Waterfront vacation rentals in Upper Manhattan

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!

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!

First and foremost, Michaela is one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve encountered on this app. She elevated our experience with constant communication, flexibility, and timeliness with meeting us (we arrived at the airport at 5am and she met us at the Airbnb by the time we arrived at 6am!). Plus, I locked myself out and she bent over backwards to get a spare key to let me in. She’s amazing. The place itself is in a great location with beautiful views. As others have mentioned, people live there, so you’ll find the dressers and closets full of clothes. So you’ll need to live out of your suitcase. Overall, great experience.

Such a great stay and Vlad was so helpful! Amazing mattress too - would love to know the brand!

Bill was an amazing host. From being up late on our first night around 1am. To being responsive, attentive and extremely helpful with anything we needed. To sharing many tips on getting into the city and around. As for the place it is extremely cozy and the perfect place to stay in for a trip to NY. Has many options nearby for food or groceries. Train is a 10 min walk and 30 min ride from Manhattan. Could not praise this location more.

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.

I absolutely loved everything about this Airbnb, made me wanna change the way my own house looks like! It was very beautiful and clean.

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 apartment met all expectations. I felt very comfortable. The bed was insanely comfortable so I could sleep very well. Of course, the way to Manhattan from Rockaway Beach is not the shortest, but I knew that in advance. Within 75 minutes I was "in the middle" of whether I went by train or boat. Supermarket and the recommended "restaurant" are also within walking distance (5 minutes). Even as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe in the area. The fact that you were on the beach within a few minutes' walk in the most beautiful weather was rounded off.

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.

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!

Our stay was lovely. Hope to stay again!

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.

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!

I loved staying here , very clean and all needs were met. Great communication and very thorough instructions. No questions needed to be asked! Will book again! Thank you.

Everything just as advertised, this place is right next to a a train station. The SM team is very responsive. Just some quick constructive feedback, I do wish the bed was a bit more comfortable. But enjoyed the stay and would visit again.

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!
