    Filter by area, type and budget across long-term homes and short stays.

  2. Step 2

    Request a viewing or book instantly

    Long-term homes get a scheduled viewing. Furnished stays can be booked on the spot.

  3. Step 3

    Move in or check in

    Agree terms in the app, pay securely and collect your keys.

No fake listings, no phantom viewing fees.

Every listing you see is managed by a real property owner through Makao's own management platform - vacancy is live, not a stale post from three months ago.

Browse homes
  • Real photos

    Photos are uploaded by the property owner managing the actual unit - no stock images.

  • Live availability

    A unit disappears from search the moment it's no longer vacant.

  • Honest pricing

    Rent, deposit and short-stay rates come straight from the property owner's own records.

For property owners

Own a place? List and manage it from right here.

There's no separate system to juggle - the same dashboard you use to list a vacancy also collects rent, messages tenants and tracks every unit, on the very platform renters are searching right now.

List your property
  • List once, reach renters instantly

    A vacant unit you add shows up in search the moment it's published - no separate listing site to maintain.

  • One dashboard for everything

    Rent collection, tenant messaging, maintenance and move-outs, alongside the listing itself - not a separate tool.

  • Get paid via M-Pesa or Pesapal

    Tenants pay in-app, straight to the method you set up for your business.

Your next place is a search away.
