Waterfront vacation rentals in Ilala

We were so relieved and grateful to find this place last minute after a frustrating experience with another booking. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, and check-in was smooth and easy. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described—if not better. It truly felt like a safe and relaxing home base during our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially under the circumstances. Highly recommend!

We have stayed in a number of places in Dar es Salaam, but this one has been the best so far: great location directly on the beach, lots of excellent restaurants in the vicinity, great supermarket a short Poa-ride away, a safe, quiet house in a compound and Junaid is extremely responsive and helpful with any queries that may come up. Definitely a place to come back to in the future.

Beautiful place, I enjoyed staying here during my vacation with family. My boys enjoyed the ocean breeze from their bedroom window, the swimming pool and the quick access to the beach. Lars was always a text away to jump in when we needed instructions. Thank you! We will recommend to friends.

Fantastic time at Zenie house. Everything was just amazing. We really enjoyed staying with her and will definitely recommend. Can't wait to come back again .

The studio apartment was lovely and exactly as described. Lovely space situated centrally within Dar, with a mall located nearby. Stacy was a great host as well, responds super quick and very accommodating. Will 100% be looking to rebook when back in town.

We really loved staying at Brills place! The area was really great. The host was responsive to what we needed! Very modern living area

Nice place with a lot of space and everything you need. Communication and check-in were excellent.

Great place for Family, work colleagues or friends looking for a relaxing place to spend a weekend.

The Explorer Villa was perfect as our base for our cricket tour. The building is clean, spacious and full of character. The staff are friendly, helpful and responsive. The access to the local beach is quick and easy, and while set a bit out of Dar proper, it was great to have all of us in one place we felt comfortable with. I'd recommend it wholeheartedly to others.

We had an amazing stay once again! The house is in a perfect location, just a short walk to the beach, which makes it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The host is incredibly helpful and always goes above and beyond to ensure we have everything we need. This was not our first visit—we’ve been here several times already, and we always look forward to coming back. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for our vacations! We’d love to keep returning and would greatly appreciate a discount for loyal guests. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

The house is good, the neighborhood is amazing and neat, and the beach is awesome, the kids loved it, will definitely come back next time.

Beautiful place .. Great host.

I had a great time at Rachel’s place. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures

Wow! This is what this totally hidden gem of a place! We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home literally localated on the beach. Super friendly staff that will always try and accommodate your requests. Winny and Joseph and the masai security took great care of us. The private gardens are enormous with plenty of seating areas to enjoy the sea breeze. Our host Sabrina was such a kind and thoughtful host, she even took time out to come visit us. She recommended great places to order food from and even arranged a local massage therapist to come visit. We would 100% recommend this beautiful hidden home to anyone wanting the luxury of a beach front getaway.

Perfect home away from home in a super cute neighbourhood. 10/10 would do again :)
