Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kenya

We had a wonderful stay at Graham's property. The space was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. The host was very accommodating, providing clear instructions and quick communication throughout my stay. The location was ideal, offering both convenience and tranquility. Thank you for providing such a great place to stay!

Clementine and Fred were very helpful. Clementine's cooking was great, the grounds are very well kept and a nice place to take a walk. There were several nice places to sit outside and lots of nice areas to sit and talk inside. Shiku responded quickly each time I emailed and answered all my questions.

Great place, easy check in and check out. Spotless apartment also with very comfortable furniture/beds. Thank you Josephine

Christine was very good in communicating. The house was very clean and spacious. Christine was flexible in having us check in late at night. The property is easy to access and very near the road. I would recommend this house to any guest looking for a house which can accommodate many guests.

Since the guests staying upstairs were still walking around at 3: 00 or 4: 00 in the morning, it was very noisy and made it difficult to sleep. Contact the host to request a change of rooms for us. The receptionist was very kind and helped us to check the other room first. Thank you very much.

nice place, spacious, good location in the center of many a popular, safe area.

I said That it was better than Mt expectations but as I've stayed with George and Ester lots of times I know to expect a great stay. But the form isn't designed for such comments. I love staying with George and Ester they are lovely people and are so helpful and friendly. They offer great value for money.

This is a place that my family and I have stayed at many times, and I am happy to keep returning to. Wonderful location and very nice host! Thanks alot Leila.

I have always stayed at Maureen's place on all my visits to Nairobi and never been disappointed. The hosts are responsive and flexible with their guests. This is the only place that I look at when booking a stay in Nairobi.

We had an incredible one-night stay at this unique treehouse in Nairobi! The setting was peaceful and surrounded by nature, making it feel like a hidden oasis in the city. The space was beautifully designed - cozy, clean, and full of charm. The hosts were warm and welcoming, ensuring everything was perfect. Waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying the view from the balcony was a highlight. Highly recommend for a magical and refreshing getaway.

This place is definitely worth your time looking at. I thought I’d miss being right at the beach, but honestly, we looked forward to coming ‘home’ to Joseph and David and the calm, quiet, cool of Ruby House. We spent time reading, playing games, reconnecting and resting, as well as swimming and bobbing in the creek - listening and watching birds. It is so peaceful - chatting with fishermen, and just taking in the surroundings. We went for a few day trips- the Gede ruins are well worth an hour of your time, sand dunes north of malindi were great. And we LOVED Garoda Beach - much less seaweed and less busy. I could not speak more highly of the staff - they were present but not, flexible, understanding and really wanted to help make your time enjoyable. The rooms were so comfortable. I think it may be a little hot in the very hot month, but it gets a lovely breeze and there is always the one room to escape into for an afternoon nap if necessary - but we didn’t need to do this. Thanks!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elodie's place! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was easy, and the space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still quiet and peaceful. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Diani. Would definitely come back!

The location was perfect for me and the unit is in a very secure community. Overall, my stay was good. The place wasn't dirty, but it wasn't super clean either. The main sliding glass door also didn't lock so the unit was never fully secured, but I was able to lock my belongings in the bedroom.

Our stay in this stunning open-plan house was absolutely fantastic! The spacious design, beautiful décor, and relaxed vibe made it the perfect getaway. The highlight was the gorgeous pool and the charming dining gazebo in the garden, where we enjoyed unforgettable meals. Chef Sammy was incredible—his lobster and steaks were out of this world! He and his team took care of everything, from refilling the fridge with drinks to handling grocery shopping, making life effortless. The house features four lovely bedrooms, including a massive top-floor suite that feels like a private retreat. Our host was amazing, providing great local tips that made our trip even more special. If you're looking for a place where comfort meets luxury with outstanding service, this is it. Highly recommended!

We had a great time at Olomaiana house! Fabulous sundowner spot, breathtaking horseback rides, fun games and room to run around for the kids, and a well equipped kitchen for prepping big family meals. Mary, Peter, and the team were very welcoming and helpful. We'd definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back!

We enjoyed staying at Garys place a lot. We appreciated the most 1) access to a beautiful beach with very few people; 2) amazing and authentic style house with wonderful balcony; 3) hospitality of local employees who prepared delicous meals and took care of cleaning the house. We thought that for kids a pool will be needed, but during our stay they actually enjoyed a lot to the ocean - playing in the water and collecting sea shells. Not far from Garys place in a walking distance are few interesting sight seeing spots. Highly recommended!

I felt at home immediately I arrived at Swordfish.The guard expressed readiness to host us.During the stay,Gladys was very helpful and made our stay cool . Rossella assisted with a list of cabs to engage during the stay that we really appreciated.I would highly recommend Swordfish samaki house to anyone willing to stay in Malindi.

The Lucita pool house is gorgeous with a great view of the lake. The greenery is beautiful, and the house is well located and very secure. Our host was extremely friendly and always willing to help. We loved our stay!

After a few bookings in the area fell through due to dishonest listings and poor cleanliness, we were feeling stuck for somewhere to go during our stay (make sure you vet your accommodation in Diani!!). We found Leonards place last min, and he was so responsive and helpful from the get go. We arrived to a lovely, clean villa exactly as described - Rose and the rest of the staff were so friendly and present, making our stay very enjoyable. The AC in the rooms provided immediate respite from the heat of the coast. The kitchen is well stocked and we managed to cook up some great meals. With no AC in the living space, it does get a little stuffy but not a huge issue for us. The villa is actually more like an 8 min walk to the beachfront and Pallet Cafe, and nighttime dips in the shared pool provided some peaceful stargazing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say booking into Leonard's place rescued our trip! We'd love to book both villas next time for a longer stay with more people.

We had a wonderful 4 nights stay with family of 5. The owner responded quickly, send us very detailed information of all you need to know and arranged pick up at Mombasa airport. The staff is very friendly, helpful and at the same time gives you privacy. Reuben the chef provided us splendid meals, we especially enjoyed all the fresh seafood!Recommended is to do shopping before arrival because bigger supermarkets are 40 minutes drive away. Fruits, vegetables, water, fish, soda’s are easy to get in the village but for more luxurious groceries you have to go to the bigger supermarkets. You can book the pick up from the airport with a shopping stop in Nyali. Neen Tree is a lovely family house with marvellous view and direct access to the ocean. A friendly monkey family lives on the property and are fun to watch. Besides the pool we loved going snorkelling on the rif using the equipment from the house. For transport we used Tsuma with a comfortable 7 seater which we used for a Kilifi trip.

What a stunning view. With two young kids the location connected to the Great Rift Valley Lodge is brilliant - the kids spent all day in the pool and loved the kids club. The place had lots of space and was very comfortable. Lucille was very easy to communicate with - a great host.

Absolutely beautiful! Location is perfect. The house is stunning, with plenty of space for large groups, a lovely pool and breathtaking view. The staff were amazing and took great care of us. An unforgettable holiday!

It was my second time in Swordfish Villas and Mila’s villa was absolutely fantastic. Very well maintained and well equipped. Communication with Mila was very easy and always helpful. The staff at Swordfish Villas are wonderful. Jimmy did an excellent job at the house. If you want to spend some days in paradise, book Mila’s house.

Good location (10min walk to the beach) and very peaceful. Kiko (the host) is very friendly and responds quickly to all queries. We had a plate of pasta and fruits waiting for us, which made our first night there super easy. Eric (chef) and the rest of the staff were also very attentive and provided a great service. And if you prefer to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. I'd recommend!
