Villa holiday rentals in Kenya

We liked our stay very much! Very big place for ourselves with kind staff. Efrat also knows many contacts to make the stay more comfortable (drivers, chefs etc.) The private chef was a new and very affordable experience which we enjoyed very much.

What a beautiful place to spend a week away with family. This beautiful home with its glorious garden and pristine views was the perfect place to chill, bond and spend time together. The cherry on top was Tim’s fantastic staff including chef Elijah, whose food we miss already! The whole team went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible including helping organise transfers, tours and a Christmas BBQ at home. I will 100% be back to this exact place.

This Villa is all we needed for a family getaway(13people). Davis was so helpful from the moment we booked till our last day. The villa has the most beautiful view of lake naivasha and mount long longonot. The stay was perfected by Freddy, the chef. He knew exactly what we needed and considered the kids in all his menu’s. The food was so delicious, he left us speechless all the time. On the other hand Godwin made us feel so comfortable and was always near when we needed him; from cleaning the pool to making the bonfire and many more.

Chris and his team understand what it means to be phenomenal hosts. We felt well taken cared off from housekeeping to security as well as other accommodations that Chris provided as needed. Will definitely be booking again.

What an absolutely amazing place. We were nine people spending a few days at Fulvio’s place and we got so spoiled by his wonderful staff. I can highly recommend the place and would definitely consider it for next time we go to Watamu.

The chef Daniel , the caretaker Josphat and the rest of the team did a great job taking care of us . The food was perfect every day every meal . Thank you Daniel. Josphat showed around the beach and mombasa town . Great people.

Nice place to checkin

I mean… this place was perfect. Well appointed, spacious and obviously built for the local weather. It’s close to the beach, has a great pool, wonderful staff and excellent host. There was wifi, power, hot water consistently (better than Nairobi/Kampala!) and good kitchen stuff including sharp knives! What more can you ask for? We had three families with kids for a week and everyone enjoyed thoroughly.

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!

Lovely home, super nice rooms, and a good area. We had a super great weekend in Diani.

We had a wonderful stay at Ibambe Villa, one of the nicest properties on the Kenyan coast. We were with two families and 4 children. Kids friendly pool, with easy and direct access to the best stretch of beach in Watamu. The house is beautiful, clean, tastefully decorated, with spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Elias and the team were very helpful. Food was amazing. Would wholeheartedly recommend Ibambe to anyone!

Come for the views, stay for the food! What a beautiful spot with tons of space to spread out. The house and grounds were gorgeous, located on a pristine beach, yet relatively private. The staff were all super helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Pool was refreshing, yet surprisingly deep. Chef Nixon made us amazing seafood dishes all week. Only draw back was the lack of A/C in the bedrooms, which most comparably priced stays offer in the area. Check out the kite surfing, SUP, and kayaking rentals right next store. During low tide, head straight out half a mile to the sandbar and enjoy hunting for starfish!

We had an absolutely peaceful and fun stay at Villa E'mocean! The house is stunning and well laid out. The bedrooms are spacious and the living areas are very open. The salt water pool is perfect for little ones to play in and has a perfect lap lane for those that want to really swim. The best part was the amazing staff that took great care of us from Chef Bony cooking meals just for us to Marita and Euralia keeping everything clean and organized. We are so glad we came and we hope to visit again!

Rispa is such a good host. Her staff are also such lovely people. Paul gave us directions to the place and took care of us while we were there. Emmanuel, the chef, and the cleaning lady were also lovely. The place is truly the white villa. It is so clean and spacious. It is private, and Paul also helped us organise logistics wherever we decided to move. 10/10 would recommend.

Without any doubt, a perfect place in Shela. Tristan's team at the house is exceptional, in that, discrete, polite and helpful with a smile. The house is a true example of local architecture, design, and materials with all modern amenities. John's food is as good as it can be! We recommend it without any reservation.

The Makuti house is a beautiful, spacious house where I felt right at home. It is located on a screened, guarded area with some houses and a very nice swimming pool right next to the house. In the neighborhood there are shops for food, clothes, but also beautiful African fabrics. A little further away but easily accessible interesting places to visit. A beach is 1 km away. So a very nice place to use as a base.

Kevin’s place was so great we decided to go back again for another few days, towards the end of our trip. Everything was impeccable, and Kevin was very attentive and flexible, allowing us to have a late check out which suite our travel needs perfectly. Rose cooked a few times for us this time and her food is fabulous, we highly recommend her services, plus she was very friendly, patient and very accommodating. Another great stay at Kevin’s place, it’s home away from home. Kevin a great bloke, friendly, chatty, helpful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again and hopefully one day we get to meet Kevin in person for a beer. Thank you, Julz and Mina ☺️.

We stayed at Christine's premises and from the moment we stepped into the home, we felt at peace and home away from home. Mr. Mutungi was very welcoming, gave us all the assistance we needed for the stay. Maurice the taxi person ensured our smooth movement right from the terminus and back. We had Chef Maureen who ensured we were served with sumptuous meals and a cake as we had a birthday to stay. The kids enjoyed the toys, trampoline and swimming pool which was their favourite spot. What stood out for us was the daily cleaning of the home which left the place always clean and fresh done by the humble lady Miriam. Plus Christine is flexible to allow late check out depending on circumstance. Would recommend this place for a family staycation and I'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful 5-day stay in Lamu. The service was outstanding, the meals were delicious with a chef who took great care of us, and the house was impeccable. Nina and Jamal were very responsive to our requests. The house is perfectly located right on the water, between the pool and the sea, with plenty of shaded areas thanks to several patios. We will definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our time at this property. Everything was clean and well maintained. Biggy was a great help and made sure we were right at home. The pool was marvelous! Overall the apartment was great and we really enjoyed our time here. Would recommend this to anyone!

best place we have stayed , fantastic house at a good location walking distance to some restaurants and the beach ⛱️ I would recommend anyone to stay here . special thx to Patrick and george who are great hosts ! we will be back for sure

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.

I enjoyed my stay at Ronald’s. Although location was kinda far from beach and Ubers had a difficult time finding us when we needed to be picked up the Airbnb met my expectations and held up to its value. Would book again.
