House vacation rentals in Kenya

Tulua House is truly a hidden gem. My partner and I had the most incredible stay here on our way to a safari, and we are already dreaming of returning. The house is in a perfect location, spacious, serene, and beautifully styled with Swahili touches. My favourite moments were enjoying the outdoor shower under the tropical sun, unwinding in the private garden in the evenings, and soaking in the warm hospitality. Ilya is a superhost in every sense, wonderfully responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating throughout our stay. Margaret, the house manager, is extremely professional and incredibly helpful, she made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. We are already planning our next visit.

We enjoyed our stay here so much! Beautiful, clean, homely space with amazing staff members who made sure we were always comfortable. Also, the chef’s food, so so good! Can’t wait to be back!

We had a wonderful 4 nights stay with family of 5. The owner responded quickly, send us very detailed information of all you need to know and arranged pick up at Mombasa airport. The staff is very friendly, helpful and at the same time gives you privacy. Reuben the chef provided us splendid meals, we especially enjoyed all the fresh seafood!Recommended is to do shopping before arrival because bigger supermarkets are 40 minutes drive away. Fruits, vegetables, water, fish, soda’s are easy to get in the village but for more luxurious groceries you have to go to the bigger supermarkets. You can book the pick up from the airport with a shopping stop in Nyali. Neen Tree is a lovely family house with marvellous view and direct access to the ocean. A friendly monkey family lives on the property and are fun to watch. Besides the pool we loved going snorkelling on the rif using the equipment from the house. For transport we used Tsuma with a comfortable 7 seater which we used for a Kilifi trip.

Beautifully furnished and very peaceful...will be a repeat guest.

We had a lovely time in Susie’s place. Brilliant location, large pool, friendly staff. Communication was excellent, with a great information packet provided in advance. Highly recommended.

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.

Absolutely beautiful place, super responsive host, and very helpful staff! Because of the rain (and therefore needed plastic to cover windows) the bedrooms were quite hot even during the night, as the plastic used to protect from rain blocked air to enter the bedrooms properly. The fans help, but don’t fully do the job. I’m guessing this is only a temporary solution though :)

We’ve just had a great 10 day stay at Nyumba Yulia! The highlight for us and our kids was the amazing pool which was very well kept! We loved that it was a quick stroll to the beach - which is quite busy, but great at low tide for the kids- lots of rock pools to wander around and beautiful shallow water to wallow in. The house is in quite a built up area of Watamu so expect some noise and people as you step outside. The staff were lovely and helpful but not always discrete. Other small things we appreciated- block out curtains, aircons (definitely needed), outdoor shower. Easy enough to Tuk Tuk around, and overall a wonderful restful holiday for us!

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

The first thing I did when I arrived at Eddy's was facetime my family to give them a tour - the place is absolutely stunning. From the spacious and airy bedrooms to the rooftop terraces, this home is perfectly designed. Moreover, the staff were communicative and ensured our stay was comfortable. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Sandarusi is a beautiful house, set on our favourite stretch of beach - we'll be back! Thanks to Anthony and Rodgers for looking after us so well

My wife and I needed a quick gate away for the long weekend and this was a great pick. The host was able to provide clear instructions to the location and alternatives which was super helpful. The house was so gorgeous, in a serene area and extremely clean. The support staff were also so kind. Our stay was short but such an amazing time and place to relax. We can’t wait to go back! 😀

Sanctuary Farm is such a special place – a little paradise with all the wildlife roaming around. We absolutely loved the house – both the interior and exterior are stunning. It was super clean and had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen (though with Kijiko restaurant right there, we didn’t cook much – the food is just too good!). Huge thanks to Felix and Muhabi for having us, and to Cosmo for being such a great little host – our son had the best time playing with you and your toys. We’ll definitely be back!

Lorine’s place is amazing! I feel like the antique furniture and aesthetics of the colonial styles was flawless! I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends in the future. I can’t wait to come again to see the wonderful puppy/guard dog who is always so friendly! Thank you Lorine and Emmanuel!

Thank Chichi and Samson and team for hosting us sfo well. Absolutely a wonderful time in every way. Thank yo for dong all our shopping and serving s authentic meals each day. Can’t wait to return. The large house is perfect for teams giving each his own space! Blessings

We had a lovely time at Lavender Villa and will definitely be back again!

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.

Truly an outstanding place to stay! We recommend you book it immediately. Honestly, even after looking at the pictures, the property exceeded all expectations. Great for our family of five people. Wife and spacious house, kitchen, and bedrooms. Numerous balconies off each bedroom. And the large patio out the back door was especially lovely in the mornings. Most of all, lovely people to deal with!

Janet's property offers an exceptional stay experience. It provided a comfortable and homely environment. The residence was impeccably clean and exceedingly comfortable. Our group of 7 had ample space and felt genuinely welcomed. The location is both convenient and secure. Peter, the caretaker, provided outstanding hospitality and was always available to assist with any needs. We also appreciated the friendly resident dog, Tana (I hope that’s how it’s spelt). The house is fitted with modern furnishings and equipment. Janet thoughtfully provided breakfast items, including eggs, milk, and bread, which we greatly appreciated. This accommodation in Nakuru comes highly recommended, and I rate it 5 stars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future.

had a great stay nice peaceful clean and Fredrick was a great host

An absolutely amazing house with incredible views. Clean, comfortable, beautiful made and decorated. The staff are excellent, the rooms comfortable, and the pool crystal clean and refreshing. It's as good as it looks in the photos, if not better. Would absolutely recommend it and plan to come again.

Great house. Great pool. Friendly caretaker. Communicative host. Definitely plan on staying there again.

beautiful Villa, great plot & garden, fantastic terrace and pool area. Staff is very friendly and super helpful. Something which clearly is beyond the host´s control.....is the poor connection road from Diani Beach Rd to get to the place....but this is a general problem with all connecting and sandy roads in Diani Beach, outside the main road.

We were staying at Rusty’s House as a family for 5 nights and it was the perfect final accommodation for our holidays. The house is just stunning, it looks much greater than on the pictures, there is a gigantic baobab tree in the garden and a wonderful sea view pool. We enjoyed the barbecue/sundowner spot several times with William and Zu preparing delicious meat, fish and vegetables. Supermarket is only 10 min by car and you will just have to buy the food and William will cook if you wish so. Overall, the whole staff team was absolutely great! Zu made us feel so much welcomed and kept the house perfectly clean. William prepared delicious breakfast and dinner and we also enjoyed his lovely fish curry. Gardener Paul and the night guard did great jobs, the garden was beautiful and we felt very safe! There is two direct entries from the garden to the beach and we enjoyed it almost every day. We also did a Dhau and snorkel trip with Captain Max which was wonderful! We’d love to come back!
