Waterfront vacation rentals in Mombasa

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!

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.

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.

I booked the house for a family holiday, and it was perfect , we truly felt at home. The house and rooms were clean, and we had a wonderful time. Lena and Winnie were incredibly helpful during our stay, assisting us with everything we needed and making our experience unforgettable.

Had a wonderful and homely stay at Fahmi's apartment. It was exactly as described on the pages. Fahmi is such a caring host,readily available to help out and a very good communicator. The place is good for family and this made me add extra night for my mum and the babies to enjoy the house and the beach more. Everything was working in the rooms. I will be back again and again.

Beautiful apartment in a lovely location 2 minutes from the beach. Apartment had all the amenities you needed and was clean. Peaceful and safe.....Will be back soon.

I definitely would recommend a stay in this apartment. Steve was very friendly and helpful from the very first contact to our check out. The flat is very well situated, with a lot of space, comfortable, fully equipped, good and stable wifi etc., and an amazing view from the big balcony to the ocean. The apartment is also placed close to everything, the sea, the City Mall and nice restaurants. When I get back to Mombasa I will definitely book the same apartment again, if it’s available. Thank you very much Steve, for a very pleasant stay :) Claus

We lived our stay at the White House cottage. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return. We are a family of four and it was perfect. The staff was so warm and helpful. Definitely hire the local chef recommendation. We had delicious food in the convenience of our own veranda looking at the ocean. The location right on the beach with the private, expansive grounds was perfect. The house has incredible views and is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you have a big group, try to rent the White House next door and have an amazing holiday with family or friends.

For centuries mankind has been searching for the fountain of youth, and you still won't find it here, but you will find the doorway to paradise. With just one turn of the doorknob you walk through the doorway to paradise. The Indian Ocean rocking you asleep at night, your own personal chef preparing the amazing local delights, and blissful days of beach and ocean activities.

We recently stayed with a group of four friends at Little Maua in Diani for three nights, and it was a great experience. The hospitality of the hosts was exceptional; they were very welcoming, and always ready to assist with any needs. The architecture and design of the building are truly remarkable, a mix of modern structures with coastal charm. The location is perfect, with easy access to the beach, allowing for relaxing walks and stunning ocean views. Communication with the host was seamless and efficient, making the entire booking process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Little Maua for anyone looking for a serene and beautiful getaway. 🌴🏖️

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!

We just loved this place and thought it it even more beautiful than on the images. The tasteful house offers a spectacular view directly onto the ocean. The architecture is beautiful and everything works well. The place is located in a very safe and luxurious estate with access to a private beach an larger pool. We had daily visits from cute monekys and other pretty birds. The staff is very reliable and friendly and the chef great (this is a fully serviced house wirh a cook, someone doing the clothes etc.). Our only problem was, that we did not want to leave !

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.

What a gorgeous place. If you’re an animal lover, this is the best place to be in the Diani area. Monkeys everywhere on the veranda, in the garden, by the pool! Gorgeous birds. Starfish island nearby. Adequate snorkeling. I was initially worried because the Honeymoon Tent seemed like a better choice online, but to us, Ocean View villa has the most to offer of the properties on the compound! Lovely as a couple or for a group you know intimately (the rooms are quite porous if sharing the home). Mike was incredibly helpful and flexible, with an incredible life story. Martin our chef was warm and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely come back again. PS would recommend ordering the shopping ahead of time, can be a bit hectic to do it on the night of your arrival.

I enjoyed with my family stay at John's place, beachfront cottages.

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.

Brigid has a very clean well furnished apartment that's in a serene well guarded location The swimming pool is clean and there is ample parking. She is an awesome host who is available incase of anything.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at this apartment. The view alone is worth every penny you can see almost the entire Mombasa coastline from the windows and balcony, making each sunrise and sunset unforgettable. The apartment is spacious and beautifully kept, with a modern yet cozy ambience that made me feel right at home. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities I could ask for. Additionally, the location was perfect, with a nearby mosque and a walking distance to all shops, supermarkets you name it; adding a unique cultural touch and peaceful vibe to the neighborhood. The combination of breathtaking views, cleanliness, and a relaxing atmosphere made my stay truly special. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone visiting Mombasa! Thank you to Soha abodes and her entire team i had an amaizing stay.😃

The place is amazing. Looks exactly as the pictures and the host's response is immediately if you have any questions. Definitely going back and recommending it to others especially if you want to explore Nyali

If you're looking for a safe and secure place to stay in a good part of Mombasa this is it. Located in English Point, Nyali, the complex and apartment is with easy reach of everything you want to see. The view is great, the place is new and has a wonderful view. The hosts have you covered on information and places to stay. Good wifi and beach below. Good for families or singles. Lovely dog Bobby. I'll be back.
