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 Home
Great location and stunning views. Also the path to the beach is pretty close :) Responsive and friendly hosts, great recommendation

I booked the house for a family holiday, and it was perfect , we truly felt at home. The house and rooms were clean, and we had a wonderful time. Lena and Winnie were incredibly helpful during our stay, assisting us with everything we needed and making our experience unforgettable.

Samara Studio Beachfront Apartment - Diani Beach
Catherine was extremely responsive and quick to answer any queries. The studio was very clean, kitchen well-equipped, bed comfortable, and flat-screen TV with Netflix etc. Outside there are two swimming pools and a paddling pool, nicely landscaped gardens, and on the ground floor of the hotel there is an extensive open area with lots of seating which swallows/house martins dart through. Pleasant place to sit, as it catches the breeze. My wife is Kenyan, a medical professional, and we were both impressed by the Catherine's place. We have stayed at several Air BnBs along the Kenyan coast over the last few years, and this was the best we have found. We travelled with our infant son, who seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. Would definitely return.

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

Affordable Beach Front/SEA View 3BR Apartment
This place will definitely exceed your expectations! It’s beautiful and spacious with a breathtaking view! Elizabeth is the best host have seen so far. She took us around to see several apartments so that we could choose whatever we liked; and left when we were all comfortable and settled. She always checked on us to make sure everything was ok. We are definitely coming back!

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.

Samawati, Msambweni south beach
Impeccable. Susie and her team were incredibly welcoming and we enjoyed every minute! Will definitely come again

Stunning Rooftop House only 2min from Diani Beach
We had an awesome experience. The property manager, Patience, was very helpful, attentive, and professional. She welcomed us when we arrived with cool refreshments. The property was very well maintained. The restaurant food was good as well. The property offered a personal chef. He was amazing and professional. We stayed in one of the villas which was absolutely beautiful!! I would stay again and highly recommend it. Also, the spa services were great as well.

Mzuri Beach House - Diani - Kenya
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.

B3 at Diani Beachalets
I enjoyed with my family stay at John's place, beachfront cottages.

Under The Stars Kenya, Diani South Coast
Our stay in villa was pure bliss. From the warm hospitality to the exquisite food by cook Rowa and his team, every detail was perfect. The tranquil surroundings and breathtaking views made for a truly relaxing escape. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team—we can’t wait to return!

MilaMax Beach villa Diani
The Villa was the perfect place for our family. There were 9 of us, with each couple having their own room and private bathroom, we had plenty of comfortable space. The pool was private and welcoming. The beach was a very short walk, maybe 3-5 minutes, with beachside restaurants accessible along the shore. The chef was very affordable and the food splendid! The staff were friendly, pleasant and accommodating. The onsite manager, Evelyn, was always available and helpful. She arranged for three of us to have a massage by the pool. We would gladly stay again!!

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.

Enjoyable stay at Omondi's place. Easy check in process. The building is generally old but the apartment had all the basics required. The host was extremely helpful and responsive and proactive . We had an enjoyable stay overall. Thank you Omondi.

Apartment Sandcastle 108 Seaview Diani beach
Amazing apartment! Excellent location, great amenities, responsive host, private beach access. Would definitely be back and highly recommend!

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!

3 Bedroom Deluxe Beach Apartment
If you're looking for a safe and secure place to stay in a good part of Mombasa this is it. Located in English Point, Nyali, the complex and apartment is with easy reach of everything you want to see. The view is great, the place is new and has a wonderful view. The hosts have you covered on information and places to stay. Good wifi and beach below. Good for families or singles. Lovely dog Bobby. I'll be back.

Demure
Marries place is as it is in the photos! Very clean house, she's always responsive and also calls in to check on you out of the blue despite her busy schedule, she makes you feel at home and like a friend you have known for years despite having never met her in person! I would 1000% recommend her place, it's worth every penny for sure! Shanzu/serena beach is just a stone throw away and also you can go for spa and padel and volleyball at Serena beach hotel or Pride Inn hotel which are next door to Marries place. Had an overall great experience, looking to come back again for the breathtaking view of the ocean from her balcony!
