Waterfront vacation rentals in Roosevelt Island

Elsie’s apartment is simply amazing! Very well located, well equipped, calm neighborhood. The bus stop is just 50 meters away and in 15 minutes you are at the center of Manhattan! Great communication, we got all the responses immediately. Lovely welcome with vine and flowers. In few words, we spent wonderful 10 days there! Thank you, Elsie!

My second time staying here, it was great as before. The special touch on top of the beautiful place, is how kind and helpful Alan is. Definitely recommend this stay to other guests!

Wonderful place, with stunning views of the manhattan skyline. Away from the noise and crowds, yet it is very easy (and cheap) to get to midtown with the buses that run frequently. I was visiting NYC with my elderly parents, and they were very comfortable (as were my wife and myself). Highly recommended!

Valerie was a great host! We enjoyed our stay and all the extra little bonus goodies that Valerie provided!

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.

I Wonderful place, great for couples, I will come back many times,

Jamie was so helpful and nice! Wish we could have stayed longer as this Airbnb was super cozy perfect spot right outside the city. It was freshly clean and stocked with towels and essentials. There is construction going on outside of the property but they were very courteous and gave us space to check in and check out. Definitely recommend this property for NYC travel!

Prince was a great host. This location was easy to get on a free bus at Terminal C and get to the subway. House was nice and comfortable for my family. Thanks again.

So glad we stayed at John's beachfront home. We wanted a way to escape the noise and chaos of a large city and this was the perfect fit. Granted the commute is longer, but we couldn't get enough of the amazing ferry ride from Rockaway to Manhattan/Wall Street. Such a great way to explore NYC.

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

Great location with free parking lot.

The place was exactly as described—spacious, with plenty of beds to accommodate our group. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and gathering around the island. There were ample utensils and cleaning supplies, which was a plus. The bed mattress on the first-floor was comfortable, but the ones on the Queen beds were not. However, that didn’t affect our stay.

Ready for an escape? Look no further! Dan’s place is a walk through history in a beautiful, scenic mix of beach and wilderness. I am a local and booked this stay over the week between Christmas and new years as a respite while we renovated our new home about 30 minutes away. Dan’s place is amazing, the scenery is surreal. The sunrise and sunsets are a do not miss. The lighthouse is your backyard and the bay with afternoon seal sightings are your front. 5 minute walk to the pub, easy access to all trails for bike riding and walking. Our kids and dogs had a blast. Lots of deer, foxes, birds. Truly felt like we were worlds away but only 30 minutes from our doorstep. Can only imagine the summertime here, but we soaked it up in the winter too. The house has preserved historic charm with modern updates, everything you need. We will be back!

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!

Michelle’s place was absolutely adorable! I really felt relaxed and comfortable. I slept well in the bed. The amenities in the kitchen were perfect for a short stay and the lake was lovely.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. 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. The neighborhood was peaceful, safe, and conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and public transportation. Neighborhood is HORRIBLE for parking This place truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb experience. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Great hospitality and communication was excellent. View of the water and lots of space. Could also park right out front, vet accommodating and friendly.
