Property Description
The Sandbox Diani – The Sandbox Diani is a boutique block of just six 2 bedroom apartments a few steps from Diani Beach, with ocean views, a pool and a rooftop terrace. Each 1,500 sq ft apartment costs KSh 20M to 24M depending on the floor, and they are sold by Sir Francis Homes.
The Sandbox Diani is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy coastal living in one of the most beautiful natural settings in Kenya. The fine white sand and clear blue water of Diani Beach are just a few steps away, and the apartments look out over the ocean.
The compound has only six apartments, which keeps it quiet and private. Each two-bedroom apartment has about 1,500 square feet, with the master bedroom ensuite, an open-plan kitchen fitted with a four-burner cooker, a pantry and a laundry area, plus two parking spaces.
Residents can swim in the pool, jog within the grounds or on the beach, relax on the green lawns and landscaped gardens, and watch the sunset from their balcony or the rooftop terrace.

Is The Sandbox Diani a good investment?
Diani is one of Kenya’s most popular beach destinations for local and international visitors, and well-located apartments are in demand as holiday homes and short-stay rentals. A small, quiet compound close to the beach appeals strongly to holiday guests.
If you plan to let, consider management, cleaning and seasonal occupancy, and compare likely returns with long-term rental. Returns are never guaranteed.
Who it suits
The Sandbox Diani suits buyers looking for a holiday home on the coast, Kenyans in the diaspora who want a beach base, retirees, and investors targeting the short-stay holiday market. Buyers abroad can ask for a video walkthrough before travelling.
Owning a holiday home in Diani
A holiday apartment lets you enjoy the coast whenever you like and earn income from short-stay guests when you are away. Choose a reliable local manager, plan for sea-air maintenance such as repainting and metal care, and budget for seasonal changes in bookings.
