Cozy 2Bedroom Beachfront Apartment.
We had an exceptional stay at Aaron's place. The location was perfect (just by the beach), in a peaceful neighborhood yet close to attractions. The place was spotless and well-equipped. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Aaron was an excellent host, always available on phone and helpful. His sister made an effort to pass by to ensure we were fully settled and took us around the compound to show us the swimming pool, gym, and access gate to the beach. He came in handy when we needed a chef. The balcony view was a highlight for us, directly facing the beach perfect for enjoying morning coffee and sunsets. The amenities, including the fast safaricom Wi-Fi and a smart TV, were great. Overall, it felt like a home away from home, and I would highly recommend it.

Beachfront Escape | 1-BR Apartment
Vivian's place was beautiful and very clean . She responded promptly to a sink repair that was needed also. The only issue was the Fridge, it's abit old and leaky, but everything else was perfect . It's exactly as displayed in the photos , also next to the beach and the pool was huge. will definitely recommend

Extraordinary Makena apartment at Nyali Mombasa.
It was a nice place. The host was very responsive. It was a pleasant stay. I recommend.

The Pearl of Garden Eden
Beautiful and cosy apartment that had more than enough room for my family. Communication with the hosts is prompt and seamless. They were able to get us a chef who spoilt us with Swahili cuisine, as well as a cleaner. Thanks again Ruediger and Lucier for hosting us.

Stunning 2 Bed Room Apartment with Ocean View
Me and my family had a wonderful time.

lido beach resort 2 bedroom apartment.
Beautiful two bedroom in a resort right on the beach with several restaurants nearby, and better value than booking directly through the hotel.

Pirates Beach Luxury Privat sea view 3 bedroom
Evan was a great host and his condo is amazing. He upgraded us to a larger unit that was available at no extra cost. We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful Indian Ocean view. I would book again without hesitation.

2 Bedroom Luxury Flat in Mombasa, Kenya.
I definitely would recommend a stay in this apartment. Steve was very friendly and helpful from the very first contact to our check out. The flat is very well situated, with a lot of space, comfortable, fully equipped, good and stable wifi etc., and an amazing view from the big balcony to the ocean. The apartment is also placed close to everything, the sea, the City Mall and nice restaurants. When I get back to Mombasa I will definitely book the same apartment again, if it’s available. Thank you very much Steve, for a very pleasant stay :) Claus

Mlima Cottage
For centuries mankind has been searching for the fountain of youth, and you still won't find it here, but you will find the doorway to paradise. With just one turn of the doorknob you walk through the doorway to paradise. The Indian Ocean rocking you asleep at night, your own personal chef preparing the amazing local delights, and blissful days of beach and ocean activities.

Makuti House, Vipingo, Sea-front home with pool
We just loved this place and thought it it even more beautiful than on the images. The tasteful house offers a spectacular view directly onto the ocean. The architecture is beautiful and everything works well. The place is located in a very safe and luxurious estate with access to a private beach an larger pool. We had daily visits from cute monekys and other pretty birds. The staff is very reliable and friendly and the chef great (this is a fully serviced house wirh a cook, someone doing the clothes etc.). Our only problem was, that we did not want to leave !

Luxury Ocean Front Family Villa Tiwi Beach Kenya
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.

MilaMax Beach villa Diani
Shamila’s home has beautiful character. My family loved the private swimming pool and the on site massages. We also utilized the chef who prepared many meals for us that were all flavorful and what we requested. The staff were so friendly and made us feel at home. We had a couple minor problems when we first arrived (a faucet and WiFi not working) and they immediately started working to resolve the problem. The staff recommended an excursion for us that turned out to be a highlight of our time there (glass bottom boat ride, snorkeling, and camel rides). We cannot say enough great things about the home and the hospitality we received from the staff. We hope to return some day to enjoy the facilities and the food again.

Okomos House Diani Beach, Kenya

Seaview Nyali, 3BR for 6pax
The apartment is close to Nyali City Mall, if you cannot find a TukTuk you can actually walk, just 5 minutes. But usually TukTuks are available. This is an extremely clean apartment, evrything is in very good order. One of the main advantages is the calm location, hardly any noise at night. I have stayed in other apartments with a lot of noise (traffic and other) at night. Communication was superb. Minor issues (and they were really minor) were solved immediately. The view from the 3 balconies is amazing, you can see the ocean. Beaches are within minutes by TukTuk. Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts are available. I will definitely consider booking again when I come back, even though the price is a bit on the high side.

Luxe apt |sea view|Ac|@antalya nyali
I had an absolutely incredible stay at this apartment. The view alone is worth every penny you can see almost the entire Mombasa coastline from the windows and balcony, making each sunrise and sunset unforgettable. The apartment is spacious and beautifully kept, with a modern yet cozy ambience that made me feel right at home. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities I could ask for. Additionally, the location was perfect, with a nearby mosque and a walking distance to all shops, supermarkets you name it; adding a unique cultural touch and peaceful vibe to the neighborhood. The combination of breathtaking views, cleanliness, and a relaxing atmosphere made my stay truly special. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone visiting Mombasa! Thank you to Soha abodes and her entire team i had an amaizing stay.😃

LUXE NYALI Seaview 3BR, Beach, Pool- AC EXTRA COST
had a rocky start with Bernice as I felt she was snappy at the first encounter but during my stay she was unbelievably on point with communication. she responded like minutes later and she fixed whatever that bothered me in less than 10 minutes. Yes, I said 10 minutes!!!! I don't believe there's any host better than her. she made my experience so much better in mombasa.

We loved our stay at Precious’ place. It was easy to find… close to the beach, very clean pool, friendly staff. Precious was quick to respond and help where needed. Absolutely loved the house and the amenities. We will definitely be heading back there

ELLA STUDIO 68 NEAR NYALI CENTRE
Very nice place in a good location for a reasonable price, although location on the listing is quite off compared to the real location, still nice neighbourhood. Had to pay for the AC to run, should be more clear. All in all it's a good place
