Villa vacation rentals in Kenya

We liked our stay very much! Very big place for ourselves with kind staff. Efrat also knows many contacts to make the stay more comfortable (drivers, chefs etc.) The private chef was a new and very affordable experience which we enjoyed very much.

What a beautiful place to spend a week away with family. This beautiful home with its glorious garden and pristine views was the perfect place to chill, bond and spend time together. The cherry on top was Tim’s fantastic staff including chef Elijah, whose food we miss already! The whole team went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible including helping organise transfers, tours and a Christmas BBQ at home. I will 100% be back to this exact place.

This place is absolutely beautiful 😍 One of the very few places that can accomodate such a large number of people. The house is beautiful, the grounds are spacious and having the pool makes it a hit with the kids :) The team on the ground is ever so helpful and they make sure to always ensure you are comfortable. Mama Davis adds charm to the place as she is so warm,welcoming and helpful (she even came to us to the lake to help us buy fish for lunch and gave us kale and sukumawikii from her garden :) ) The surrounding area is also just out of a dream...Lake Naivasha on one side and Mt Longonot on the other... I spent hours on the balcony sitting just admiring the views. The pool is in an open area, so a few insects and bits of soil are inevitable. The team spends hours cleaning it, but nature always finds a way back. Think of it like swimming in a lake—just relax and enjoy the experience! (don't envision it like the clean pools in enclosed building za nairobi )

Chris and his team understand what it means to be phenomenal hosts. We felt well taken cared off from housekeeping to security as well as other accommodations that Chris provided as needed. Will definitely be booking again.

What an absolutely amazing place. We were nine people spending a few days at Fulvio’s place and we got so spoiled by his wonderful staff. I can highly recommend the place and would definitely consider it for next time we go to Watamu.

The chef Daniel , the caretaker Josphat and the rest of the team did a great job taking care of us . The food was perfect every day every meal . Thank you Daniel. Josphat showed around the beach and mombasa town . Great people.

It was my second time in Swordfish Villas and Mila’s villa was absolutely fantastic. Very well maintained and well equipped. Communication with Mila was very easy and always helpful. The staff at Swordfish Villas are wonderful. Jimmy did an excellent job at the house. If you want to spend some days in paradise, book Mila’s house.

fantastic place, the house is of an excellent standard, the staff and the owner are really helpful and kind. If you go to Watamu, I suggest this place.

The villa is large and beautifully built and decorated. Looks exactly like the pictures. Thomas was extremely accommodating of us - a larger than average group and we had the most wonderful time. Thank you for accommodating some of our more particular requirements. It made the space that much more enjoyable. The chef’s team Duncan, Brighton and Morgan were amazing - every meal was delicious. Grace and the housekeeping team kept the place meticulous. Overall one of my favourite holiday spaces so far!

Absolutely beautiful! Location is perfect. The house is stunning, with plenty of space for large groups, a lovely pool and breathtaking view. The staff were amazing and took great care of us. An unforgettable holiday!

Ibambe House is truly amazing! The home is beautifully designed, and the setting with beach access is stunning. The food prepared by the chef was extraordinary—every meal was a delight. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel so welcome throughout our stay. We sincerely hope to return one day.

Come for the views, stay for the food! What a beautiful spot with tons of space to spread out. The house and grounds were gorgeous, located on a pristine beach, yet relatively private. The staff were all super helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Pool was refreshing, yet surprisingly deep. Chef Nixon made us amazing seafood dishes all week. Only draw back was the lack of A/C in the bedrooms, which most comparably priced stays offer in the area. Check out the kite surfing, SUP, and kayaking rentals right next store. During low tide, head straight out half a mile to the sandbar and enjoy hunting for starfish!

Rispa is such a good host. Her staff are also such lovely people. Paul gave us directions to the place and took care of us while we were there. Emmanuel, the chef, and the cleaning lady were also lovely. The place is truly the white villa. It is so clean and spacious. It is private, and Paul also helped us organise logistics wherever we decided to move. 10/10 would recommend.

My family enjoyed our stay here. They loved the beautiful outdoors and pool. The rooms were well designed and maintained. The place is quiet and relaxing, we barely had to leave because we had everything we needed provided for within it. Short distances to the store and restaurants. The housekeeping services were excellent and the chef outdid themselves in preparing us tasty meals and drinks.

Without any doubt, a perfect place in Shela. Tristan's team at the house is exceptional, in that, discrete, polite and helpful with a smile. The house is a true example of local architecture, design, and materials with all modern amenities. John's food is as good as it can be! We recommend it without any reservation.

The Makuti house is a beautiful, spacious house where I felt right at home. It is located on a screened, guarded area with some houses and a very nice swimming pool right next to the house. In the neighborhood there are shops for food, clothes, but also beautiful African fabrics. A little further away but easily accessible interesting places to visit. A beach is 1 km away. So a very nice place to use as a base.

Kevin’s place was so great we decided to go back again for another few days, towards the end of our trip. Everything was impeccable, and Kevin was very attentive and flexible, allowing us to have a late check out which suite our travel needs perfectly. Rose cooked a few times for us this time and her food is fabulous, we highly recommend her services, plus she was very friendly, patient and very accommodating. Another great stay at Kevin’s place, it’s home away from home. Kevin a great bloke, friendly, chatty, helpful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again and hopefully one day we get to meet Kevin in person for a beer. Thank you, Julz and Mina ☺️.

We stayed at Christine's premises and from the moment we stepped into the home, we felt at peace and home away from home. Mr. Mutungi was very welcoming, gave us all the assistance we needed for the stay. Maurice the taxi person ensured our smooth movement right from the terminus and back. We had Chef Maureen who ensured we were served with sumptuous meals and a cake as we had a birthday to stay. The kids enjoyed the toys, trampoline and swimming pool which was their favourite spot. What stood out for us was the daily cleaning of the home which left the place always clean and fresh done by the humble lady Miriam. Plus Christine is flexible to allow late check out depending on circumstance. Would recommend this place for a family staycation and I'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful 5-day stay in Lamu. The service was outstanding, the meals were delicious with a chef who took great care of us, and the house was impeccable. Nina and Jamal were very responsive to our requests. The house is perfectly located right on the water, between the pool and the sea, with plenty of shaded areas thanks to several patios. We will definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our time at this property. Everything was clean and well maintained. Biggy was a great help and made sure we were right at home. The pool was marvelous! Overall the apartment was great and we really enjoyed our time here. Would recommend this to anyone!

Perfect place to stay with family and friends. I would definitely stay here again! The chef and the house managers were super helpful.

best place we have stayed , fantastic house at a good location walking distance to some restaurants and the beach ⛱️ I would recommend anyone to stay here . special thx to Patrick and george who are great hosts ! we will be back for sure

I enjoyed my stay at Ronald’s. Although location was kinda far from beach and Ubers had a difficult time finding us when we needed to be picked up the Airbnb met my expectations and held up to its value. Would book again.
