Private guest unit on beachfront house
Great, clean space at a great location. Having on-site parking was very helpful. Nice ocean views from multiple rooms.

Amazing one bdrm flat at the beach!
Jeanette is a wonderful host. She met us on our arrival and gave us a tour of our rental ensuring that she answered any questions. She is very responsive and quick to answer any follow up. questions or concerns. The space is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The location is great, across the street from Long Island Sound and bordering a large nature preserve. All this and easy access to shops, groceries, and restaurants. We highly recommend this rental.

Charming Brownstone Retreat Minutes from NYC
Vlad was a great host. He was majorly responsive. initially we had a problem with the TV. Problem was addressed and resolved immediately. The apartment was great. Place was emaculate! Definitely worth staying.

Hudson River Peaceful Getaway, Explore from here
Stunning place in amazing location on the water. The property is beautifully presented and super comfortable. I literally cannot fault any aspect of the package and I would love to come back someday

Modern 3 Bed 2 Bath Home With Parking | 2 min LGA
This was my family's first time in New York, along with the two friends who traveled with me. Staying in Prince's property felt like being at home. From the start of the booking process and through departure, Prince was always available to answer questions and made me feel at ease that the location we were staying in was safe, clean, and family-friendly. The amenities in this home made it so that we could save money cooking some of our meals in the beautiful and well-equipped and well-stocked kitchen. The house is TWO MINUTES from La Guardia, but the home has double-paned windows so you won't hear airplanes flying overhead. I will definitely stay here again with my family the next time I'm in Queens!

Elegant Riverfront Getaway with Beautiful Views
What a peaceful, gorgeous place for a little self-care retreat! Val was a very gracious, welcoming host, and the space itself is gorgeous. The view of the Hudson River from the deck is stunning, and the spa tub and spacious shower are luxurious. Hope to come back again and again!

New York City Vacation Rental
The place is beautiful specially for night city view . Quite place . House is very clean everything and host is very friendly and respectful and responsible. I recommend it’s best for summer because you can enjoy river view on board and fresh air . Winters it’s very cold for close to river for air . We had fun and we enjoyed. Pretty quiet place. Lovely . Thanks

Beachfront, Historic, Woodwork, Amusement Park
This place is awesome for what it is - a large home that can accommodate many people with a ton of space. It also doesn't have the Airbnb special room of 4+ beds that sleeps 8 to pump up the amount that can sleep there. This listing is straightforward. The keyless entry is awesome, everything in the house works, and there is plenty of parking and amenities. It is older and dated, however, and lacks a few finish details but for what it is, this house is very, very worth it. Each room was separated enough to have privacy, the kitchen was functional, and the dining room, living room, and entry/sunroom all offered enough room for everybody in our party to feel comfortable. I would stay here again, especially with a large group. We were 7 adults and 6 children (all under 8) and this was 1000% better than a hotel or other living arrangement. Thank you Ashley! You were a great host!

Midcentury Modern ZenHouse Sculptor Studio
I stayed here for a weekend and I wished I would have stayed longer. Perfect spot for a getaway and relaxation. Olga was a really caring and warm host, super attentive at all time, always saved some food for us when she cooked. The house was clean, organized, with natural lighting everywhere surrounded by a beautiful garden and a river with ducks and a swan. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to relax, have a weekend to themselves and enjoy nature.

New Renovated vacation house
Great place to stay with the family I strongly recommend .

Cheerful 3 bedroom home with beautiful River view
Adel provided us with a fantastic home to stay in while we were visiting family. The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pricing was reasonable considering the area we were in and the amount of time we ended up staying (4 days, 3 nights). The scenery in the backyard with the river was also a great touch. Would definitely consider choosing his home again and would recommend to others as well!

Historic Canal Home on Nature Preserve
Absolutely stunning place to stay. Can’t wait to go back when the garden is growing!

Jersey beachhouse for family & big group gathering
David was a phenomenal host! His hospitality was great and his accommodations for my guests were exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend David to anyone looking for the beach front oasis.

Private bed with views of NYC
Estefany’s home is beautiful with an epic Hudson & Manhatten overlook. We were greeted at the door with a warm welcome, a quick tour, and a pristinly clean space. The best part was the NJ transit stop was right outside the door that went directly to Time Square. I'd stay here again and again.

CONDO LIKE NO OTHER |SAUNA|OCEAN VIEW | POOL TABLE
The condo is spectacular and the host was very gracious and helpful! Note: there are alot of stairs to climb. We were unaware of this prior to checking in and my mother was unable to make it up the stairs due to her recent hip surgery. So please note there are stairs and it's not handicapped accessible. Otherwise great stay! Thanks!

City style apartment, Beach Passes Included
If you are looking to explore New York for a few days or longer then Jay's place is great. Just a few minutes from the Long Beach station, Penn or Grand Central are about an hour away on a direct LIRR train. You will save $$$ by staying here compared with Manhattan. Long Beach is a safe, full of interesting shops. The 10km boardwalk is just a few minutes away. The apartment of character in a listed building full of charm. Loved the well stocked kitchen and would not hesitate to come back again.

The CozyQ | 5 Min to City | Entire Private Floor!
We had a great time at Hector’s apartment. The apartment itself is lovely and comfortable with quick access to all the sights you would like to see in NYC. Hector was a great host. We arrived very late but he was very accommodating and quick responding. Everything was there and we felt very welcome. Thank you, we really enjoyed our time visiting!

Cozy Stylish retreat - NYC & NWK w/free parking
Great host. Very responsive and was able to work out an early check in with me. Beautiful view of the city and very peaceful area. Definitely recommend!

City stay in Hoboken - spacious
I had a fantastic stay at this Hoboken apartment! The location couldn’t be better—situated in a beautiful, safe area just a short walk from the waterfront boardwalk and an excellent selection of restaurants and cafes. The apartment itself was spotless, spacious, and exactly as described in the listing. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. What truly stood out, though, was the host’s hospitality. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again—it was a perfect home base for my time in the area!

Fantastic stay for 4 – Heart of Hoboken!
The apartment is located in a perfect location, close to the Hudson River with amazing views across to the manhattan skyline. Transport links were great too - we were able to get across to manhattan for all the sightseeing trips we had booked quickly and smoothly. AJ was an excellent host. Very quick to respond and so helpful with our enquiries. All his responses and instructions were very clear. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

The space was stylish and cozy, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful local tips and making sure I felt right at home.
