Beautiful Beach House to Rent in Mombasa, Kenya.
The house is situated on a 2 acre plot, fronting a white coral sand beach, surrounded by coconut palms, frangipani trees and bougainvillea. It is about 2 miles south of Mombasa Island, on the Kenya coast, about 45 minutes drive from the airport. The beach is peaceful – there are no big hotels nearby and therefore no beach boys. There is a lovely swimming pool with a big shallow end for children to play in safely.
The house has 4 large air conditioned bedrooms, each with its en-suite bathroom and solar heated water. Each has a balcony, either facing east toward the sea and the sunrise or inland and west to the sunset. The main balcony facing the sea has a big table with chairs and is a place for the family to eat breakfast or relax with a drink in the evening. The house sleeps 9. The 2 bedrooms facing the sea each have a big double bed and the other bedrooms are a twin and a triple, with single beds. There is also a bed / settee with mosquito net in the study that can be used for an additional person to sleep on. There is a toilet beside it, but no en suite bathroom.
The dining room has a large dining table and the lounge area is comfortably furnished with a settee and easy chairs. There is a TV and DVD player and a variety of board games. The kitchen is large and fully equipped.

Pool, Garden and Beach
The house is situated on a 2 acre plot, with the white coral sand beach in front. The garden has coconut palms, from which you can have fresh “madafu” (Kiswahili for green coconut) to drink, mango trees, frangipani trees and masses of bougainvillea.
The pool has a large shallow end for children to play and for adults to relax, together with a deep end that is deep enough to dive in. The water is smooth and does not smell of chlorine. There is a wide sandstone surround to the pool, with sun loungers you can sunbathe and relax on and a table with an umbrella shade and chairs to sit at or have meals.
The beach is white coral sand, and you can swim in its warm waters when the tide is in. There is a wide fringing reef about 1km offshore, which provides a barrier that makes swimming completely safe from strong currents and sharks.
