House vacation rentals in Kilifi

Our stay at Azzurra's place was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The apartment itself was charming, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making us feel right at home, and the location is so close to the Watamu Mall where you can find an ATM, supermarket, nice coffee shop, and means of transportation to go around. The pool area was like a private oasis beautifully landscaped, impeccably maintained, and just the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. Whether we were lounging poolside with a good book or taking a leisurely swim under the sun, every moment spent here felt like pure bliss Furthermore, Azzurra went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a cozy, centrally located retreat with thoughtful touches and a gracious host, look no further this is the place for you! We can't wait to return. Thank you Azzura

It was definitely a great deal! The host and their assistant was perfect! We had a great stay. The grounds were awesome. They even let us check in early and check out late for just a small fee. It was very helpful being that we had to check out of an Airbnb quite close to there and there would’ve been a large gap where we would’ve had to sit someplace with our luggage. And then we have a flight late in the evening on the day we checked out once again we would’ve had to deal with our luggage all day long somewhere. We cooked in the kitchen, ordered food delivered, tuk tuk drivers were easy to get to come out there. And we were very close to town! The grounds were impeccably kept with great security. I definitely stay here again.

We had a great time at the house, Efrat was very helpful with recommendations of places to visit and things to do while at Watamu. I enjoyed my stay

Beautiful resort. Friendly staff

My friends and I stayed at the Lakeside House for 4 nights and we had the best experience ever. The place is extremely beautiful and modern, the pictures don’t even do the place justice. During our stay the place was so clean, the staff were so welcoming, the swimming pool was such a great amenity, the dogs were also so cool. Chef Nassir, Erastus the security guy, and the other staff (I can’t remember their names) were absolutely amazing and they were so good to us. This is a place I would highly recommend and I would go back as well. 😊

This was my second time staying at this villa, and it was just as amazing as the first—if not better! I came with a group of friends for my bachelorette trip (first time for most of them), and the experience was unforgettable. The staff truly made our stay special. William, the chef, was incredible—he made sure we were always well-fed, worked around our timings, and even helped with our daily shopping needs. Mercy and Tatu kept the villa spotless and were so sweet, even making us some chips one afternoon when we had a craving! Vincent ensured the pool was always clean and helped out with anything we needed. Our hosts, Philippe and Soltana, were so accommodating and warm. Even though the villa is for 8 and we were 9, they helped us with extra arrangements and were genuinely excited for our girls trip. They checked in often and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this villa if you’re looking for a relaxing, well-catered, and welcoming stay. I’ll definitely be back!

First time in Kenya, I chose to stay by Kenzo ,the Location it’s very beautiful ,situate 10 minute walk from Nyali Beach and close to two shopping centres , very satisfied , very clean , exactly what I searched, amazing pool , privacy, you get extra very good host who helps with everything, from good money exchange ,good advices,airport transfer….. he cares about his guests.Felt very good ,highly recommend 👍

In the heat of Watamu, the garden is a jewel and the pool in the middle is a must! We really enjoyed our stay at Jeremy and Laura's cottage with our 2 little ones (6 months and 2 years). The house itself is vintage with optional air conditioned at night. It can be really hot during the day so the pool is just a perfect option to refresh yourselves (it's shaded until 11am and from 4pm). Daniel, the house manager, was always willing to help and discreet, though he is working around the house on the plot all day from 8 to 5pm. He was even in capacity to help us find a young lady to supervise our babies so that we could enjoy our evenings out. Apart from the pool and the sublime garden, one other great added values of the cottage is definitely its location (very central) as there are many very good restaurant options at tuktuk distance - Jeremy shall share lots of tips prior to your arrival! I think we tried all of them ;)

Highly recommended—perfect for a family getaway, business trip, or a peaceful retreat! Our stay was absolutely wonderful. My family and I truly loved the place—it genuinely felt like a home away from home. The space was neatly organized, spotless, and set in a calm, clean environment. The rooms were well-ventilated and equipped with air conditioning, making our stay very comfortable. The ambiance was serene and welcoming. Customer service was outstanding—Babra was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. Thank you so much!

Alice is an amazing and caring host. She guided us on amenities to visit and even gave us a free ride to the Serena public beach, which was great, and even recommended other places of interest. Please book your stay with her when you visit Mombasa. I also loved the fact there were functional and reliable air conditioners in both bedrooms.

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!

We had a wonderful experience at Geoffrey's Airbnb. The location is perfect-centrally situated, making it incredibly easy to access all the places we planned to visit in Watamu. Check-in was a breeze, and Geoffrey was an excellent host, always avallable to help and quick to respond to any questions we had. The added perks of the on-site restaurant and pool made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxed and convenient trip!

Me and my family had a great stay, Caroline property is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be back again, we felt right at home.

A very beautiful place and a great host to match . The caretaker was phenomenal and very very helpful. Definitely going back there some time.

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!

Stayed with family including 5 kids under 11 years. We had a wonderful time! The pictures truly don't do the house justice. The kids (and adults too!) spent most of the time in the pool. The beach is a 5 mins walk away where we got excursions to Malindi marine park. But what made this stay so enjoyable for us was the staff (Phillip, Janet, Eric and James) who really made us feel welcome and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Highly recommend staying here!

Sajid’s place is a very quiet chilled spot - it’s 2 or 3 cottages around a pool in a beautiful green garden, about 5 mins walk to the beach. Sajid was super helpful as was the caretaker John who was always on hand to help get a tuk tuk etc. Safari’s cooking was also really really good but you need to discuss with Sajid the arrangements and whether he will cook 1-3 meals per day etc. Overall, a great spot to enjoy Kilifi from.

Our stay at Villa Mkauju was absolutely fantastic! The villa is stunning, offering tranquility and comfort. A big thank you to the wonderful staff who were incredibly attentive and made us feel at home. Special thanks to the owner for maintaining such a beautiful property. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in Malindi. Can't wait to return!

Farida's place is amazing! This will be my new go-to place in Malindi. It's very beautiful, the grounds have the most beautiful flowers and the pool is lovely. Everything was perfect about this place including the fact that it's a 2 minute walk to the beach. The most amazing part of the trip was the absolute fabulous chef Patrick and the housekeeper Kanze. They spoilt us and we loved it! We look forward to coming back.

We had a good stay at Prudence's house. It's a modern, new, beautiful house. The pool is also suitable for night swimmers. It's very quiet. By tuk tuk you are quickly in the center of Malindi.

We had a lovely stay at Kivulini house! It is very spacious house with bright airy feel and we were all very comfortable. The swimming pool was very clean and looked after daily. It overlooks the beach with awesome views. Access to the beach is a 2 min walk. The beach is really nice for the kids to play in low tide and we all also enjoyed riding the waves in the high tide! John and the staff are very friendly and looked after us very well throughout our stay! All the rooms have air conditioning. All in all, I would recommend Kivulini house to families looking to spend quality time together and make memorable memories! Thank you to Jasmine, John and team and we hope to return soon!

We had a wonderful holiday at Dhow House. A great location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Kids loved the pool and using the top deck for meals was also special! Thanks

Kagendo's place is a beautiful house in a serene environment. My family and I enjoyed our stay and had a relaxing holiday. Cleanliness was maintained throughout our stay and she recommended a private chef who cooked for us delicious meals. The staff were attentive to us and made us feel at home away from home. We will be back.
