leider die Erklärung,welche Liegen zum Apartment gehören) . Die Nachbarn (fast alles ausländische Dauermieter) legen großen Wert auf Regeln und Ruhe. Deshalb für Reisen mit Kinder nicht sehr zu empfehlen. Ansonsten tolle Unterkunft und toller Gastgeber.Vielen Dank
