2 bedroom apartment in The Cove II

There is something about waking up next to water that just makes things feel calmer. That's what hit me the first time I stepped into this two bedroom apartment at The Cove II in Dubai Creek Harbour. It is pretty spacious at almost one thousand four hundred square feet. Not the echoey kind of space, but more the sort where there's room for your favourite chair you always end up in after work. The light here is different too. Standing by the big windows you can see the canal outside stretching all the way across your view before the city starts to rise up again in the background. Even the Burj Khalifa pops up on the horizon, as if just to remind you where you are.

Some days the city feels busy but from here you mostly hear birds in the morning and the soft hum of water below. Honestly, if you open those floor to ceiling windows just a bit on a weekend, the breeze rolls in and you almost forget your phone for a second. Cooking actually feels easy here. The kitchen is set up so you can look out over the living room and the water at the same time. It is not fancy for the sake of being fancy. It just feels like a space you'd actually use, whether you are making coffee before work or throwing together a late dinner after meeting friends. If you are someone who likes having people over, even just a couple friends or some family, there's enough space without feeling like you're crammed together. The living area is open and kind of friendly feeling, not stiff or showy at all.

You'll also notice The Cove II is tucked right along the Dubai Creek Harbour's waterfront, which means everything feels more relaxed but you're still close to all the Dubai things you might need. The marina is almost at your doorstep. I stood out there for a bit and watched the boats for longer than I meant to, to be honest. If you like quiet evenings you can just wander down the promenade and watch the city lights stretch out across the canal. It is pretty lively in the evenings with people walking, bicycles here and there, even a few kids yelling after each other. But if you want a big night out or some fancy food, Dubai Creek Harbour always has those tucked just a few minutes away.

What is actually quite rare about this apartment is how each room gets a slice of that view. The master bedroom especially, you wake up and get sky and water before you even make it to the kitchen. Even the second bedroom – which you could use as an office, or a space for guests, or for kids – feels private but open. The bathrooms do the job without trying to impress anyone, which sometimes is just right. There's storage, proper wardrobe space, and honestly, it just feels easy. The Cove is new but it isn't trying too hard. It feels like a real place to live, not just a show home.

Of course there are the bits of luxury too, like a swimming pool that actually gets sun most of the day, a proper gym that does not feel like an afterthought, and security so you actually relax when you get home. Coffee shops are not far. You can take your morning run by the creek if that is your thing, or just stroll with a takeaway and enjoy the smell of the water. Neighbours nod at you. It is that kind of place.

The only real way to know if this two bedroom apartment at The Cove II feels right for you is to see it for yourself.

We try to make the whole process feel as comfortable as your next home should.
