Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kwale County

We loved staying at Familia House! Everyone was very welcoming and nice! The place was also incredible for our family of four! This was our first time in Diani and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay! Beach is less than 10 min walk away. They also have amazing dogs Mikki and Lala!😭❤️❤️ The chef was also amazing!! 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back again in future!

Great place to stay. Secluded, private and wonderfully located. Kitchen staff superlative. Pool great for all the family. Very roomy.

Vi hadde fantastiske dager på Villa Shaanti, huset er like vakkert som på bildene. Ibrahim, Faradi og Seth som jobber i villaen gjorde alt for at vi skulle ha det bra under vårt opphold. Vi kunne ikke bedt om bedre service. Det har vært en glede å besøke Villa Shaanti og vi kommer gjerne igjen.

Sandarusi is a beautiful house, set on our favourite stretch of beach - we'll be back! Thanks to Anthony and Rodgers for looking after us so well

The house and staff are amazing! We were a bit unlucky with heavy rains and got stuck with the safari van in the park but this turned out to be our kids favorite safari experience. The food prepared for us was delicious and we would love to come back :)

We had a lovely stay at Pumzika-Tu. The house is completely stunning and the views are to die for. Staff was accommodating and informative. Rooms were comfortable and well presented. The swimming pool was clean and had lovely views over the park. The children had a fantastic time exploring the grounds on the house. Decor was lovely and felt like you had been transported to a different era in a very good way. Thank you for the team for making us stay so memorable and enjoyable.

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!

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!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elodie's place! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was easy, and the space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still quiet and peaceful. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Diani. Would definitely come back!

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

Good location (10min walk to the beach) and very peaceful. Kiko (the host) is very friendly and responds quickly to all queries. We had a plate of pasta and fruits waiting for us, which made our first night there super easy. Eric (chef) and the rest of the staff were also very attentive and provided a great service. And if you prefer to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. I'd recommend!

Die Unterkunft lag weit über unseren Erwartungen. Für den günstigen Preis kann man keinen Meerblick erwarten. Es gab aber einen hilfreichen Willkommensgruß am Kühlschrank hier waren neben Lucy´s auch Kontakte zu Taxi und Tuxtukfahrern, die einen für kleines Geld z.B. nach Shanzu beach ans Meer oder zum Einkauscentrum nach Mtwapa bringen (Tuktuk ca. 300 oder Taxi ca. 500 KES). Für kleine Einkäufe zufuß gibt´s Kioske in Reichweite. Der sehr gepflegte Aussenbereich bittet einen gemütlichen Poolbereich und ist genug zum Relaxen vor Ort. Zu bemängeln: die etwas in die Jahre gekommenen, aber vollkommen benutzbaren, Liegen am Pool und das Fehlen einer großen Pfanne in der man auch für die, möglichen sechs Personen, die Frühstückseier auf einmal braten kann :-) Fazit ein schöner und erholsamer Ort um mit seiner Familie Urlaub zu geniesen. Danke an Lucy und Ihr Team

I had a wonderful stay at Dominique and Peter’s Secret Garden. They are a lovely couple—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help me get oriented in the area. The staff who care for the garden and animals were equally kind and attentive. Their pool and lovely garden is a breath of fresh air in the middle of the big city! The apartment itself is very cozy, well-equipped, and quickly felt like home. I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Nyali and looking for a peaceful escape from the city.

We really enjoyed our 6 days at James house in Msambweni. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The only detail that should be clarified is that you need to provide your own drinking water. We had been made to understand that drinking water was available on site, however after arriving with our bottles nearly empty we were then told water needs to be brought. So we spent the first night thirsty until we were able to arrange a delivery of water the next day around 9AM. Otherwise everything was totally good, and we definitely recommend the place.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Mutindi house. It was clean, the staff was great and Sandra did a great job communicating throughout our stay. Would definitely go back again!

Ein tolles Haus mit großartigen Gastgebern! Zwei Zimmer, Küche, Bad- mehr noch, als man als Paar braucht. Aber man hat dann auch zwei Schränke und die Bekleidung kann vollständig verstaut werden- großartig ! Das Bett ist sehr groß und bequem, Dusche mit Handbrause, zwei Waschbecken und einiges an Platz- ideale Ferienbedingungen. Nachteil an der Lage: es ist etwas weiter von Ukunda entfernt. Vorteil an der Lage: es ist etwas weiter von Ukunda entfernt ;-) Wir haben den Abstand sehr genossen. (Absolute Empfehlung ist das fussläufig erreichbare Restaurant „Sundowner“ ! Hier gibt es richtig gutes Essen und ordentliche Portionen, tolle Drinks und einen Frankfurter Manager.) Die Atmosphäre ist sehr familiär- Dank an Hans, der immer für uns da war….wir werden definitiv nächstes Jahr wiederkommen!!

Lovely place to stay with my family for 5 nights over New Year. Short walk to Beach, great chef Jacob and housekeeper Janet always there to help. Comfortable and clean. Lots of space. Great pool. House and eating area nicely shaded from the heat.

Shalom Cottages is an awesome place to be in. The owner is quite understanding and can accommodate any small changes in the timelines. The environment is clean. The swimming pool area is clean. It is a second home to people with a family. The staff, Gibran, is always ready to help. Amazing experience. Would highly recommend.

The house is beautifully presented with 4 enormous double bedrooms, two with equally enormous balconies. The pictures do not do the property justice. Mzuri House is part of a well run little complex. Security is ever present and you feel perfectly at ease at all times. The house feels very private and is 20M from the quieter Galu Beach, an extension of Diani beach. Sails and Salty Squid restaurants are excellent and only 100M. However the main attractions at Mzuri House are Liz the housekeeper and Shee the chef. Both were amazing hosts. Liz will communicate with before you arrive. She will arrange everything for you from airport pick-ups to restaurant bookings as well as keep the house spotless. Shee the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and lunch and / or dinner. All meals were extraordinary local dishes that our usually difficult to please 3 kids devoured! We can not recommend Mzuri House enough and in particular Liz and Shee.
