Beachfront vacation rentals in Kwale County

What a beautiful beautiful place. The pictures don’t do the house justice and Tiwi is a beach that is still as gorgeous as it was 30 years ago. No beach boys, no grief just lovely people everywhere. We snorkelled, swam in the pool, swam in the sea, played on the beach, rock pool hunted on the reef. Saw amazing starfish, moray eel, box fish and 3 types of sea hare as well as the “usual stuff”. We missed turtles hatching by 24 hours, but watched one come up to lay her eggs . The perfect place to spend a few days with the family chilling, talking and reconnecting. The verandah at the front is the best hub place. Then food - Anthony creates magic in the kitchen. Fresh fish, fruit and his tempura squid with coriander and soy sauce was delish. Fred the taxi driver is great and as a mixed family of 6 we could be as active and busy or not as we chose. The best way to end a trip to Kenya and as a previous resident it was perfect -Asante Tanya xx

it was perfect for a relax vacation. And the reception was very friendly and helpful

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.

Absolute rustic beach-front paradise and such a lovely team of staff! Ocean views are stunning and tennis court is a lot of fun. Jacquie is amazingly responsive and so helpful. Thank you so much!

The house was cozy and very private in an idyllic location steps from the beach. The staff, Elizabeth and Duca are wonderful and made our stay so comfortable. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back.

Joyce was a good host. She communicated clearly and respondet to requests in good time. The apartment is nicely kept , clean, with an amazing View and in a serene environment. I would recomend a stay at Joyce’s.

Fantastic location for a peaceful getaway location. The beach has barely anyone and we had a great time enjoying the beach The garden, pool was spacious and huge. Children loved the space. We enjoyed the food prepared by the chef please note this is a separate cost/arrangement. Omari also organised our transfer from the airport and back. It was an approximate 2hrs drive from Mombasa international airport. I would highly recommend this location. The staff were very welcoming and so was the environment.

Amazing! Lovely place , perfect location . The apartment was more than expected. The bed was confortable. The appartement was cleaned everyday. The view is just wonderful . I will be back for sure. Thanks Margaret !

Great place, clean with great access to the beach . the pool was very clean and staff were quiet attentive. would definitely recommend

Great host and location!

This apartment has amazing views, great amenities, and clean and spacious rooms. I would definitely recommend.

My family had a fantastic experience. The property was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described. The host was very responsive. I highly recommend this place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay

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!

Lovely spot with everything as described. Check-in was smooth, the place was clean, and the host was responsive.

Perfect location. Steps from the water, many restaurants to choose from. Beautiful surroundings. Easy to find local transportation. Friendly staff. We highly recommend.

This place is wonderful and very clean. Very spacious and minutes from the beach. Also, has a nice warm pool. Restaurants near by and Mall. Great place!

Pam’s Place was the perfect choice for our needs during our trip to attend a wedding at the Diani Beach Resort. Traveling on a budget, my wife and I took a chance on this affordable gem, which offered exceptional value compared to the resort. Nestled in a stunning location, it’s ideal for those seeking an authentic experience immersed in the local community, unlike the more private, tourist-oriented resort. The highlight was our host, Pam, whose warmth and responsiveness went above and beyond. When we forgot our phone chargers, she generously lent us her own. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Pam’s Place for travelers looking for great value and a genuine connection with the local culture.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home — spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable thanks to the air conditioning and fans, making nights by the beach relaxing and restful. Irene (the housekeeper) and Abdallah (the chef) truly made our stay unforgettable. Their warmth and attention to detail made the house feel like home, and by the end of the trip, they genuinely felt like part of the family. The house has everything you need, including beach towels for both the semi-private pool and the beach, which is just a few steps away. Getting around was easy — we hopped on a tuk-tuk to explore the town and visit places like Stiltz, where we even got to feed bush babies! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return in a heartbeat.

Great big place, with tasteful furnishings and beautiful stained glass windows. Joseph is a great cook, and Rebecca friendly and helpful. It's a little closer to the house next door than we were expecting from the photos. The beach is stunning, and the shared pool on the beach side is great for kids. Recommended!

Almahali is one of those rare places where you feel so at home you don’t want to leave. The host Sean is a truly wonderful individual. Extremely accommodating and he is extremely responsive. Honestly I had a truly amazing time and I was so relaxed I’ll probably need a week to readjust myself back to reality. If my words aren’t convincing enough of how much I’d recommend the stay I can only say you need to try it yourself

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!

Nadia’s villa was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful house, garden and pool, safe, 5 minutes from beach. The resort staff and in particular Carol, who looks after the house - everyone looked after us really well. Carol made the week really easy, and went out of her way to help us find our feet, first time in Mombasa - she also made us some great meals. A perfect location, I would love to come back!

Matthias was an incredibly communicative and kind host. His place is beachfront, in a great location for Diani. I loved having a view of the garden and sand from the couches on the outside patio. We had a couple small issues, but Matthias was quick to communicate and handle those with us. Very grateful for the wonderful stay

We had a lovely stay at this apartment. The location is fantastic just a short walk to the beach, which made our trip even more relaxing. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was smooth, and check-in was hassle-free. We truly enjoyed the peaceful setting and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a beachside getaway in Diani.
