Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Kwale County

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.

What a beautiful beautiful place. The pictures don’t do the house justice and Tiwi is a beach that is still as gorgeous as it was 30 years ago. No beach boys, no grief just lovely people everywhere. We snorkelled, swam in the pool, swam in the sea, played on the beach, rock pool hunted on the reef. Saw amazing starfish, moray eel, box fish and 3 types of sea hare as well as the “usual stuff”. We missed turtles hatching by 24 hours, but watched one come up to lay her eggs . The perfect place to spend a few days with the family chilling, talking and reconnecting. The verandah at the front is the best hub place. Then food - Anthony creates magic in the kitchen. Fresh fish, fruit and his tempura squid with coriander and soy sauce was delish. Fred the taxi driver is great and as a mixed family of 6 we could be as active and busy or not as we chose. The best way to end a trip to Kenya and as a previous resident it was perfect -Asante Tanya xx

Had a great time. Peaceful and beautiful!!

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.

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.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Galu Salama. Anni’s property is beautiful - very peaceful and quiet, away from the touristy areas of Diani. We spent hours in the immaculately clean pool. We slept well in the rooms that were spotless and cool thanks to the air conditioning. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with cooking supplies. The housekeeper, Nancy, welcomed us with fresh fruits and made us feel right at home. The house manager, Renson, took care of all our needs - from coordinating tuktuks for transport to sourcing and serving us fresh coconuts! Our kids enjoyed asking Renson all about coconuts and the mini lesson they got about the types of coconuts and its use in local cuisine. Thank you Anni for hosting us - we hope to visit again in the future if we are in Diani again!

Shamila’s home has beautiful character. My family loved the private swimming pool and the on site massages. We also utilized the chef who prepared many meals for us that were all flavorful and what we requested. The staff were so friendly and made us feel at home. We had a couple minor problems when we first arrived (a faucet and WiFi not working) and they immediately started working to resolve the problem. The staff recommended an excursion for us that turned out to be a highlight of our time there (glass bottom boat ride, snorkeling, and camel rides). We cannot say enough great things about the home and the hospitality we received from the staff. We hope to return some day to enjoy the facilities and the food again.

We had a fantastic stay at kiko’s beautiful Villa . The house is very nice clean, and well-maintained with tropical garden— perfect for a relaxing getaway. Kiko and Cathy were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay, welcome meal were provided since we have arrive late: They went above and beyond by arranging a private chef (Eric)for us including shopping for all the groceries, and the meals were amazing! and also helped coordinate transportation to and from the airport. The location is ideal — just a 10-minute walk to the beach or you can take Tuktuk to the beach. The house also has its own private pool and a great garden outdoor where we could hang out and chill. We were a group of 7 families, and the space was more than enough for all of us. The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. Highly recommend this place for large groups or families looking to enjoy Diani Beach in comfort and style! We had relax and enj

Nice , Calm,peaceful the most serene place everyone should visit A home away from home

it was a beautiful holiday in a lovely and well furnished apartment. with a view of the ocean by day and the sound of waves by night. we really enjoyed joeys house and it was very convenient to have a restaurant next door. everyone was very friendly and we had a great and relaxing time. thanks!

Ayan was a wonderful host! She welcomed us personally and showed us the beautifully furnished apartment. It was very clean and well maintained. Through her profile, we discovered fun activities and found great inspiration for our stay. She was very helpful, which made our stay much easier. I could reach her at any time, and she always responded quickly to my messages. The apartment is very bright, which we personally really liked. It’s furnished in a minimalist Swahili style, which added a unique and charming touch. If it’s available next year, we’ll definitely book again!

Fiona is a great host and quick to respond. The apartment is in a safe and secure environment. Her home is beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We shall certainly be back.

Doreen was a fantastic host—warm, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. She gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat, and even helped us book water-based activities and restaurant reservations, which made our stay so much easier and more enjoyable. Her hospitality truly stood out and added a personal touch to our trip. Highly recommended!

The apartment is bright, airy, and spacious-just like the photos. It's in a good location, a short stroll from Nyali Mall, the beach, and cafés, with responsive hosts and excellent amenities. Highly recommend!

My stay at Emmanuel's apartment in was fantastic! The apartment was exactly as pictured, clean, modern, and well-equipped, including great air conditioning. The location was convenient, and Emmanuel was a very responsive and helpful host. I especially appreciated the easy check-in and check-out process. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in Mombasa. Thanks, Emmanuel, for a wonderful experience!

All good. If I'm back in Diani, I'll book here again.

Pam’s Place was the perfect choice for our needs during our trip to attend a wedding at the Diani Beach Resort. Traveling on a budget, my wife and I took a chance on this affordable gem, which offered exceptional value compared to the resort. Nestled in a stunning location, it’s ideal for those seeking an authentic experience immersed in the local community, unlike the more private, tourist-oriented resort. The highlight was our host, Pam, whose warmth and responsiveness went above and beyond. When we forgot our phone chargers, she generously lent us her own. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Pam’s Place for travelers looking for great value and a genuine connection with the local culture.

It was such an amazing experience and tbh I would do it over and over again. Peter is so homely and so friendly, he definitely makes you feel home away from home. Benta offered cleaning for each and every of the days we were there and was super helpful. A 10/10 experience all round.

I love this bnb! this was my 2nd stay and won't be the last. whenever am traveling to mombasa this is my go to spot. the bnb is beautiful the decor is kool unique and stylish . the seller is the view!! it's what really draws me there each time. loaded with amenities pretty much everything you can think of is there. very comfortable sofa seating and bed. I literally have no complaints the only thing that could make it better is if it was in a more happening area but it's easy to get around with ubers. the host is amazing she always gets back to me with any concerns and rectified them. she definitely takes wanting us to have a good experience serious. pro tip . there is a store nearby on called food plus where you can get cases of water, snacks and even food stuff for cooking. the big thing is there is also a pharmacy and atm in that same Plaza. good to know because there is not an atm at the premises where you'll stay. cash is king.

Place is very clean, owner communicates effectively making it much easy. Location of the property is very good, very close to the beach and service centre's. A very quiet and secure place

Sean place was great 😊 and my family really enjoy the place , thank you Sean for having hosted my wife and children’s… All the best

Marie's place was superb! We had an early arrival to Mombasa which Marie gladly accomodated. She was responsive and a phone call away incase we needed anything. Thank you Marie! We will visit again

We loved staying at Wangari's, the house and neighbourhood more than exceeded our expectations. The area is peaceful and easily accessible from the road and other amenities. Would 100% recommend.

I had a wonderful stay at Brian’s place! The home was spotless and well-maintained, with a beautiful view that made our mornings especially enjoyable. The location was excellent—convenient, peaceful, and close to everything we needed. Brian was a very responsive and helpful host, always quick to reply and make sure we were comfortable. A special thanks as well to the lovely lady who assisted with cleaning—she was kind, professional, and added to the overall positive experience. The amenities were great and everything was just as described. Would definitely recommend and stay again! Looking forward to stay with you again...
