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!

Sea Breeze Getaway
I had an amazing stay at Ayanâs 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 youâre in North coast Mombasa!

SĂş Casa - Ocean View, Remote Work Friendly
Staying with June was very nice. A nice room with everything included! Especially the view over the creek is beautiful (especially at sunset). The distance to the supermarket and downtown is also good, easy to walk to. It can get pretty hot in the room though. Fortunately there is air conditioning, but we noticed that it takes a while before the big room is really cool. When we had questions, June responded super quickly and proactively.

Le Mac Fully Furnished Luxury Apartment 1113
Beautiful place thanks to Mary. I will be back

Executive 1 bedroom with a heated swimming pool
My stay at Benson's was truly wonderful. He is incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring a seamless experience. His Airbnb stands out as one of the best in Nairobi. The apartment boasts a breathtaking view, stunning decor, and impeccable cleanliness, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly feels like home. Without a doubt, I will be booking again on my next visit to Nairobi.

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.

Luxury Ocean Front Family Villa Tiwi Beach Kenya
What a gorgeous place. If youâre 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.

Ka 'Makuti Villa
Such a lovely home, well kept and clean. Very welcoming and so private. Will definable come back.

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Enjoyed the stay. Beautiful views of the ocean. My family and I left very relaxed.

River cottage
We loved the tranquility at the cottage, exactly what we needed to begin the new year. The fact that we had the unit to ourselves was amazing, perfect for couples. We got raw cow milk daily for free & even green vegetables when we requested. There was everything we needed & more, loved the home made chili offered. Catherine the help was too kind & always available to help, sheâs a gem. We shall definitely be back especially because there was great Starlink Wifi! Only thing is, donât expect calls on Safaricom or Airtel networks so itâs great when you donât need to be on call đ Cheers to a great start of the year Dion đđđ˝đ¤ Tip; itâs near Solio conservancy, take the turn at the PCEA Nanyuki church signage, drive 2.7kms & you wonât miss it âşď¸

Cosy Bofa Beach House
Jess is a fantastic host! The cook was incredibly helpful, prepared delicious and practical meals, and the garden is absolutely wonderful â a true highlight of the stay. Highly recommend!

MilaMax Beach villa Diani
We really enjoyed our stay at MilaMax! It was like paradise. Very nice and helpful staff, and an excellent chef who cooked everything we wished for. Very beautiful home inside and out - we especially loved the pool area and the proximity to the beach. We also had a very nice massage at the end place. Can only recommend!

Fantastic House, Lake Naivasha
This place exceeded our expectationsâitâs 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.

Your Coastal Oasis!
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.

Lion House beach house
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!

Apartment Sandcastle 108 Seaview Diani beach
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

Stunning beach front apartment
Federicaâs place is beautiful - very spacious and the deck/views are wonderful. There is a gate and security that made us feel comfortable, and the pool and grounds are very well kept. Itâs walkable to several restaurants and shops, with tuk tuks nearby as well. Would just caution anyone traveling during the low season (I think April to July) to look and see if restaurants are open; we struck out a few times at some places that are walkable from the Airbnb.

Patch by the Ocean, a 2 bed beach front apartment
Susanâs 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 Susanâs 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 couldnât stand. There is no âkiddie poolâ

Panoramic penthouse overlooking the sea and wonderful pool
A fantastic apartment with a magic beach view â¨ď¸ âąď¸đ Highly recommend without any further explanation.. Looking forward for my next visit and stay at this place đ

Fortamu Twiga House in Watamu, Beach Front
Franca's apartment is tastefully furnished, airy and with a sea view, as in the photos. The garden, pools and beach are a jewel...quiet and relaxing. Franca is a careful and thoughtful host, ready to give excellent advice on excursions, restaurants etc. Really super recommended!

Demure
I had a wonderful stay at Marieâs apartment during my conference at PrideInn Paradise, Mombasa. The location was perfectâconveniently close to the venue yet peaceful enough for rest after long days. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as it looks in the photos. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made check-in and check-out seamless. Overall, I truly appreciated the hospitality and would gladly stay here again during future visits to Mombasa. Highly recommended!
