Vacation rentals in Mangrove

Ruby and Eddie were incredibly helpful with everything we needed during our stay. The apartment was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view of the ocean. The pool was large and lovely, also overlooking the sea, with charming hemp parasols that created such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Honestly, the pictures don’t do justice to how wonderful the area truly is—it’s even better in person! The apartment was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, and then some. We also had a delightful woman who came to clean every second or third day. She changed the sheets and washed the towels, making sure everything was always fresh and spotless. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place. It exceeded all our expectations!

We spent 3 weeks at this place for my sister’s wedding and the personalised welcome from Madame York and the team warmed our hearts. Truly a very beautiful place that’s had a lot of love put into it. Can’t speak highly enough of Madame York and her team. Modou was always reachable and an excellent communicator whatever issues we had we dealt with. The place is very clean I honestly looked out for roaches and could not find any! The décore is impressive and the kitchen is well stocked. Beds are massive and super comfortable. Place is right on the country’s main highway so there is a bit of noise pollution but the easy access and location made up for that easily for our stay. We felt very safe and the place is definitely secure enough for children and my nephews made sure they got in enough pool time. It’s a place we’ll definitely choose to stay at again.

There are plenty of tourist apartments on the Airbnb that are similar if not nicer than the beach hotels. But when I travel, I like to live in neighborhoods, among the citizens who live in that country. That’s why I stay in Alieu’s home. It’s literally his home, with his room locked off, but three more bedrooms are available for guests. It’s not on a busy paved street and there will be an occasional goat walking by and definitely a dog sleeping on the street in the dust. But it’s a lovely home, with solar power back up, AC in every room, a gas stove and a good refrigerator and a spacious living room and everything I need including Wi-Fi. Things go wrong as usual in life, and Alieu has always responded immediately. And his guard Wally is always on premises to take care of smaller issues. All in all it feels like we’re living in a Gambian home in a Gambian neighborhood. And walking to the corner shop to buy some water or some eggs were the only tourists around.

We had a wonderful stay at Eric's property. It was spacious and comfortable with all the facilities we required. It was a lovely neighbourhood and not far from Senegambia strip and Kasama beach. We would highly recommend.

Friendly hosts in a nice resort in a good location. 10 mins walk to all the restaurants etc

Great location near Bijilo & Senegambia. I travel regularly to Gambia for my work and I think I found my perfect spot! Really best place I have ever stayed in the Gambia. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

I loved everything about this house i wish i could stay forever. But i love africa maybe one day i will.. Great ladie friendly and kind 😇 Always ready to help with anything your unsure off... Thanks you we will see you again x

This place is really a very nice place to stay while you visit Gambia, you really get the privacy they promise, a local Gambia family lives at the condo whom are responsible for the security and gardening. Another Gambia guy will pick you at the airport, and he will arrange anything you need, and is also a perfect guide when you want to do a trip. The condo is in Bijilo area, not far from the beach, but a 10 minutes walk is slightly underestimated in my opinion, but the beach itself is very nice, if you want to go the beach once. The Senegambia strip is only a few minutes by taxi. The garden is in good condition, with a swimming pool which is very big and cool and maintained everyday and you don't need to share it with other people. Sunbeds and umbrella's are available, although due to the moving sun we needed to move the sunbeds very often to get into shade, which is no-one to blame I think. The appartement were clean and decently equipped with a bathroom, with toilet, hot water shower and a sink.The bedrooms have enough storage a good bed and air conditioning. The Kitchen is very well equipped, it has everything you need, we even tried the bbq. We didn't meet the host Annie in person since she does not live in the Gambia, but I liked all contact I have had with Annie she provided us with a lot of information in advance, and I felt that she really wanted us to have a pleasant stay and instructed the local team to make that happen, I know she checked with them everyday if we we doing well. I really do recommend this place, I have had a much better experience than staying in a hotel/resort.

As a Gambian it was my first time going to the Smiling Coast. Unsure of my experience had I known my 'Soon to be' family was here, I would have booked sooner everyone was so hospitable and friendly it really has become my home from home.... the neighbourhood is safe and secure and if you need an extra friend Kunene the cat might be around. By Gods grace I look forward to seeing everybody again in the near future.
