House holiday rentals in Kenya

My wife and I needed a quick gate away for the long weekend and this was a great pick. The host was able to provide clear instructions to the location and alternatives which was super helpful. The house was so gorgeous, in a serene area and extremely clean. The support staff were also so kind. Our stay was short but such an amazing time and place to relax. We can’t wait to go back! 😀

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.

We enjoyed our stay here so much! Beautiful, clean, homely space with amazing staff members who made sure we were always comfortable. Also, the chef’s food, so so good! Can’t wait to be back!

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.

We had a lovely time at Lavender Villa and will definitely be back again!

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.

Anna was a great host and it was so lovely to have our chocolate Labrador join us and enjoy the location right by Galu Beach. Anna has 2 really cute ridgebacks who are super friendly and got along with our dog. The house was super cute and clean, and perfect for a couple with a dog. Walking distance from Salty Squid and close to a kit surfing school as well. It was slightly hot during the night, but Anna provided an extra fan which did wonders! Anna was a wonderful host and super friendly and helpful, Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back soon :)

The first thing I did when I arrived at Eddy's was facetime my family to give them a tour - the place is absolutely stunning. From the spacious and airy bedrooms to the rooftop terraces, this home is perfectly designed. Moreover, the staff were communicative and ensured our stay was comfortable. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Truly an outstanding place to stay! We recommend you book it immediately. Honestly, even after looking at the pictures, the property exceeded all expectations. Great for our family of five people. Wife and spacious house, kitchen, and bedrooms. Numerous balconies off each bedroom. And the large patio out the back door was especially lovely in the mornings. Most of all, lovely people to deal with!

Simply this place is heaven on earth, Damien and his team were an excellent I’m support and communication We had stayed in the yellow house for one night, i wish we had more time to stay more but will definitely come back again Highly recommended and their attention to details is really impressive

Thank Chichi and Samson and team for hosting us sfo well. Absolutely a wonderful time in every way. Thank yo for dong all our shopping and serving s authentic meals each day. Can’t wait to return. The large house is perfect for teams giving each his own space! Blessings

Wonderful location close to the mountain, the home is really inviting and is in a great compound with lots of greenery and birds, the back yard is amazing. The home was also kept in a very pristine condition. The staff was very warm and accommodating which made our stay even more memorable.

Our stay at Ua House was wonderful! The staff was amazing—friendly and proactive—and the location was absolutely idyllic. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

GREAT STAY AT MOUNT KENYA WILDLIFE ESTATE ! Megan’s place was well equipped, located literally 2 mn drive from Ol Pejeta SERAT Gate, you can enjoy in and out the park from 7 am to 7 pm ! A little bonefire place could be a plus to enjoy the chill night and watch the stars.

This place exceeded our expectations—it’s even more beautiful than in the pictures! The lake view is absolutely breathtaking, with hippos right in front of the house and plenty of wildlife in the surroundings. The staff was outstanding, and the chef prepared delicious meals for us every day. We highly recommend this place.

The beach cottage was absolutely amazing. My mum and I had an amazing three nights and we loved every second of it. The cottage is right next to the beach but the best beaches are about 10mins walk and another is about 10mins with the uber boats. Julius and Fondo made us delicious Swahili meals and their hospitality was top notch. Lamu is nothing like any other beaches in Kenya…it’s a must visit!

A beautiful relaxing spot that is near the beach and private. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. A clean house!

We had a wonderful 4 nights stay with family of 5. The owner responded quickly, send us very detailed information of all you need to know and arranged pick up at Mombasa airport. The staff is very friendly, helpful and at the same time gives you privacy. Reuben the chef provided us splendid meals, we especially enjoyed all the fresh seafood!Recommended is to do shopping before arrival because bigger supermarkets are 40 minutes drive away. Fruits, vegetables, water, fish, soda’s are easy to get in the village but for more luxurious groceries you have to go to the bigger supermarkets. You can book the pick up from the airport with a shopping stop in Nyali. Neen Tree is a lovely family house with marvellous view and direct access to the ocean. A friendly monkey family lives on the property and are fun to watch. Besides the pool we loved going snorkelling on the rif using the equipment from the house. For transport we used Tsuma with a comfortable 7 seater which we used for a Kilifi trip.

The hole team is great. From Geoffrey to Moses and the washing ladies, all very friendly. If you have questions, the will give reaction in max 5 minutes. Top Team

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.

Janet's property offers an exceptional stay experience. It provided a comfortable and homely environment. The residence was impeccably clean and exceedingly comfortable. Our group of 7 had ample space and felt genuinely welcomed. The location is both convenient and secure. Peter, the caretaker, provided outstanding hospitality and was always available to assist with any needs. We also appreciated the friendly resident dog, Tana (I hope that’s how it’s spelt). The house is fitted with modern furnishings and equipment. Janet thoughtfully provided breakfast items, including eggs, milk, and bread, which we greatly appreciated. This accommodation in Nakuru comes highly recommended, and I rate it 5 stars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future.

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 :)

We’ve just had a great 10 day stay at Nyumba Yulia! The highlight for us and our kids was the amazing pool which was very well kept! We loved that it was a quick stroll to the beach - which is quite busy, but great at low tide for the kids- lots of rock pools to wander around and beautiful shallow water to wallow in. The house is in quite a built up area of Watamu so expect some noise and people as you step outside. The staff were lovely and helpful but not always discrete. Other small things we appreciated- block out curtains, aircons (definitely needed), outdoor shower. Easy enough to Tuk Tuk around, and overall a wonderful restful holiday for us!
