Beachfront vacation rentals in Kilifi County

Lovely home, with very helpful staff and a responsive host. Definitely going to re-book when in Kilifi

We definitely recommend this place!! Beautiful location surrounded by the mangroves, really idyllic and easy to access. 15 min walk to the beach, 5 min to Lichthouse and 2 min to the creak. Great chef and support staff that made sure we all we needed. Absolutely beautiful, great common spaces and comfortable.

Very nice quiet clean place. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and relax then this is your go to place.

Absolutely stunning house and great communication from the host and office. The house is a bit older so bathrooms are a bit old and had some issues, but apart from that it is absolutely beautiful and right on the beach. Even better than on photos!

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!

This is a lovely house on the beach just next to Treehouse Watamu. The location is excellent, the staff very friendly, and the house has lots of spots to relax and hangout. It also has a nice pool, good mosquito nets and lots of fans. The ocean is a 3 minute walk and this particular stretch of beach is peaceful, empty and hassle free. The house has two good sized double rooms with a bunkbed (double down, single up) in a small corridor. It fit our family of five perfectly. Will definitely be back.

Wesa Beach House is a terrific, secluded stay in the heart of the Swahili coast. Definitely recommended. The house: is well cared for, and linens, fixtures, and the house itself is well maintained against the sea air. We comfortably slept 3 adults in separate rooms and 4 young children. The staff: Charles and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Incredibly responsive, on time, and proactively communicate. The food every day was incredible (with surprises like crab pizza!). We enjoyed the massages as well. Everyone went above and beyond to take good care of us. The pool: beautiful temperature--we spent hours swimming every day The beach: Wesa House is the only modern house on the beach. However the beach is a busy local fishing area, with the bustle of the fish trade. The beach does have a good amount of seaweed, but just a few feet into the reef it's a gorgeous clear-water swim in knee-deep water. It was perfect for our young kids.

The hosts are very friendly and kind. They made sure that we settled in well. We had a dedicated chef and housekeeping. There is also a SPA in the compound; if you are looking for a 3 bedroom apartment with en-suite bathrooms in a quiet area, very central, this is the right place to stay in Watamu. The supermarket is 10 minutes away. The beach is 10 min walking distance

Excellent stay as always. Great host

The house is amazing and the setting is wonderful. They also provided us with the contact to hire a cook who was great and a driver to get around the area. I recommend it 100%.

Loved our stay at Mahine's place. We would definitely recommend! Timely response from Mahine in case of issues or requests. Beautiful scenery, access to the white sandy beach, several swimming pools to accommodate the many people who’ve chosen to stay there for the gem that the place is. The little ones are also well taken care of with the various baby pools and kids play and entertainment areas. Very family friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

Liked the cottage a lot. Needs some refreshing to get a total 5 star for the value from me. Otherwise enjoyed being there much.

Great stay. Amazing host. The home is comfortable and the service was great. Thanks

This stylish and fully equipped apartment is located in a secure complex with two pools and private beach access, offering the perfect mix of comfort and luxury. The three spacious bedrooms each have large, comfortable beds, a private bathroom with a shower and air conditioning. The unique circular design ensures a pleasant sea breeze, while cozy seating areas invite you to relax. Two dedicated staff members are available around the clock, keeping the apartment spotless, preparing delicious meals and providing hotel-quality service. The incredibly friendly and helpful host Franca responds quickly and is highly flexible. She effortlessly accommodates all wishes and needs, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay.

We loved our stay here so much. The view was stunning, and the layout really lovely. There was only 4 of us staying and it was perfect for that number. Watamu is hot, very hot, but there was an incredible breeze off the sea, fantastic pool that was cool but not cold, and the fans above the beds were perfect for keeping us cool at night. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Chef Funds food was delicious, and highly recommend his white or red snapper, chicken or beef. Joyce was polite, discreet and very helpful. She even washed our clothes for us. Can not recommend more. Hopefully will be back.

We had a wonderfull stay in Ritchie's House. The house itself is wonderful, has a very beautiful garden and access to the beach. The service was excellent, and the chef was very professional and good as well. In short: we had an excellent stay at Ritchie's House. On top of that, all communication with Vivienne went extremely smooth. We felt warmly welcomed, even long before we even arrived. Vivienne is very responsive, and helped us with restaurant recommendations as well.

Wonderful house in a quiet area, within easy reach to Kilifi in 5 minutes by car/ 10 minutes by tuk tuk. Three large bedrooms, plenty of space to relax around the pool and a big garden... we felt so comfortable that we found it hard it to leave the house to explore Kilifi. On top of that, the fantastic staff always ready to help you and to prepare great meals (and when you are Italian food expectations are quite high..) no doubt where to go if I had to come back to Kilify. Thanks Susie for hosting us and for the early check-in.

Fabulous villa with masses of space and well equipped kitchen . Photos on Airbnb don’t do it justice as the villa spaces are far bigger than you’d imagine and the air conditioning worked well . The villa is private , clean , spacious and the team from medina palms looked after us extremely well . Every day we had a lovely house team who cleaned and then also came in the afternoon to do the turn down for the night . We went snorkelling one day and also enjoyed near by restaurants and the markets for shopping . Plenty of tuk tuks whenever you needed one . Thank you for a wonderful stay

Our stay at Villa Mkauju was absolutely fantastic! The villa is stunning, offering tranquility and comfort. A big thank you to the wonderful staff who were incredibly attentive and made us feel at home. Special thanks to the owner for maintaining such a beautiful property. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in Malindi. Can't wait to return!

The space is exactly what you want for a beach getaway with friends - beautiful coastline and sea views off the back verandah. The staff are incredibly helpful yet unobtrusive, and being on Bofa Road means the rest of Kilifi is easily accessible. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fabulous place. I would highly recommend it. Rachel had clear instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and has everything you need. There is so much to do in the area, Malindi is a lovely place to visit. Musa was very helpful and showed us around making sure we got everything we needed. Thank you for having us.

we had the best stay at Silvyas place. The ocean view from the apartment was amazing, access to the beach was easy any time and our chef Gibson was amazing too and on time as well.Silvya is also very Jovial 😊. Value for money and we will be back

We found this property to be more than expected. We had a wonderful time and appreciated the excellent service we received. If you are visiting Malindi and want a quiet location with the best amenities, this is the place to stay!
