A Three-Bedroom Stay at Creekside 18

The apartment on the booking page is an entire three-bedroom home of 150.55 square metres, with three bathrooms and five beds, and it sleeps up to eight guests.

The listing also describes the layout as a 3.5-bedroom, with three bedrooms plus a half room, two private balconies and waterfront views. It is written for families and groups.

The listing describes a master with two single beds, a 55-inch TV and an en-suite, two further bedrooms with a queen bed each, and a sofa bed for two more guests.

Check-in is self check-in from 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00. The listing asks every guest for a valid international passport before arrival, so the building can be told who is coming. How self check-in works for Airbnb guests walks through the steps.

Guests in that apartment get:

• Kitchen: a fitted kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, washer and dryer, and cooking basics.
• Outdoor space: two private balconies, with water and city views on the amenity list.
• Work: a laptop-friendly workspace, air conditioning, smart TVs and Wi-Fi at 500+ Mbps.
• Families: a children’s playroom with a play kitchen, plus a high chair, travel cot and baby bath, according to the listing, and cribs or high chairs on request.
• Parking: free parking, including a garage space listed among the amenities.

Homevy Tip: For a group of eight, agree who uses the sofa bed before you arrive, and pack one extra set of plans for mornings, because three bathrooms help only if the group already knows the layout.

Short Stays Management in Creekside 18 for Property Owners

This section is for property owners, including Homevy owners, with a home in Creekside 18.

A Creekside 18 apartment needs a DET holiday home permit before short stays. Operating without one can bring fines of up to AED 100,000. Our guide to the DTCM holiday home permit in Dubai covers the documents and when to renew.

The fee is a flat 20%, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross, with no onboarding fee. See our short-stay management fees.

In August 2026, Entrepreneur Middle East reported that Homevy’s average occupancy across its portfolio is around 91.1%.

A three-bedroom on Creek Island competes on views, balcony space and how well it sleeps a group. Estimate what your property could earn before you choose between a yearly tenant and short stays, and compare short stays against a yearly lease for your own unit.

Homevy Tip: For a Creekside 18 three-bedroom, open the listing with the waterfront balcony view in daylight, then show the third bathroom and the extra sleeping space.

An in-house, KHDA-certified design team can also handle interior design and furnishing for holiday homes.
