Waterfront vacation rentals in Shanzu

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.

Great host and location!

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.

We had a great stay at Miriam's place! The location was very convenient (Ubers always just minutes away and lots of restaurants available for food delivery through Glovo), and wonderful communication from both Miriam and Georgina. The place was clean and we had access to a cleaner each day to do some small cleaning and bedding changes. We only had two minor issues: 1. The listing states that there is private beach access, which is not really accurate. There is a back gate that leads to the water, but no beach, just a rocky area. This was a main reason for booking the place, so this was disappointing. 2. We were told by Georgina after we were already there that the pool is not suitable for swimming. This should also be updated in the listing. Would still recommend the place, and we enjoyed our stay.

the appartment was very big and amazing. it had many rooms and bathrooms, even more than the photos. the beach is like 15 mins away but the way there is beautiful and someone will take you there from the appartment and they can also take you back if you need. there are shops and restaurants nearby. I recommend this place

Really enjoyable stay. Betty and the other ladies at Ella Homes were so helpful. Very spacious apartment with excellent facilities. Only slight negative is the lack of hot water in the kitchen and bathroom sinks also no mixer in the showers so it's either cool or very hot once you put on the water heater

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

Staying with John and Hannah was quite simply an amazing experience. The place is cozy, and in a safe residential area within walking distance to Mama Ngina Dr. Plenty of places to eat, drink coffee nearby. John and Hannah went out of their way to make me feel at home - they answered all my questions about the local area and Mombasa in general, and were always available. A warm and welcoming family. A +

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.

Very clean and peaceful. The beaches makes staying here memorable. Will definitely come back.

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 !

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at MilaMax! It was like paradise. Very nice and helpful staff, and an excellent chef who cooked everything we wished for. Very beautiful home inside and out - we especially loved the pool area and the proximity to the beach. We also had a very nice massage at the end place. Can only recommend!

We loved this home. Eunice, Angelo and other staff members were awesome and friendly. Eunice made fantastic home cooked meals. We loved Siku their dog. She is super cute and extremely friendly. Very clean property. The pool was amazing! We swam day and night. The beach is close by and was also amazing! Warm and lots of fun. Supermarkets were a driveable distance. Used tuk tuks that are very affordable and safe. Highly recommend this home. We will be back!

Wonderful beautiful house and overall experience and very kind staff!! Stayed there with 3 kids.

The close proximity to the main road makes Jane's place the best for new guests,the apartment is 24hrs manned by security guards and Jane is very proactive and very understanding host. The place is home away from home.

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.😃

This was probably the best AirBnB I had been to. The place was beautiful, the views were amazing and the proximity to the swimming pool and the beach were just what we needed. Gumato was very responsive to all our needs and recommended an amazing chef who honestly overfed us! Once or twice the electricity went out but the back up generator came on almost instantly. I can't wait to get back here. I'm giving this place a 10/10 rating! I couldn't ask for more!

We stayed at Joseph’s place.The Apartmen was spotless the cleaner was very nice and helpful to my family.and had the best especially imaginable.The apartment is located 3mnts from the beach.the wifi speed was 100 mbps my husband was able to work online easily.All 3 bedrooms were ensuites and 2 had balcony with beautiful views.The place is close to everything you need.we loved this place!!such an amazing time.we be back for sure!we highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Mombasa looking for a confortable 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.
