Nitro Luxury Homes Nyali
Really lovely place - spacious and has expansive views of the Nyali skyline. Location wise it was very convenient - walking distance to Nyali beach and Promenade Mall.

Penthouse near the Beach, 0742 for 616 then 120
A great place with a surprisingly large balcony that we really enjoyed at night. The bed and pillows are so comfortable. And finally the location - it's easy to get around from there and it's not far from places you might want to go to. A place I would return to.

Mombasa Luxurious Seaview 2BR
The place is great 😃.the location is easy to find on Google maps. The apartment is exactly as in the photos. Fred(the caretaker I think) helped us with check in and gave a brief house tour. It's right next to the reefy beach. It's near all the necessary amenities.(Restaurant, chemist, liquor store, supermarket etc) The place felt secure with the guard at the entrance and at the pool area. We really enjoyed our short stay. It's worth every coin. I highly recommend.

Cozy, spacious, serene Shanzu 2br
We had a wonderful time at Priscilla’s place. The apartment was sparkling clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Communication with was quick and easy. The location was a walking distance from the beach which was quite convenient. Highly recommend!

Solvin Sea View Apartment Shanzu
I stayed at Lydia's place for 5 days with my family.Lydia's place exceeded my expectations! the welcome was good, she responds very fast to her clients. the place is neatly kept! ever clean. and ofcoz a cake surprise on our last day was lovely! I recommend her to anyone travelling to Mombasa.

Zuri Luxe 1BR apartment- Silversands Beach Malindi
Trizah’s BnB was a gem, conveniently located close to basic amenities and just a 2-minute walk to the beach. The BnB was clean, cozy, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond by providing thoughtful touches, like essential kitchen supplies, including oil, which saved us from purchasing large quantities we wouldn't use. The extra care and attention to detail made our stay even more enjoyable. Plus, Trizah was always quick to respond to any questions we had, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Definitely a place we'd love to return to!

Kaja Stays | Oyster 2BR Beachside with Pool & Gym
The best apartment I stayed in Nyali over the 6 years I have been traveling to Mombasa. Terry communication was great, always helpful and easy to talk to. I highly recommend this place. 🙌🏽

3 Bedroom Watamu Home with Private Beach Access
We had a fantastic stay at Mwanana House! Of all the places we've stayed in Kenya (there are many), the team at the house were the best. We were so well looked after - Antonina catered after our every whim without being asked and preempting our every need, Karisa cooked us the best meals every day, and Katana kept the pool and garden beautifully clean. This team thought of everything with incredible attention to detail and with great patience around small kids. Thank you so much

Villa by the beach Mombasa
We loved our stay at Villa By The Beach!It is a nice,quiet and safe place.Very ideal for family.

Magical 4-bed staffed Watamu house with epic views
This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

Neem Tree - waterfront villa on Marine Conservancy
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.

White Cliff Villa/luxury beach life
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!

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Enjoyed the stay. Beautiful views of the ocean. My family and I left very relaxed.

Donnelly House, 3 bedrooms, private beach access
This is a lovely house on the beach just next to Treehouse Watamu. The location is excellent, the staff very friendly, and the house has lots of spots to relax and hangout. It also has a nice pool, good mosquito nets and lots of fans. The ocean is a 3 minute walk and this particular stretch of beach is peaceful, empty and hassle free. The house has two good sized double rooms with a bunkbed (double down, single up) in a small corridor. It fit our family of five perfectly. Will definitely be back.

Home Yulia
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!

Manasha Apartment Watamu
We stayed at Aisha's place with my family. The appartement was clean, cosy, comfortable, with air-conditioning in both rooms and a lovely shared swimming pool in the compound. Our hosts were friendly and attentive and gave us a lot of suggestions about what to do in the surrounding area. We will be definitely coming back, it was great value for money!

Your Coastal Oasis!
Aly was a wonderful host for a trip with my friends. The listing looked just like the photos and the view was even better in person. One of our group unfortunately fell ill and Aly was quick to give us a recommendation for a nearby hospital. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for anyone looking for a nice spot in Mombasa.

Lion House beach house
Great place, beautiful pool. Worth noting that the use of the kitchen is not guaranteed.

Beautiful apt. by the beach with swimming pool
We had a great stay at Lucy’s place. Check-in was smooth and on time, and the place was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was amazing, and we were able to use it every day. The air conditioner kept us comfortable, and having a washing machine and iron was really helpful, especially with the clothes we brought. A cleaner came in regularly, which kept everything tidy. Getting to the main amenities and nearby cities was easy, and tuk-tuks were readily available to pick us up whenever needed. Overall, everything went smoothly, and I would highly recommend staying at Lucy’s place!

Cactus Apartment - Gecko Resort
We had a pleasant stay. Lots of amenities associated with the Gecko resort. Good restaurants not far away. Tribe Water Sports on the beach. Great Kite Boarding. Two big pools. Nightly entertainment. Daily cleaning.

Angani Apt | Lux 3 BR | AC | Ocean View & Rft Pool

THE NEST, Oceanfront Apartment in Nyali
This was my second stay. Fantastic host and house keeper. They agreed to source and deliver bouquets of roses to my girlfriends suprise when we check in. This was organised whilst I was in the UK so the surprise was seamless. I'm grateful as you made our stay even more memorable. We'll be back next year.
