Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Kwale County

We stayed a week at Eurika main villa and was very happy with the whole experience. As a family of six people it was a great option with plenty of social area at the front porch and access to a well maintained and clean pool. The house is in a quiet and very lush area. The host Marianne is super helpful. Access to the beach is easy, less than 10 minutes away by foot and there are several good restaurants close by. The optional chef/cooking service is highly recommended. We would love to come back some day.

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

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.

A hidden gem in Diani Beach! 🌴☀️ If you’re looking for a very private and relaxing escape, this place is perfect. The host Peter was outstanding – always available and super helpful with anything we needed, from organizing transport to local tips. A true highlight was the private chef, Hasimi, who prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners. The villa is spacious and serene, ideal for anyone seeking peace and exclusivity. Just one note: mosquito prevention (spray or repellent) is recommended, especially in the evenings. Would definitely come back! 🏝️✨

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!

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.

What a gorgeous place. If you’re an animal lover, this is the best place to be in the Diani area. Monkeys everywhere on the veranda, in the garden, by the pool! Gorgeous birds. Starfish island nearby. Adequate snorkeling. I was initially worried because the Honeymoon Tent seemed like a better choice online, but to us, Ocean View villa has the most to offer of the properties on the compound! Lovely as a couple or for a group you know intimately (the rooms are quite porous if sharing the home). Mike was incredibly helpful and flexible, with an incredible life story. Martin our chef was warm and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely come back again. PS would recommend ordering the shopping ahead of time, can be a bit hectic to do it on the night of your arrival.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Galu Salama. Anni’s property is beautiful - very peaceful and quiet, away from the touristy areas of Diani. We spent hours in the immaculately clean pool. We slept well in the rooms that were spotless and cool thanks to the air conditioning. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with cooking supplies. The housekeeper, Nancy, welcomed us with fresh fruits and made us feel right at home. The house manager, Renson, took care of all our needs - from coordinating tuktuks for transport to sourcing and serving us fresh coconuts! Our kids enjoyed asking Renson all about coconuts and the mini lesson they got about the types of coconuts and its use in local cuisine. Thank you Anni for hosting us - we hope to visit again in the future if we are in Diani again!

Nice , Calm,peaceful the most serene place everyone should visit A home away from home

it was a beautiful holiday in a lovely and well furnished apartment. with a view of the ocean by day and the sound of waves by night. we really enjoyed joeys house and it was very convenient to have a restaurant next door. everyone was very friendly and we had a great and relaxing time. thanks!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Perfect Stay! Our experience was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beautiful, clean, and cozy space. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, leaving little touches that made us feel right at home. The location was ideal, close to great restaurants and attractions but still peaceful. The bed was super comfortable, and the amenities (especially the fully stocked kitchen and fast Wi-Fi) made our stay effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will 100% be back in the future. **Highly recommend** to anyone looking for a 5-star experience!

Would stay again in a heartbeat! Great location and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars. I felt right at home here. A beautiful, comfortable apartment with all the kitchen tools needed. Rachel and Fatima were wonderful and responsive. An excellent choice for your stay in Diani Beach!

I had a wonderful stay at Sarah’s place! The home was spotless and just as described. Sarah was incredibly attentive and responsive—she always replied quickly and was very helpful throughout my stay. Her hospitality really made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed Airbnb.

Ayan was a wonderful host! She welcomed us personally and showed us the beautifully furnished apartment. It was very clean and well maintained. Through her profile, we discovered fun activities and found great inspiration for our stay. She was very helpful, which made our stay much easier. I could reach her at any time, and she always responded quickly to my messages. The apartment is very bright, which we personally really liked. It’s furnished in a minimalist Swahili style, which added a unique and charming touch. If it’s available next year, we’ll definitely book again!

Fiona is a great host and quick to respond. The apartment is in a safe and secure environment. Her home is beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We shall certainly be back.

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

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.

Sean place was great 😊 and my family really enjoy the place , thank you Sean for having hosted my wife and children’s… All the best

Marie's place was superb! We had an early arrival to Mombasa which Marie gladly accomodated. She was responsive and a phone call away incase we needed anything. Thank you Marie! We will visit again

We loved staying at Wangari's, the house and neighbourhood more than exceeded our expectations. The area is peaceful and easily accessible from the road and other amenities. Would 100% recommend.

Place was exactly how we saw in photos. Stay was very comfortable, Brian was very helpful throughout. Clean and modern, beach view was fantastic. Would love to be back again

Another amazing stay at Aqua Apartments in Mombasa! I stayed from June 3 to June 6, and as always, everything was perfect. The location is great, close to everything I need, with a beautiful ocean view that never gets old. I’ve been here multiple times — this has become my go-to spot whenever I’m in Mombasa. Willis is an excellent host — always responsive, professional, and makes sure everything is in order for a smooth and comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

The stay was amazing! Very clean, tidy and walking distance to the beach. The host was very helpful and helped us out through our late night check-in. I highly recommend this stay and will definitely visit again when in Mombasa.

It was an exceptional experience. Nice house, nice location, great views and a well taken care of home with an exceptional housekeeper.
