Beachfront vacation rentals in Rockaway Beach, Queens

From the moment we arrived, this place felt like a breath of fresh air. Nestled right on the water, the setting was absolutely stunning—calm, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding. Every detail inside and out was thoughtfully set up with everything we could possibly need. Whether it was enjoying morning coffee with a view, cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, or relaxing outside by the water, everything was effortless. The home was spotless, cozy, and clearly cared for with love. It provided the perfect environment to de-stress and truly relax. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway where you can disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of nature with all the comforts of home, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

We were there for a funeral. One family member came in from Hawaii, one from Washinton, and one from Califirnia. The apartment was cozy, well-appointed, and literally a block from the beach. The nearby grocery store and eateries was helpful. Would we stay there again? Absolutely.

It was cozy yet spacious. It caused an all out homemade hot chocolate w marshmallow, movie night with the whole family. We'd grab a different great breakfast sandwich 3 min away daily. Everything is just an exit or a block away. I would love to stay here again.

From check-in to check-out David was great and responsive. The accommodations were perfect for our family (4 adults). Loved the bedroom with the bed that had a remote to raise your feet and head! So comfortable! We were greeted the next day by David and his two beautiful dogs! This was supposed to be a beach vacation but it rained for the entire 4 days and nights we were there. We did enjoy the hot tub and he sent down the dogs to visit too when we asked! He made my hubby and I the most wonderful espresso we’ve ever had. He also made great suggestions for dining. We had the use of their bikes, beach umbrella and chairs (which we didn’t get to use ). Also provided big fluffy towels which were great for the hot tub. Soap was lovely both in the kitchen and bathroom (Meyer) and lovely body wash in the shower (I think it was EOS). The neighbourhood is so charming- love the uniqueness of all the homes. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach. Will definitely be back again!

Had a wonderful weekend away from the city in Long Beach. Airbnb was in a quiet area close to the beach and easy to get to the LIRR & west end. Jenna was super kind and responsive. We will be back!

Our stay was lovely. Hope to stay again!

We had a great time! 5 guys stayed over after a fishing trip and had a great time, the kitchen was well appointed and the house really had everything. The propane fire pit was a hit!

This was a new listing and we were only the second renters but the Host Dee had other great reviews from her other properties and was a Superhost after a year so we trusted it. Our overall stay was great as we were right in the heart of this beautiful beach town and property was right across the beach, walkable to all restaurants. There were some growing pains that should be resolved by the time the next renters stay but the apartment is perfect for those looking to just park their car, walk to everything, and enjoy the town. Dee met us at the place and was a very responsive and helpful host. King size beds and Oversized TVs were the highlight of this place and once the finishing decorations and mirrors are added this will be a lovely place. Parking would be the only thing that one must discuss with the host.

Mae was so generous and welcoming! Place was clean 10/10 would come again

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home near New York City. Comfortably furnished and pleasantly decorated, with a well furnished kitchen and there were even games for the kids. The host was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the harbor filled with sailboats from the park next door and my kids loved the playground too!

Good price and clean area

The surroundings were perfect and relaxing.

nice and clean

John was a great host. His place was very clean and had great amenities. John is very responsive, helpful, and kind. He was a great host and we really enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to stay in New Rochelle or somewhere nearby - we were in town due to a wedding so it was a great location. We made trips to manhattan as well - getting to the train station was quick and easy via uber and there are walkable spots like an Irish pub or deli nearby.

Thank you so much for taking us in last minute👍

This place is ok if your on a budget. The area is worth a million dollars but the motel was a motel. Although the staff and other people were very friendly. It felt very very safe there. Lots of kids for my kids to play with and a pool. Id coke back for the beach.

The loft was absolutely great, cozy quiet, beachy. Very well decorated and also thoughtfully set up for convenience and your needs. Also a very well constructed residence, you can tell care was taken when it was built. Comfortable beds and lovely furniture. Having coffee every morning on the private terrace was fantastic. The owners were terrific and honestly we didn't even know they were there. This rental is a can't miss.

We were on LI to visit family. Darren’s place was perfect for our needs. I enjoyed heading out in AM for a walk in the adjacent park/ waterfront. Plenty of restaurants/ cafes within walking distance from Darren’s place if dining out is preferable to cooking for yourself. As the stairs are steep and narrow( clearly mentioned on his site, it is an old Victorian home), suggest bringing smaller bags/ suitcases which we did and had no issues. We will definitely stay again next time we visit!

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.

We loved our stay at Anthony's place in Long Beach. The house had everything we needed: comfy bed, clean sheets, smart tvs, wifi, stocked kitchen, plus a really cool vibe. It's so close to restaurants and the boardwalk, and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. Anthony was also very friendly, provided plenty of recommendations for things to do nearby, and communication with him was easy overall. We wish we could've stayed longer, and highly recommend Anthony's place.

Catherine's place was INCREDIBLE. We stayed for two nights, the space was immaculately clean when we arrived. Catherine was very responsive to any questions we had (which weren't many because she had us very well prepared with her great communication. Beach right across the road, ferry to the city a few blocks down. Such a peaceful spot - couldn't recommend more!

We loved our stay at Mischele’s. It was perfect for our little family. A cute and comfortable little coastal apartment and jumping off point for visits to NYC on the ferry. Most importantly we felt like we were staying at a place owned by a friend. Thanks Mischele!

Me and my now wife couldn’t have had a better place to stay for our wedding weekend. Had a great time, place was clean and conveniently in the best location. Thank you!

Loved the experience. Pristine host. I am originally from the area...I felt like I never left..love the experience.
