Waterfront vacation rentals in East Africa

We have just had a wonderful 17 days at Frederica’s apartment Absolutely loved it - fabulous position right on a gorgeous beach very spacious and comfortable Could walk or take a tuk tuk to local restaurants Altogether a great holiday

Once again best place, great stay and great host's.

We had a really comfortable stay! Property is very private and well maintained. The person in-charge took good care of us. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a fantastic stay at Chiara's property! From the moment we arrived, Chiara was extremely responsive and quick to assist with anything we needed, ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. The facilities went beyond our expectations, with everything we could possibly need for a relaxed and enjoyable holiday. The location is perfect – situated just 30 minutes from anywhere on the island of Mahe, offering easy access to explore the beautiful surroundings. Plus, the property has secure parking, which is always a bonus. The property itself feels like a luxury retreat. It’s super secure, providing peace of mind throughout our stay. The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing, and the grill was a fantastic addition – perfect for a relaxed evening enjoying the view. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxurious, secure, and convenient base to explore Mahe. Thank you, Chiara, for being such a great host!

I use airbnb a lot and this airbnb is one of my favourite in the world. The view, the apartment, the facilities, the location, everything is perfect. The appartment is so clean and spacious. I can’t wait to come back. Thanks for hosting us a second time!

Sidick's place is very large, tidy and pleasant. Sidick is very accommodating, very responsive and friendly. The city center is a 10 min walk, the neighborhood is peaceful. Would recommend!!!

Very helpful & responsive host. The place matched the description and photos. I would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay. Apartment is large and comfortable. Everything was clean. Beds were super comfortable and the perfect spot to have an amazing sunset. Pool area is lovely and can access beach for long beach walks. Complex is peaceful and even on weekend there was no loud parties etc Would highly recommend. Would like to suggest a BBQ on the patio.

We loved our stay at Toms house. The Island is a gem. Nothing but nature all around, the most beautiful birds.m The staff was so helpful and friendly too. We had the best time and will for sure come back.

The view, the house, the pool, the staff, the amenities were absolutely stunning! The photos of the property did not do it justice, it was even more beautiful than on the pictures. The owner was very helpful and nothing was to much of an effort for Absalom. Shops, go-carts, restaurants nearby. We stayed for 2 weeks, we could have stayed 2 more. From young to old had a great time. Thank you Margarita.

We had a fantastic stay at John's villa - it is beautifully set up and right on the beach. It is a slice of paradise and the team there - Chef Benjamin, Felictus & Sarah - were wonderful. They couldnt have looked after us better! Would definitely go back

My wife, I and our three children had a great holiday here. The house is located in a picturesque village surrounded by coconut palms. One of the most beautiful beaches in Kenya is about a 10-minute drive away. We had our own car, so it was not difficult for us to get there, but if you do not have transport, you can always use a tuk-tuk or a motorbike taxi. The beach is beautiful! Next to the house is an ocean bay with mangrove trees. We were very pleased that the house has two excellent SUP boards! At high tide you can ride them through the mangrove forest and it is very, very beautiful! But take shoes with you because there are sharp shells at the bottom. Nice people work in the house. Chef Joseph cooked well and was very kind. Thank him very much! We were lucky with the weather, it was not stuffy at all, so we never used the fans at night. Thanks to the owner of the house Tom and his team for good memories!

We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this property. Huge, beautiful outside space and welcoming inside. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. The bedrooms were beautiful and spacious and the beds slept comfortably. Our family especially enjoyed the large dining setup inside and out. The kids had a ball in the play area. We felt right at home and will surely be back in the summer.

It was our first stop in mauritius. We planned to travel around the island and stay 2-3 days at each spot. Rajesh was super helpful in organising a scooter and always had good tips. He and his wife even invited us to a dance at their neighbour's weeding (sadly we missed it). Anyhow, great place to stay with some kind hearted hosts. Wish you all best Luca & Stephanie

We had the best time at Khushiness. I really appreciated Priti’s clear instructions and meeting her on arrival. They also have the best housekeeper, always ready to assist. The house is spacious with the best views. Perfect for a bigger group. On arrival one fridge didn’t work and it was replaced within an hour with such efficiency and friendliness. We will definitely be back - this house is the perfect, peaceful, private home within easy driving distance to all the great spots available in the area.

Jonathan’s place is lovely and as described. The space was perfect for a relaxing getaway and is a great entertainment space. We especially loved the outside deck and people-watching which came with being right on the water and golf course. Jonathan himself was the perfect host, very responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring his guests are comfortable and have everything they need. Riaan, the house manger, was also super helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Maria’s . Close to beach and restaurants . The apartment is very large and very comfortable . We’ll be back !thanks Maria

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The resort's location on Garoda Beach, arguably the most beautiful beach in Watamu, is fantastic. We appreciated the convenience of being right by the beach, with easy access to the resort's sunbeds and pools. Additionally, it was nice to be within walking distance of places we enjoy (LichtHaus, the gym at Temple Point, and Kobe restaurant) We had the opportunity to stay in both the double room and the Cactus apartment. While we thoroughly enjoyed the Cactus apartment, the double room could get some improvements (real double bed and not twin beds put together for ie and some refreshments in the decoration).

It is a really nice unit, very comfortable. The services from the building are great and Jackline was a great host! She answered all my doubts super quickly, housekeeping is included with no extra charge.

Nothing to say, convenient and functional accommodation! Great value for money. Patrick is flexible and friendly. I recommend it!

well equipped and perfectly located accommodation, close to restaurants and shops. Exceptional view of the Lagoon from the terrace. i highly recommend this place.

Accommodation for 2 people, within the Saint Gilles square with private and secure entrances. Small gardens and common areas very very very well maintained. Very quiet neighbors, the small terrace overlooks the small gardens and flowered trees, to havebreakfast with the sunrise. Everything was spotlessly clean. The Hermitage is really very well located as a starting point to get around the island with your car. The beach is 100m away, the bakery at the foot of the apartment, the Carrefour Market just opposite and the Rodrigue mail (the paved way that goes to the sea) is there with a few small shops (bookstore, pharmacy, clothes etc.) and at the end: a nice covered terrace to watch the sunset accompanied by a planter and samoussas (and their ice cream is not bad either:) The market every Sunday morning with fruits and vegetables (better to go there from 8am) and clothes, souvenirs etc. Bookmark the address!:)

We had a wonderful stay , the apartment exactly matches the photo , access to the beach is very convenient , the sunset every day is just beautiful! Thank you very much Victor 👍🏼

Very lovely appartement with a beautiful view... would definitely recommend
