Beachfront holiday rentals in Kwale County

The place is easy to find, matched what was sold to us and Joyce was a great host who kept the communication lines open.

What a beautiful beautiful place. The pictures don’t do the house justice and Tiwi is a beach that is still as gorgeous as it was 30 years ago. No beach boys, no grief just lovely people everywhere. We snorkelled, swam in the pool, swam in the sea, played on the beach, rock pool hunted on the reef. Saw amazing starfish, moray eel, box fish and 3 types of sea hare as well as the “usual stuff”. We missed turtles hatching by 24 hours, but watched one come up to lay her eggs . The perfect place to spend a few days with the family chilling, talking and reconnecting. The verandah at the front is the best hub place. Then food - Anthony creates magic in the kitchen. Fresh fish, fruit and his tempura squid with coriander and soy sauce was delish. Fred the taxi driver is great and as a mixed family of 6 we could be as active and busy or not as we chose. The best way to end a trip to Kenya and as a previous resident it was perfect -Asante Tanya xx

it was perfect for a relax vacation. And the reception was very friendly and helpful

We had a great stay at the property and suitable for little children. Rachel the housekeeper welcomed us and came daily, the property had everything we needed for a long week end stay. The beach was a few meters from the house with an Askari (guard) on the gate and an Askari on the main gate so you felt safe. The pool is wonderful just what was needed to cool off in the heat. We chose to have a chef, John, who bought all the groceries and fish and prepared everything requested even during a power cut he produced our evening meal. Would definitely recommend this place.

The house was cozy and very private in an idyllic location steps from the beach. The staff, Elizabeth and Duca are wonderful and made our stay so comfortable. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic location for a peaceful getaway location. The beach has barely anyone and we had a great time enjoying the beach The garden, pool was spacious and huge. Children loved the space. We enjoyed the food prepared by the chef please note this is a separate cost/arrangement. Omari also organised our transfer from the airport and back. It was an approximate 2hrs drive from Mombasa international airport. I would highly recommend this location. The staff were very welcoming and so was the environment.

We enjoyed our time at Sunshine House very much. The place is right by the ocean, perfect for a relaxing vacation at the beach. Shaban and Christian are great hosts, they were very helpful before and during the stay and gave great advice for things to do and places to visit.

Amazing! Lovely place , perfect location . The apartment was more than expected. The bed was confortable. The appartement was cleaned everyday. The view is just wonderful . I will be back for sure. Thanks Margaret !

Great place, clean with great access to the beach . the pool was very clean and staff were quiet attentive. would definitely recommend

I had a wonderful stay at Sarah’s place! The home was spotless and just as described. Sarah was incredibly attentive and responsive—she always replied quickly and was very helpful throughout my stay. Her hospitality really made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed Airbnb.

My family had a fantastic experience. The property was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described. The host was very responsive. I highly recommend this place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay

Nadia’s villa was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful house, garden and pool, safe, 5 minutes from beach. The resort staff and in particular Carol, who looks after the house - everyone looked after us really well. Carol made the week really easy, and went out of her way to help us find our feet, first time in Mombasa - she also made us some great meals. A perfect location, I would love to come back!

Not much to add to my previous reviews. My favourite place at Cowrie Shell. 100% recommend.

I had an amazing stay at this property! Everything was exactly as depicted in the pictures, which was such a relief. The property itself was quiet, well-maintained, had a groundsman, and was stocked with all the simple essentials needed for a comfortable stay. Its location is unbeatable—just a few minutes walk to the beach with private access, which felt like such a luxury. The community is secure with 24-hour security, providing great peace of mind, and it’s conveniently located just minutes from Ukunda Airport. Shopping centers and social activities are also close by, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area. There was a small misunderstanding about the guest policy during check-in, but it was resolved quickly and professionally. The host was incredibly pleasant and extremely communicative throughout the entire stay, ensuring everything went smoothly. He even provided a list of activities and suggested very helpful restaurants. I would stay here again!!

We had a lovely stay at this apartment. The location is fantastic just a short walk to the beach, which made our trip even more relaxing. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was smooth, and check-in was hassle-free. We truly enjoyed the peaceful setting and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a beachside getaway in Diani.

Faith is a kind and responsive host. I always choose to stay with her when I am in Diani as I know I can count on her to always be available. The place itself is in the best location at Blue Marlin and next to Salty Squid, but also with fully equipped amenities. I would recommend to anyone!

A great place for staying. Very near to ocean. The host is very helpful.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home — spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable thanks to the air conditioning and fans, making nights by the beach relaxing and restful. Irene (the housekeeper) and Abdallah (the chef) truly made our stay unforgettable. Their warmth and attention to detail made the house feel like home, and by the end of the trip, they genuinely felt like part of the family. The house has everything you need, including beach towels for both the semi-private pool and the beach, which is just a few steps away. Getting around was easy — we hopped on a tuk-tuk to explore the town and visit places like Stiltz, where we even got to feed bush babies! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return in a heartbeat.

Villa by the Beach was all that we expected and more. The pictures matched our expectations. The space was very clean with neat bedding and towels. Having travelled with family, it was very family friendly. Absolutely loved the outdoor space for early mornings and in the afternoons. The staff were great too. Maikel was very responsive and supportive. Jason and the security guy were also very professional and helpful. We surely enjoyed our stay and would definately recommend Villa by the Beach.

Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!

I enjoyed my stay at Catherine's place. The place was very comfortable and spacious. There are many activities to do within the area, and Catherine is very responsive before and after check-in. We appreciate the hospitality. Definitely recommend it.

Matthias was an incredibly communicative and kind host. His place is beachfront, in a great location for Diani. I loved having a view of the garden and sand from the couches on the outside patio. We had a couple small issues, but Matthias was quick to communicate and handle those with us. Very grateful for the wonderful stay

This place gives a feeling you won't get anywhere else. me and my friends had an amazing time in the company of Rose and Halima. Thanks to amazing Scarlett who helped with literally everything.

Another great stay at the Apartment. With round-the-clock A/C, great amenities, and an organized host: HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN HERE.
