Seaside Escape
We had an amazing time at Faith's place! The house is spotless, well-organized, and filled with natural light. The balcony offers breathtaking views, and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the beachfront pool. Faith's communication was outstanding—she was proactive and attentive from the moment we booked, throughout our stay, and even after checkout. She went above and beyond by providing helpful recommendations, including connecting us with a fantastic chef. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to staying here again in the future!

Cozy 2Bedroom Beachfront Apartment
We had an exceptional stay at Aaron's place. The location was perfect (just by the beach), in a peaceful neighborhood yet close to attractions. The place was spotless and well-equipped. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Aaron was an excellent host, always available on phone and helpful. His sister made an effort to pass by to ensure we were fully settled and took us around the compound to show us the swimming pool, gym, and access gate to the beach. He came in handy when we needed a chef. The balcony view was a highlight for us, directly facing the beach perfect for enjoying morning coffee and sunsets. The amenities, including the fast safaricom Wi-Fi and a smart TV, were great. Overall, it felt like a home away from home, and I would highly recommend it.

Amani Eco Retreat

I really enjoyed my stay at this Apartment. It looked exactly like the photos..clean, stylish and very comfortable. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully set up. The location was great and near the beach.The host was super nice, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to any questions. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place with a thoughtful host.

Luxury Creek Front Villa
Our stay was stress free and Jess’s team was very responsive. The property is beautiful as is the view. Would recommend this stay for larger groups since it’s a fairly large house. All in all, we had an amazing time

Ginger House Rafiki Tamu Resort
Daniele's place was a wonderful and memorable experience for us. The staff members are super friendly, thumbs up to the security guard ;Tete and Michael. The cleaners Jacky and Amina, they are very friendly and helpful. Daniele's place was very clean and free of clutter. Many places to have activities and are all so close to each other. We will definitely come.

Fig House
Our stay at fig house was on all accounts flawless. The property sits on the edge of a very peaceful creek, with varying sea / creek views from its many vantage points. The house itself is wonderfully spacious with beautiful finishings and an enormous and aesthetic swimming pool. It was a joy to wake up and swim in the pool or the creek everyday, and then to enjoy meals prepared by the highly skilled staff (every meal was top quality). The local hangout spot less than a 10 minute walk from the house provides a uniquely jungly and relaxed atmosphere with a small shop fully stocked with anything you could feasibly need. There is also a coffee bar which serves very tasty local beers and smoothies, and a small restaurant / event space with delicious food. Freddy is a top host, very accommodating and responsive, and the house itself is certainly a stand out rental on the Kenyan coast, and sure to be a family for us moving forward. Thank you!

Family beach house, birder's paradise.
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!

Zahari House (Dhow house)
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

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Spectacular location by the sea (not even all well-known resorts in the area can offer that), fully equipped, spacious penthouse. It can get particularly warm in the attic/rooftop, but thanks to the sea breeze and at night, if necessary, AC/FAN, everything is pleasant. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much!

Ka 'Makuti Villa
Such a lovely home, well kept and clean. Very welcoming and so private. Will definable come back.

Seaview Nyali, 3BR for 6pax
The apartment is close to Nyali City Mall, if you cannot find a TukTuk you can actually walk, just 5 minutes. But usually TukTuks are available. This is an extremely clean apartment, evrything is in very good order. One of the main advantages is the calm location, hardly any noise at night. I have stayed in other apartments with a lot of noise (traffic and other) at night. Communication was superb. Minor issues (and they were really minor) were solved immediately. The view from the 3 balconies is amazing, you can see the ocean. Beaches are within minutes by TukTuk. Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts are available. I will definitely consider booking again when I come back, even though the price is a bit on the high side.

Malindi Beachfront Escape, 10 min from Airport

Your Coastal Oasis!
Aly was a wonderful host for a trip with my friends. The listing looked just like the photos and the view was even better in person. One of our group unfortunately fell ill and Aly was quick to give us a recommendation for a nearby hospital. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for anyone looking for a nice spot in Mombasa.

Malindi Mariposa apartment
Absolutely fabulous place. I would highly recommend it. Rachel had clear instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and has everything you need. There is so much to do in the area, Malindi is a lovely place to visit. Musa was very helpful and showed us around making sure we got everything we needed. Thank you for having us.
