Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Kenya

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy and spotless family home. From the moment we arrived, Jue made us feel incredibly welcome, even going so far as to cook a meal for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Nairobi with plenty of great amenities within walking distance. The security guards were also very friendly and helpful, adding to the overall sense of comfort and ease. This truly felt like a home away from home, perfect for our little family. This is what Airbnb should be about! Highly recommended!

Voor de 2e keer in het Madison huis verbleven. We kiezen voor dit huis vanwege de ruimte en de ligging. Prima voor een weekend weg met de familie. Het is een schoon en ruim huis. Erg fijn dat er een makkelijke wasmachine is en voldoende ruimte om de was op te hangen. De caretaker is erg vriendelijk en staat altijd voor je klaar.

My wife and I needed a quick gate away for the long weekend and this was a great pick. The host was able to provide clear instructions to the location and alternatives which was super helpful. The house was so gorgeous, in a serene area and extremely clean. The support staff were also so kind. Our stay was short but such an amazing time and place to relax. We can’t wait to go back! 😀

Thank you sooo much Kanani for creating and sharing such a beautiful home away from home and for taking a moment of your busy schedule to share great inspiration with us. Asante. We enjoyed our stay beyond our expectations, it’s was hard leaving it all behind. Everything was so cosy, warm and a great way to start our holidays. Fantastic fireplace to charm our evenings. Thank you and kudos to Chef Anthony, great assistance from Kevin. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄

Simply this place is heaven on earth, Damien and his team were an excellent I’m support and communication We had stayed in the yellow house for one night, i wish we had more time to stay more but will definitely come back again Highly recommended and their attention to details is really impressive

My family and I had an amazing stay at Agnes and Jeremiah’s place! From booking to checkout, they were super friendly, responsive, and full of helpful tips that made our trip smooth. The house was spotless, beautifully presented, and full of charm,truly a home away from home. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook comfortably, and every detail was thoughtfully covered. The location was perfect,safe, peaceful, and close to Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, and shops. Our kids loved the toys, books, and games, which kept them happily entertained. Mark the caretaker was fantastic, always helpful and quick to respond and the housekeeper did an amazing job keeping everything spotless. This was easily one of our best Airbnb experiences. We didn’t want to leave and are already planning to return! Highly recommended to anyone looking for comfort, warmth, and a memorable stay.

The hole team is great. From Geoffrey to Moses and the washing ladies, all very friendly. If you have questions, the will give reaction in max 5 minutes. Top Team

We absolutely loved our stay. It was the perfect place for a family Christmas, with not just relatives, but visiting Turkeys, Chickens, Dogs and even a giant tortoise. The Compound itself is stunning with some wonderful big old tree’s. Ann was a wonderful welcoming and helpful Housekeeper.

I stayed here for 10 days in May 2025 for work. The flat was exactly as described. Very clean, well equipped, secure, and spacious. The hot water and internet worked well. It was cleaned every few days which was wonderful. I was able to do my laundry easily. The compound is very secure. It is a ground floor flat which looks out into the parking lot, so I don’t open the curtains very often. I was at work most of the time so this wasn’t an issue for me.

Yvonne's apartment is in a very safe part of the city. The complex is surrounded by beautiful views, and the apartment itself was well stocked, and cleaned for us.

Excellent location. Amenities were perfect. Joan is a great host - friendly and responsive.

The stay was great. We were welcomed. Enjoyed the scenic views. Would definitely come back!

From the moment I saw the lusting on the app, I knew I had to book it right away and I did not regret my decision even for a moment. From the kind host that Sally is to the lovely apartment, great amenities and proximity to all important places, this apartment is one of a kind. I have lived in several apartments but this one tops my list, a lot of thought was put into the furnishing of the apartment and nothing makes an apartment homely than the choice of furniture and utensils in the kitchen. I had a hard time leaving, honestly didn’t want to but I had to:) Will be booking again with Sally. Thank you for your kindness and putting so much thought into every detail.

Loved the stay at the place, quiet and peaceful. House is as it is on photos. Responsive host as well.

Thank you for a lovely space we will certainly be back ❤️

Sam's unit is a great staging location to enjoy all that Nairobi has to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The security staff were also very friendly and helpful. I recommend Sam's place as a great place for a couple visiting Nairobi.

Tina's place was an amazing setting for a family Christmas. It has easy access to Ol Pejeta, the KWS animal conservancy, hiking trails near Mt. Kenya, and Nanyuki town. Chef John and his assistant Mary are fantastic. The house manager Noel is incredibly helpful and supportive. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great place. Close to Ol Pejeta conservancy. Well kitted kitchen, clean bathrooms and house. The house has a fantastic view of the mountain.

We had the most fabulous week at Nina’s — it was an utter dream. The staff were incredible. The beach was idyllic. And everyone was so helpful and made our week perfect. Thank you to everyone for looking after us.

We had a wonderful time at the Villa. The photos do not do it justice. Wish we’d booked for longer. Will definitely be back. Tabitha and Joseph were brilliant. Thank you.

Really enjoyed our stay at Sebastian’s place. It is in a peaceful and scenic neighbourhood. The house feels lived in and has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful vacation. Grace was extremely helpful.

Leah’s accommodation was a dream! The spacious, beautifully kept house had four bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a cozy living room with a TV, and a lovely garden. The location was peaceful, private, and very safe—perfect for a relaxing stay. Leah was an excellent host, always in close touch, and her housekeeper, Mercy, was incredibly helpful. She was on-site whenever needed, and when we had trouble with Netflix, she and her son quickly sorted it out. The house was conveniently close to a supermarket and the main road, making it easy to catch an Uber into Thika town. For me and my boys, it was the perfect place to spend quality time together. I highly recommend Leah’s place and will definitely rent it again in the future!

This is a fantastic house in a quiet and very green neighbourhood in Nairobi. The housekeeper Rose did a great job taking care of us (cleaning, laundry, etc) and a recommended driver picked us up from the airport. One night we had a chef cook dinner for us at home; it was delicious. We were 7 and with 4 bedrooms we did not feel on top of each other.

Fantastic location for a peaceful getaway location. The beach has barely anyone and we had a great time enjoying the beach The garden, pool was spacious and huge. Children loved the space. We enjoyed the food prepared by the chef please note this is a separate cost/arrangement. Omari also organised our transfer from the airport and back. It was an approximate 2hrs drive from Mombasa international airport. I would highly recommend this location. The staff were very welcoming and so was the environment.
