Beachfront vacation rentals in Kenya

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

We had a joyful stay. Will come back definitely.

We had a great stay at the property and suitable for little children. Rachel the housekeeper welcomed us and came daily, the property had everything we needed for a long week end stay. The beach was a few meters from the house with an Askari (guard) on the gate and an Askari on the main gate so you felt safe. The pool is wonderful just what was needed to cool off in the heat. We chose to have a chef, John, who bought all the groceries and fish and prepared everything requested even during a power cut he produced our evening meal. Would definitely recommend this place.

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!

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!

Abdillah was patient and waited for me even though I arrived late by bus. He made me feel at home by taking me on an evening walk around Lamu and showing me great places to eat. He also recommended a reliable captain who took me to Takwa Island and Jaluo Village at a fair price. I truly enjoyed my short holiday in Lamu thanks to Abdillah. If I visit Lamu again, this is definitely a place I will consider staying at.

We enjoyed staying at Garys place a lot. We appreciated the most 1) access to a beautiful beach with very few people; 2) amazing and authentic style house with wonderful balcony; 3) hospitality of local employees who prepared delicous meals and took care of cleaning the house. We thought that for kids a pool will be needed, but during our stay they actually enjoyed a lot to the ocean - playing in the water and collecting sea shells. Not far from Garys place in a walking distance are few interesting sight seeing spots. Highly recommended!

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.

Gorgeous Place, Beautiful view of the Creek, Fort Jesus, and Old Town. The place was clean, checkin was smooth, And a lot of small touches that tell you Aly is an experienced host. Can't recommend high enough.

We were a family of 5; 2 adults and 3 kids aged 14 year old, 5 year old and a 2 year old. Charlottes place was amazing. We loved everything! The staff at the house make sure you are comfortable. They cleaned everyday and we had clean towels daily. The guard Suleiman, is great to book excursions if you need, a very friendly man. We hired a chef called Katana, whom Charlotte recommended. His food was fantastic, delicious and nutritious. Just let him know your preference like swahili dishes, or other dishes and he will make it. We had him make Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Polly the manager, is at the site and she can help you if you have questions, she is very responsive and friendly. I recommend this place for families with small kids and teenagers. The pool is another gem in this house. Thank you Charlotte, we miss your house already ❤️

We loved the Asali house. Beautiful, and very well designed. It was great to have the pool! The Chef, Daniel, was very talented and prepared wonderful meals for us. During our 5 night stay, we only had dinner at a restaurant the first night, since Daniel's dishes were so delicious. He prepared fresh caught seafood for us every day! The housekeeper, Margaret, was so sweet, kept a very clean house, gave us a nice "turn-down" service each evening laundry service whenever we needed it. Our sheets were always nice. The gardener, Kazungu, kept bougainvillea bouquets on the dining room table, in our bathroom, and in all the foot baths in the yard. So pretty. Monica gave us superb deep tissue massages! Sheke, our host, was always available to assist with our activities and walks into town. The paths through town are winding, so it takes some skill to find our way. We had such a wonderful experience in amazing Shela Lamu. Our sunset sail was dreamy. The people are so kind & friendly. Loved it!

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.

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.

It's a beautiful place. Gave us the peace and serenity to wind down. It's well stocked, very clean, beautiful decor and stunning views. A little bonus of clear skies for star gazing too! Worth every penny! Noor is also an excellent host, very responsive and accommodating.

This place was outstanding! Beautiful setting, beautiful house with guest houses for our large group. The staff at the house really made it so special for us. Shadrack cooked us amazing meals (we didn’t need to go out for meals!) and catered for dietary requirements. Hassan also made us feel so welcome and the place was kept very clean. We had a very relaxing time and would happily return.

Beautiful view and very spacious. Great places to visit and things to do nearby. Jet skiing a few miles away was really fun. Will definitely return there in the future.

We had great time. Very convenient to reach the tourist attractions and restaurants. The host was super and responded promptly.

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!

The space is exactly what you want for a beach getaway with friends - beautiful coastline and sea views off the back verandah. The staff are incredibly helpful yet unobtrusive, and being on Bofa Road means the rest of Kilifi is easily accessible. Highly recommended!

What a delightful place! Amazing location. Great support. Excellent food.

3rd time staying here and as always Ahman treated us well!

My family and I had such a great time! The place was beautiful and clean, exactly like the pictures! Elyson was a great chef and very helpful with everything we needed! I would absolutely come back and recommend this place to others!

Beautiful peaceful spot with lots of space inside and outside and easy access to quiet beach. The staff on site were very kind and helpful. The house has a relaxed, easy going charm that made it comfortable to be there with children. We enjoyed it!

We very much enjoyed Bulloch House. It worked well for two families with plenty of space. Dominique and the team looked after us well and produced good meals. The pool was beautifully clean and the main seating area very comfortable. We also enjoyed using the bar area. A great house for a family holiday.
