Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Kwale County

Anisa is a responsible and friendly host, and the cottage is a lot bigger than the pictures show. there's also a lot of thought put into the space, that is lacking in other Airbnbs in the area. All the added small touches make the space feel like your own home, and the unit is quietly tucked away from the main road. The only thing that may not be obvious from the listing, is that the cottage is located along the main road, and is not a beach front property as the pin on AirBnB suggests. Regardless, wished I could have stayed here longer

The pictures of the house don’t do it justice , the house is a work of art, extremely comfortable and well designed. We enjoyed everything about this place and the staff are lovely and accommodating. We would stay here again and again.

We loved our stay at Villa By The Beach!It is a nice,quiet and safe place.Very ideal for family.

The Bohemia house is a stunning house with amazing staff. Chef Rama was an amazing cook and Brenda was super helpful with anything we needed. The house itself was stunning and just 5 mins from the beach. Everything was exactly as shown on Airbnb and we loved our stay here. We will definitely be back!

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.

Chris is a gentleman who has helped me with helpful information every time I've approached him. The house was handed over to me and kept clean every day by his assistant, Clara, a polite woman. His location in Nyali is excellent, near supermarkets, churches, downtown, etc. The compound is calm, we can hear the birds singing, and fresh air is circulating in every house room. Also important is a 24-hour security guard in the compound on 7/7. I will stay at Chris' house again next time I visit Mombasa.

Perfect place to stay on a budget! Location was very easy to find. Restaurants, beach and amenities are very close by. Cissie was a great host and very responsive, helpful with recommendations as well.Definitely got value for my money. Highly recommend.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Galu Salama. Anni’s property is beautiful - very peaceful and quiet, away from the touristy areas of Diani. We spent hours in the immaculately clean pool. We slept well in the rooms that were spotless and cool thanks to the air conditioning. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with cooking supplies. The housekeeper, Nancy, welcomed us with fresh fruits and made us feel right at home. The house manager, Renson, took care of all our needs - from coordinating tuktuks for transport to sourcing and serving us fresh coconuts! Our kids enjoyed asking Renson all about coconuts and the mini lesson they got about the types of coconuts and its use in local cuisine. Thank you Anni for hosting us - we hope to visit again in the future if we are in Diani again!

We had a joyful stay. Will come back definitely.

A great place with a surprisingly large balcony that we really enjoyed at night. The bed and pillows are so comfortable. And finally the location - it's easy to get around from there and it's not far from places you might want to go to. A place I would return to.

The apartment had everything we needed. Great location!

Not much to add to my previous reviews. My favourite place at Cowrie Shell. 100% recommend.

Terry is an Amaizing host.Always response to requests and was very flexible during my stay.Her Place was super clean, very peaceful and had all the listed amenities.I am definitely coming back.

Those pictures definitely did not do the place justice, I thought I would be getting a small studio and when I walked in a was shook, so spacious, well organised, great natural lighting, the AC and ceiling fan options were great... She also hooked me up with the most helpful cab driver, Alex. He's a gem. I totally enjoyed my short business trip, can't wait to show my family that space when we go to Diani next!!!

Perfect studio apartment, with very close to Mombasa beach, very stable network, I was able to work without issues. cleaning comes everyday, much appreciated.

I stayed here for 6 weeks in a row. The hospitality of Emmanuel and his team is unmatched. Outstanding personnel, the cleaning lady specifically. Emmanuel himself is very proactive and really caring about your well being. Always happy to help. Internet works well for digital nomads. Blackouts occur rarely and last no longer than a minute. I appreciate everything about this place and the host. Thank you Emmanuel

From the moment we stepped into Pamela’s beachside studio, we felt instantly at home. The space is bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed—spacious enough to relax in comfort, yet cozy enough to feel like your own retreat. The location is ideal: just a few minutes’ walk to Diani Beach and close to Carrefour for essentials and snack runs. One of my favorite parts was her impressive book collection—especially the Italian titles and curated cookbooks. It felt like staying with someone who loves good food, great stories, and the charm of travel. Her love for Italy adds soul to the space. Pamela is a warm, attentive host who clearly cares about her guests. Her thoughtful touches made our stay feel special. I also loved the sound system (a must after Wi-Fi—which was great!) and the added bonus of Netflix for winding down. If you’re visiting Diani and want comfort, charm, and a hint of Italian flair—this is the place. Thank you, Pamela! I hope to return soon.

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.

A private secured and peaceful location. Walking distance to the Carrefour supermarket and Java House Cafe. Restaurants are accessible via taxi.

Very nice and clean place Highly recommend.

Terry' s place was comfortable,Serene, well thought of,very neat fitted with proper furniture. The pictures on the app are exactly the same,well maintained, neat ..It's a place worth spending your holiday...you can easily access the mall, different places in Nyali...My family loved the place...it's a to go home anytime am in Mombasa.

The apartment is completely as described in the listing. The staff very friendly and helpful. The pool and the loungers are great (unfortunately there was no explanation as to which loungers belong to the apartment). The neighbors (almost all foreign permanent tenants) attach great importance to rules and peace. Therefore, not highly recommended for traveling with children. Otherwise great place and great host. Thank you

Marie truly understands hospitality. My stay was comfortable... the neighbourhood is tranquille... the place is well maintained & cleaned. There was refillable dispenser water. I liked the fact that there was a coffee maker too. Marie is also responsive and helpful. I'll definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at Wangari's, the house and neighbourhood more than exceeded our expectations. The area is peaceful and easily accessible from the road and other amenities. Would 100% recommend.
