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

3 bedroom apartment on beach property with pool
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!

Maridadi Beach House, Diani Beach
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.

Sea Breeze Getaway
Ayan was a wonderful host! She welcomed us personally and showed us the beautifully furnished apartment. It was very clean and well maintained. Through her profile, we discovered fun activities and found great inspiration for our stay. She was very helpful, which made our stay much easier. I could reach her at any time, and she always responded quickly to my messages. The apartment is very bright, which we personally really liked. Itâs furnished in a minimalist Swahili style, which added a unique and charming touch. If itâs available next year, weâll definitely book again!

SĂș 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.

Malindi Beachfront Cottages - GF
Even in very mixed weather, we had a great stay in Cecilias house. What we love is the style of the house, the pool, and that its right on the beach. The maid Rosie is very attentive as well as Cecilia who is very flexible and communicative. Looking forward to return:)

Mahali Pazuri* | Diani Beach
We had a memorable stay! Really family friendly, excellent value for money, 2 minutes away from the beach, a lot of friendly monkeys, warm and almost private pool. It really was perfect for us! Staff was also impeccable! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Executive 1 bedroom with a heated swimming pool
I enjoyed staying at Benson's. Exactly as the photos and as described. I felt right at home and will definitely be back.

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.

Stunning Rooftop House only 2min from Diani Beach
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.

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Lieber Norbert, vielen herzlichen Dank fĂŒr den wunderschönen Aufenthalt in deinem Airbnb in Watamu! Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt â die Unterkunft war perfekt, super gepflegt und mit so viel Liebe eingerichtet. Auch die Lage war traumhaft! Deine Assistentin Helen war sehr zuverlĂ€ssig und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen wieder!

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

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 đđđœđ€ Tip; itâs near Solio conservancy, take the turn at the PCEA Nanyuki church signage, drive 2.7kms & you wonât miss it âșïž

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
Shamilaâs 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.

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.

Apartment Sandcastle 108 Seaview Diani beach
Place is very clean, owner communicates effectively making it much easy. Location of the property is very good, very close to the beach and service centre's. A very quiet and secure place

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.

Lovely 2-bedroom Condo with a heated pool and GYM
Lâappartement de Jackline est conforme Ă la description et aux photos, il est fonctionnel et trĂšs bien placĂ©. La salle de sport, la piscine ainsi que la boulangerie sont de vrais avantages. Nous recommandons et si nous sommes de nouveau de passage Ă Nairobi, nous reviendrons! Merci.

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

Blue Marlin Beach front apartment
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!

Fortamu Twiga House in Watamu, Beach Front
Notre sĂ©jour chez Franca sâest trĂšs bien passĂ©. Nous avons bien Ă©tĂ© reçues, et les aides de maison Ă©taient trĂšs serviable. Cadre paradisiaque, le jardin et ses nombreuses piscines sont parfait pour un sĂ©jour entre amis ou en famille ! AccĂšs Ă la plage. ProximitĂ© avec les restaurants et les magasins. Je recommande !

Demure
Marie's place was superb! We had an early arrival to Mombasa which Marie gladly accomodated. She was responsive and a phone call away incase we needed anything. Thank you Marie! We will visit again
