Your Coastal Oasis!

Richard GeromeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I love this bnb! this was my 2nd stay and won't be the last. whenever am traveling to mombasa this is my go to spot. the bnb is beautiful the decor is kool unique and stylish . the seller is the view!! it's what really draws me there each time. loaded with amenities pretty much everything you can think of is there. very comfortable sofa seating and bed. I literally have no complaints the only thing that could make it better is if it was in a more happening area but it's easy to get around with ubers. the host is amazing she always gets back to me with any concerns and rectified them. she definitely takes wanting us to have a good experience serious. pro tip . there is a store nearby on called food plus where you can get cases of water, snacks and even food stuff for cooking. the big thing is there is also a pharmacy and atm in that same Plaza. good to know because there is not an atm at the premises where you'll stay. cash is king.

Sea Breeze Getaway

RhodaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I had an amazing stay at Ayan’s place for three days with my family. It was exactly as described, and Ayan went above and beyond to make our experience special. She provided great recommendations for local areas and activities to explore. She was very understanding and gracious. Ayan was always available to help, and she answered my calls immediately whenever I needed assistance. The space is also very comfortable and accessible for elderly guests with fast lifts and direct access to the beach. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in North coast Mombasa!

Desert Rose Apartment - Gecko Resort

AnitaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This was a prefect location for my family traveling with my elderly parents. Everyone was very helpful, the location is great and there is a wonderful mix of having the privacy of a two room self cater apartment but within a resort so that you have the best of both worlds including access to the swimming pools, restaurants and bars. Kitchen is basic but reasonably well appointed. A wonderful location and 5 minutes to the beach.

Basilica Beach House

RebekkaRating, 5 stars20 months ago
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!
A spacious living area features two wooden sofas with light-colored cushions, paired with a large coffee table. Natural light streams through large windows, accented by sheer white curtains. A vibrant striped rug covers the floor, adding a touch of color to the serene atmosphere.

Tropical retreat in kilifi county, kikambala

JoRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We recently stayed at this Airbnb and overall had a pleasant experience. The town house was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described in the listing. The location is far from the airport and train station as it is in Kikambala but next to beautiful white sandy beach. We, however did encounter a hassle with the check-in process. Despite this minor inconvenience, which was amicably resolved, the stay was enjoyable, and the host was responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place for its comfort and location next to the beach

Makuti House, Vipingo, Sea-front home with pool

KatharinaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We just loved this place and thought it it even more beautiful than on the images. The tasteful house offers a spectacular view directly onto the ocean. The architecture is beautiful and everything works well. The place is located in a very safe and luxurious estate with access to a private beach an larger pool. We had daily visits from cute monekys and other pretty birds. The staff is very reliable and friendly and the chef great (this is a fully serviced house wirh a cook, someone doing the clothes etc.). Our only problem was, that we did not want to leave !

Zahari House (Dhow house)

BenedettaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Joanna’s place was amazing. My daughter with 6 friends went there and Joanna was very supportive and welcoming. The house is large, breezy, in great conditions, with large en suite rooms. The girls had a cook who helped prepare breakfast and dinner for a very reasonable prize , the pool was cleaned daily and the place was excellent for groups of families or friends. I would highly recommend and we will definitely go back !

Shuma House

RebeccaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
WOW!! What a fabulous trip had by all!! 8 adults and 1 baby stayed for 10 nights at Shuma house. We had an incredible trip. Shuma is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful, you really feel at one with nature here!. Shuma house itself is stunning, plenty of space for everyone, all the rooms are quirky, spacious and full of personality. The staff were all very welcoming and accommodating, and all work incredibly hard to ensure we are well fed and looked after. Martin, Shumas chef cooked us the most delicious meals night after night! Lots of choice and flexibility with meal choices/timings/allergies etc. Robert was amazing and tended to our every need, especially our daughter Elkies needs! Thank you all so much for making our trip to Shuma House absolutely fabulous! It was an emotional goodbye, but it certainly wont be the last!! We will be back!! Thank you! 🤩

Escape to The Beach House - Your Private Paradise!

CraigRating, 5 stars11 months ago
This is our 5th visit to The Beach House. We keep coming back for a bunch of reasons. Rehema, Ali and the rest of the staff are the best. The location right on the water with perfect views is unbeatable. Communication with Rory is consistently great. The top porch is some of my favorite square footage on the planet. And … have I mentioned how terrific Rehema is?

Villa by the beach Mombasa

VickyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Villa by the Beach was all that we expected and more. The pictures matched our expectations. The space was very clean with neat bedding and towels. Having travelled with family, it was very family friendly. Absolutely loved the outdoor space for early mornings and in the afternoons. The staff were great too. Maikel was very responsive and supportive. Jason and the security guy were also very professional and helpful. We surely enjoyed our stay and would definately recommend Villa by the Beach.

Sunset Villa's Beach house Kilifi Creek

HarryRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Marguerite's place is a very quiet and relaxed spot, further back from the main road in Kilifi. The staff are extremely nice and attentive - thanks to Said, Mramba and the team. It can be a bit warmer at the house than places closer to coast as it doesn't get as much of the wind, but that didn't change our experience.
