Family-friendly vacation rentals in Diani

Great place to stay. Secluded, private and wonderfully located. Kitchen staff superlative. Pool great for all the family. Very roomy.

Villa Shaanti was like a stay in paradise. On-site employees work hard to keep the entire compound beautiful 24/7. Really loved that we could hire Mohammed the talented chef for meals. Our kids are still talking about him! The pool provided endless hours of fun and our teenager appreciated that there was AC available in the bedrooms.The location of Villa Shaanti is perfect for walking to the beach and other popular spots, it’s also very easy to get a Tuktuk right outside the main gate. The only drawback for me was the presence of the cats who would walk through the kitchen and meow loudly, but everything else was perfect!

We had a fantastic stay with family at Sandarusi. Wonderful location and fantastic food! The staff running the house were fantastic! Thank you!

African house is beautiful with a well kept large garden and pool. It Is very clean with diffent animal themed bed rooms. located in a central location that makes it easy to access the beach, shops and restaurants. Dog friendly too meaning we took our pet with us. The staff are really friendly and very proactive. The host is very responsive and helpful. I have already recommended it to my family and Friends for their Christmas holidays.

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!

lovely house, amazing location, will definitely be back!

Lovely place to stay with my family for 5 nights over New Year. Short walk to Beach, great chef Jacob and housekeeper Janet always there to help. Comfortable and clean. Lots of space. Great pool. House and eating area nicely shaded from the heat.

The house is beautifully presented with 4 enormous double bedrooms, two with equally enormous balconies. The pictures do not do the property justice. Mzuri House is part of a well run little complex. Security is ever present and you feel perfectly at ease at all times. The house feels very private and is 20M from the quieter Galu Beach, an extension of Diani beach. Sails and Salty Squid restaurants are excellent and only 100M. However the main attractions at Mzuri House are Liz the housekeeper and Shee the chef. Both were amazing hosts. Liz will communicate with before you arrive. She will arrange everything for you from airport pick-ups to restaurant bookings as well as keep the house spotless. Shee the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and lunch and / or dinner. All meals were extraordinary local dishes that our usually difficult to please 3 kids devoured! We can not recommend Mzuri House enough and in particular Liz and Shee.

best place we have stayed , fantastic house at a good location walking distance to some restaurants and the beach ⛱️ I would recommend anyone to stay here . special thx to Patrick and george who are great hosts ! we will be back for sure

Our experience in Kiko’s place in Diani was truly unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional accommodation we had. The house was not only beautiful and serene but also spotless throughout our stay. It provided the perfect environment for rest, relaxation, and family fun. We particularly enjoyed the ready-to-use pool, which became a favorite spot for everyone. A standout aspect of our stay was the exquisite meals we had. The chef prepared amazing meals that delighted us every day. Each dish was flavorful, well-presented, and made with care—a true highlight of our visit. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Great location in Diani. The house is unique having access to a pool and being right on the beach. Nearby restaurants and bars are super easy to walk to along the beach, the closest one is only 5 minutes away. The section of the beach the house is on is very clean and quiet. The house was lovely and very clean. Risper (housekeeper) and Wafula (chef) made our stay amazing. I would highly recommend this apartment for staying in Diani and will definitely come back.

Lucia's place was an amazing stay for my friends and I. We had the pleasure of renting out all the villa's on Lucia's property which was ideal for a large group such as ourselves. So please consider this location for both small or large groups as the place can easily accommodate both options. The villas are in a nice location with easy access to a beach which is a few metres away on foot. It was easy to find the location on Google Maps and through the pin shared by Lucia and her team. There are also a couple of restaurants and cafes in the area if you would like to venture out and explore. Lucia has maintained the villas very well, keeping them spotless clean, tidy and well fitted with accessories such as portable fans, day beds, lounge pillows, daybeds, extra towels etc. She has a great team of staff who were courteous, extremely helpful , well mannered and happy. We also noted that Lucia was hands on and in some cases worked alongside her team completing chores. Lucia lives close to the property and occasionally popped in to check on us but still provided us with privacy to enjoy our holiday. She was also kind enough to give us a New Year's gift which was nice touch. Lucia had a team of chefs available as part of the stay and they made us some amazing meals. The breakfast options were tasty and non-monotonous. I also highly recommend having the chefs make you some Seafood as they made us some of the most tasty seafood we've ever had. The place is also very secure. There was a guard available who would reconfirm with us any visitors before letting them in and there is also a lockable garage area if you come with a car. Overall, our stay was great. We had a lot of fun, the place was clean and the staff were always at hand to help us with anything we asked for such as booking massage sessions at the villas, covid testing, taxis etc. I highly recommend the place as you can feel Lucia's personal which makes the place feel like a home away from home.

Always a pleasure staying at this listing.... 10/10 minus nothing! Already looking forward to my next stay....

After a few bookings in the area fell through due to dishonest listings and poor cleanliness, we were feeling stuck for somewhere to go during our stay (make sure you vet your accommodation in Diani!!). We found Leonards place last min, and he was so responsive and helpful from the get go. We arrived to a lovely, clean villa exactly as described - Rose and the rest of the staff were so friendly and present, making our stay very enjoyable. The AC in the rooms provided immediate respite from the heat of the coast. The kitchen is well stocked and we managed to cook up some great meals. With no AC in the living space, it does get a little stuffy but not a huge issue for us. The villa is actually more like an 8 min walk to the beachfront and Pallet Cafe, and nighttime dips in the shared pool provided some peaceful stargazing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say booking into Leonard's place rescued our trip! We'd love to book both villas next time for a longer stay with more people.

We had a wonderful 8 day stay at Sean's place. Check in was easy and the place matched the photos exactly. This was our first time in Diani and Sean provided a guide to which was very helpful. His place is located in the middle of Diani and very accessible to the beach, restaurants, shopping and activities. We had plenty of drinking water and housekeeper came every 4 days. With the amenities, location, excellent host and overall value, Sean's place was a great choice. Can't wait to comeback.

We spend 6 nights at the beautiful garden villa and we had a great time. It was amazing to be so close to nature - and everything that goes with it. We had some incidents where monkeys came in and stole our groceries from the fridge. We solved the problem by putting a chair in front, and then there was no more steeling. We could only laugh at it, and it just made our visit more authentic. But a quick fix could be to put some simple children locks on the fridge. The villa is located a 10 minute walk from Chandarana (grocery store) and it had direct access to the beach, where sun-beds were provided so beach sellers would not disturb you. The staff were amazing and very kind. So a big thank you to Sylvia, Freda, mama Hawa Abdahllah, David, Daniel, Hassan, and everybody else for making us feel welcome, save, and looked after.

Akiki apartments afford exceptional quality and hospitality, all in a prime location. Tom is an excellent host; proactive, friendly and very helpful to assist with your stay on site and with wider recommendations for transport and things to do. His team also made us feel tremendously welcome for the whole stay - we will be coming back!

Great place! Silvio was a great host very responsive host. The home was beautiful we did have a bit of difficulty finding the actual home but the guard at the gate or the house lady is able to come find you and give directions. They have ac in the 2 master rooms downstairs to stay cool. We also used the Chef recommended he was great as well just give him the list of things what you want and he will make it for you. The property is laid out very nicely a lot of trees and greenery around very beautiful would definitely recommend.
