About this property

Kilifi Hideaway, Cozy 1BR – Island at Bofa

Private pool for the 3 separate units in the property, two ensuite marble bedrooms, and a 17-minute walk to Bofa Beach. Smaller footprint, same private pool with the 3 separate units in the property and marble finish as our larger units but built for couples or solo travelers who don't want to pay for space they won't use. The Cozy Hideaway is quaint, considered, and easy to fall in love with, AC keeps it comfortable, your own kitchen and dining table mean it's fully self-contained, and your ensuite bathroom is all yours. Sit by the pool under the tall trees and you feel properly immersed in nature. Walk the main road to Bofa Beach past local life along the way, this isn't just a vacation, it's a real taste of Kilifi. Perfect for a solo traveler or couple craving a genuinely quiet escape.


A queen bed dressed and ready, sitting in a room that feels curated rather than decorated. Potted plants bring the outside in, and the marble floors keep everything cool and clean underfoot.
The living area is compact and considered — sofa, TV, everything within reach. Look out and you'll catch a glimpse of the pool and the lush greenery framing the property. A small kitchen means you can keep it simple without relying on eating out every meal.
The marble ensuite bathroom is fresh and well finished — walk-in shower, everything you need, nothing you don't.
A clothes shelf keeps things organised for longer stays. The compound is gated and secure, with pool access just steps from your door.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a professional with a strong passion for travel and cultural exploration. I have traveled US, Canada, and Mexico, as well as Europe. I aspire to explore more African countries and to continue discovering the diverse regions of Kenya.

I value rural life and simplicity, which I find essential for unwinding, reflection, and reconnecting with nature. Travel, for me, is not only about destinations but also about experiencing different ways of life and gaining deeper perspective.

Why they chose this property

I enjoy the beautiful coastal waters of the Indian Ocean, the stunning beaches, and the peaceful atmosphere of a quiet town.

What makes this property unique

Surrounded by lush greenery and tranquility, the neighborhood offers privacy without sacrificing proximity to everything.
