Waterfront vacation rentals in Great Rift Valley

A great place to stay in Dar👌

We had a joyful stay. Will come back definitely.

The place is beautiful and clean, I had peaceful and comfortable weekend get away in Hashim's house. Will definitely go back with my family.

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

The apartment is very comfortable, well put together and convenient on located to many facilities. Benson was also a super host, very responsive and proactive. Would recommend for anyone traveling to Nairobi. Will certainly visit again

Brenda and Ire's place is a true home, not an apartment that is only rented out. Lots of quirky decor, very colourful, we loved it (family with two teenage daughters). The girls could just walk around by themselves in town, it is all very friendly. Comfy beds and shower. The rooms were a bit hot in January, but manageable with the extra fans provided. Ire, Omar and Salum were very helpful and kind. Brenda wasn't around, but provided timely and extensive communication ahead of our stay. We have been coming to Stone town since 1994; and even with the mass tourism now firmly established on Unguja, Stone town somehow manages to keep its own spirit and this place reflects that spirit. Great stay, we were very happy to come here.

Great host . Helped me with everything and was very responsive . The building staff is great . Security so very safe . Nice pool and steps away from the most beautiful beach. Internet worked normally and she had fans which most airbnb do not have in Kenya ( in addition to ceiling fan ) and soon as you step out there are tuk tuk so transportation was easy and food is nearby . The Pilau and bar Nextdoor is amazing . Glad I booked and had the chance to relax

Undoubtedly this has been my most enjoyable stay with Trizah’s apartment providing us with everything that we required and more. The property is super clean, tidy and immaculately looked after. Greatest of all was the extra mile that Trizah went to in decorating the apartment to suit the theme for our Honeymoon stay. There will be very few words to express how grateful we are. Finally, we appreciate the tireless effort by the cleaning ladies.

Our stay was stress free and Jess’s team was very responsive. The property is beautiful as is the view. Would recommend this stay for larger groups since it’s a fairly large house. All in all, we had an amazing time

This was our 4th time at Kilimandege House. Bethany is very informative and responsive as a host. Millie always takes good care of us. She is knowledgeable and quick to respond when we need something. We love this place and highly recommend others to stay there. Thank you Bethany and Millie for always making us welcome

This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

Thanks again Alec!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ingrid's place. The ability to walk out directly to the beach was incredible - as well as the night bed! It was very clean and the flexible check-in worked out very well for us as we were running a little late. Overall, great stay and well worth it.

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

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, she’s a gem. We shall definitely be back especially because there was great Starlink Wifi! Only thing is, don’t expect calls on Safaricom or Airtel networks so it’s great when you don’t need to be on call 😀 Cheers to a great start of the year Dion 😇🙏🏽🤓 Tip; it’s near Solio conservancy, take the turn at the PCEA Nanyuki church signage, drive 2.7kms & you won’t miss it ☺️

Dolphin House is a truly unique place and experience. The position directly on the beach is priceless - I could never get sick of the view! There's a good balance of home comforts and the privacy of the house with still feeling connected with the outside, the community and just generally being in Zanzibar. We spent all of our time in the outside space - rotating between the sofas, the loungers on the beach, the table and the pool. It's incredibly well thought out and comfy! Rudy and his local team were always on hand. The chefs, in particular, are exceptional - while you are handy for plenty of restaurants and bars, we enjoyed every breakfast and most of our dinners at the villa. When you have the best spot on the beach, there was very little reason to leave!

We had great time. Very convenient to reach the tourist attractions and restaurants. The host was super and responded promptly.

Excellent stay as always. Great host

Mamdali is a great host of helpful , always trying to provide the information and any help possible. it was a great time for me in Zanzibar 🙏♥️

A great apartment for a perfect holiday. The service team on site was reliable and very friendly. The communication with Miguel was excellent and helpful. I'd love to come back next time.

We stayed 11 nights and had a great time. The host was super responsive, Fred who takes care of guests day to day was amazing. The apartment is beautifully furnished with a view over the gardens and ocean. It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, it also has a big balcony. You definitely know you in the topics with monkeys on the balcony and gardens, we loved that! It is in a really convenient location with a large multi floor super market only a short walk away plus lots of shops and restaurants within an easy walk. It was safe with security at the main gates and in the complex. The beach is only a 2 minutes walk. Lots of tuk tuks passing by to get around. We had a fantastic stay and would 100% recommend! Thanks for hosting us👍

The staff was the best part of the stay. They were amazing, especially Dan. The property is next to the beach and in the middle of a village. Seeing the African culture and way of living mixed with paradisiac views…was riveting. Several descent restaurants in the area as well. Will definitely book again.

Marie truly understands hospitality. My stay was comfortable... the neighbourhood is tranquille... the place is well maintained & cleaned. There was refillable dispenser water. I liked the fact that there was a coffee maker too. Marie is also responsive and helpful. I'll definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment that lives up to the pictures and description with beautiful views from the balcony. Brian was very proactive, helpful and responsive. Will be back again. Thank you!
