Family-friendly holiday rentals in Diani

We loved staying at Familia House! Everyone was very welcoming and nice! The place was also incredible for our family of four! This was our first time in Diani and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay! Beach is less than 10 min walk away. They also have amazing dogs Mikki and Lala!😭❤️❤️ The chef was also amazing!! 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back again in future!

Great place to stay. Secluded, private and wonderfully located. Kitchen staff superlative. Pool great for all the family. Very roomy.

Super wonderful and amazing villa, tranquility and privacy. The villa is well furnished and the staff at the place are attentive yet give you your personal space. Torunn has a meticulous attention to detail and was a super host. All in all it’s a was great stay and cannot wait to come back in near future. 10 out of 10

We are absolutely impressed with the accommodation! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the chef spoiled us with exceptional dishes – every food was a real highlight. Thanks to the warm care, we felt safe and well cared for the entire time. The private pool and direct access to a beautiful, quiet beach are special benefits. The somewhat remote location also creates an idyllic and pristine atmosphere. We highly recommend this place and are already looking forward to our next visit!

African house is beautiful with a well kept large garden and pool. It Is very clean with diffent animal themed bed rooms. located in a central location that makes it easy to access the beach, shops and restaurants. Dog friendly too meaning we took our pet with us. The staff are really friendly and very proactive. The host is very responsive and helpful. I have already recommended it to my family and Friends for their Christmas holidays.

Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!

We had a great time in colobus house, in the middle of Diani. Great location, direct access to beach, atmospheric traditional thutched roof and house design all boost the holiday mood. Staffs were kind and friendly, always helpful. We also enjoyed the stable supply of heated ans not-salty shower water. It was a great stay in the center of Diani.

Great Place!! We really enjoyed our stay at Shalom. It was just what our family needed. Quiet and serene, close to the beach and other family friendly activities. Our kids enjoyed the pool. Lots of restaurants nearby. Place was clean and caretakers were responsive. We felt right at home.

Lovely place to stay with my family for 5 nights over New Year. Short walk to Beach, great chef Jacob and housekeeper Janet always there to help. Comfortable and clean. Lots of space. Great pool. House and eating area nicely shaded from the heat.

The house is beautifully presented with 4 enormous double bedrooms, two with equally enormous balconies. The pictures do not do the property justice. Mzuri House is part of a well run little complex. Security is ever present and you feel perfectly at ease at all times. The house feels very private and is 20M from the quieter Galu Beach, an extension of Diani beach. Sails and Salty Squid restaurants are excellent and only 100M. However the main attractions at Mzuri House are Liz the housekeeper and Shee the chef. Both were amazing hosts. Liz will communicate with before you arrive. She will arrange everything for you from airport pick-ups to restaurant bookings as well as keep the house spotless. Shee the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and lunch and / or dinner. All meals were extraordinary local dishes that our usually difficult to please 3 kids devoured! We can not recommend Mzuri House enough and in particular Liz and Shee.

The place was beautiful and homely. The reception was absolutely greatly and it’s a place we’d consider going back to.

We had a fantastic stay at Patricia’s house. From the moment we booked, Patricia was incredibly supportive and responsive to all our inquiries, making sure everything was clear and easy. She was always available if we had any questions during our stay, which made us feel very well taken care of. The housekeeper was also wonderful—keeping the space spotless and ensuring we had everything we needed. And the chef! The meals were absolutely delicious and thoughtfully prepared, making each dining experience a treat. Both were professional, friendly, and ensured that our stay was lovely and enjoyable. The house is beautiful and it met all our expectations i.e. Beach front (One of our key requirements), And all the indicated amenities and proximity to key facilities. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch stay. I’m already planning my next visit. Thank you so much for everything—you’ve earned loyal guests. 🤩

Lucia's place was an amazing stay for my friends and I. We had the pleasure of renting out all the villa's on Lucia's property which was ideal for a large group such as ourselves. So please consider this location for both small or large groups as the place can easily accommodate both options. The villas are in a nice location with easy access to a beach which is a few metres away on foot. It was easy to find the location on Google Maps and through the pin shared by Lucia and her team. There are also a couple of restaurants and cafes in the area if you would like to venture out and explore. Lucia has maintained the villas very well, keeping them spotless clean, tidy and well fitted with accessories such as portable fans, day beds, lounge pillows, daybeds, extra towels etc. She has a great team of staff who were courteous, extremely helpful , well mannered and happy. We also noted that Lucia was hands on and in some cases worked alongside her team completing chores. Lucia lives close to the property and occasionally popped in to check on us but still provided us with privacy to enjoy our holiday. She was also kind enough to give us a New Year's gift which was nice touch. Lucia had a team of chefs available as part of the stay and they made us some amazing meals. The breakfast options were tasty and non-monotonous. I also highly recommend having the chefs make you some Seafood as they made us some of the most tasty seafood we've ever had. The place is also very secure. There was a guard available who would reconfirm with us any visitors before letting them in and there is also a lockable garage area if you come with a car. Overall, our stay was great. We had a lot of fun, the place was clean and the staff were always at hand to help us with anything we asked for such as booking massage sessions at the villas, covid testing, taxis etc. I highly recommend the place as you can feel Lucia's personal which makes the place feel like a home away from home.

Always a pleasure staying at this listing.... 10/10 minus nothing! Already looking forward to my next stay....

What a wonderful home! The house is even more spacious than it looks in the photos (especially the living room and main bedroom). Leonard always responded so quickly to our inquiries, and Juma and Rose were super kind and gracious throughout our stay. Would highly recommend!

super clean, well located for Diani. chilling place. excellent house keeping by Rhonda. swimming pool to myself, most of the time!. good communication by the host, highly recommended

We spend 6 nights at the beautiful garden villa and we had a great time. It was amazing to be so close to nature - and everything that goes with it. We had some incidents where monkeys came in and stole our groceries from the fridge. We solved the problem by putting a chair in front, and then there was no more steeling. We could only laugh at it, and it just made our visit more authentic. But a quick fix could be to put some simple children locks on the fridge. The villa is located a 10 minute walk from Chandarana (grocery store) and it had direct access to the beach, where sun-beds were provided so beach sellers would not disturb you. The staff were amazing and very kind. So a big thank you to Sylvia, Freda, mama Hawa Abdahllah, David, Daniel, Hassan, and everybody else for making us feel welcome, save, and looked after.

Akiki apartments afford exceptional quality and hospitality, all in a prime location. Tom is an excellent host; proactive, friendly and very helpful to assist with your stay on site and with wider recommendations for transport and things to do. His team also made us feel tremendously welcome for the whole stay - we will be coming back!

Our stay at this stunning Diani property from Dec 23 to Jan 2, 2025, was absolutely perfect! The house was clean, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The garden and pool were serene highlights, providing the perfect retreat after days at the nearby beach. Silvio, Eunice (our house manager) and the staff were amazing—always available, responsive, and eager to help with recommendations or any needs during our stay. Their care and attention truly made our holiday seamless and enjoyable. The location was ideal, offering privacy while being close to the pristine Diani beach and local attractions. Thoughtful touches throughout the home made it feel welcoming and comfortable. A special thank you to Silvio and Eunice, who went above and beyond to make our stay effortless and memorable. This property exceeded our expectations and gave us an unforgettable holiday during the festive season. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!
