Family-friendly vacation rentals in Essex County

Mal is an awesome host. Very responsive and willing to adapt to everything that we needed. He even let us check in early and out late if we needed it. Gave us great recommendations on where to go shopping and fishing.

Og provided us with seamless instructions. Parking is a little tricky but that’s anywhere near NYC. If you’re looking to impress someone this apartment has the right views and right vibes to set the right tone and mood. The view of Manhattan is breathe taking and it’s right out your front door. Also extremely affordable considering the Billion Dollar view. Looking forward to staying again next time I’m in the city!

Lisa’s place was fun and relaxing for our family. Great place to relax and unwind all while being close to the great areas we visited. Lisa was a great host ❤️

This home was perfect for my siblings and their kiddos to meet up for a nice long weekend. Kerry made us feel very welcomed and was super responsive when we had questions. The sunroom was one of my favorite places in the house. The kids enjoyed playing both outdoors and indoors. The neighborhood was quiet and the kitchen was stocked. Just a short drive to the mall and plenty of places to eat. We would gladly stay again.

Anthony is the best host I’ve ever had! So friendly, welcoming, and super responsive. He has clearly poured ample love and care into the space—it is immaculate, stylish, well-equipped, and truly an easy Williamsburg oasis!

Tina was awesome to work with! Very accommodating of our group at the last minute. Her place was clean and the WiFi held up with 8 of us happily posting on social media. The short walk to the waterfront offers some of the best views of New York City. I would stay again as would the rest of my group.

todo muy bien, nos respondió y oriento, esta muy cerca de un paradero de bus que te lleva a ny y si tienes carro cuenta ese mismo sitio con estacionamiento 10$ dia; la casa bastante amplia, la camas muy comodas. Recomendado

Eleonora’s place? Absolutely perfect. The location is ideal—right in the heart of Greenpoint, Brooklyn— quiet, clean, spacious, and full of charm. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The garden is a peaceful little oasis, perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. There’s so much to explore in the neighborhood, and Eleonora and Ben were the perfect hosts: friendly, responsive, and full of fantastic local recommendations. We were in town for a two-day music event, so our time was limited—but thanks to their great advice, we made the most of it. Can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!

Mike was an amazing host! My husband and I (and our dog) lived at the condo for three months while our home was being renovated. Very well appointed kitchen, bath and laundry. The bedroom was super comfortable and cozy and I slept just like I was at home. I could not recommend this apartment enough! Also very accessible to the Path or bus into NYC. Mike was also incredibly responsive. There’s a back patio that is really lovely and feels private.

The apartment was perfect for spending the day in New York visiting friends while making a hearty breakfast and a good dinner after walking hours thru Central Park and the Met. The food stores include a really good Key Foods, a fish shop, and a cheese shop, as well as farmers markets three times a week right around the corner, so if you like to cook, you’re all set. And if you want great food not at NYC prices, the dinner offerings around Grove Street are really good and diverse. Speaking of diversity, this neighbourhood is totally diverse and felt very welcoming. The apartment is comfortably outfitted, and has ample seating to rest your bones or eat your breakfast. The brick walls and artwork made it feel totally cozy after the rainy days we had this week. Our hosts were responsive throughout our trip, answering all questions we had. We really enjoyed our stay!

Brian's place was exactly as described, and a perfect home base for our family of 3. Very clean, comfortable, and in a wonderful part of Brooklyn. Felt at home -- we would stay again!

Absolutely stunning apartment with an insane view of NYC! Beautiful amenities in the apartment, was excited to come back to it after a day exploring NYC. Would stay again and recommend others to stay. Valerie was a great host, very accomodating and responsive on message.

Thanks Peter & Jess for a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and was a perfect homebase for us in Brooklyn. Thanks again!

Denia’s home felt like home. For my family and I, we couldn’t have been more comfortable. With the proximity to NYC and quietness of North Bergen, a truly beautiful experience. I would definitely book here again. Thank you for everything once again.

We had a great stay at Alison's place. We were in town for family events and the location and easy access made it very stress-free. It was clean, roomy and very well-stocked! We will definitely look to stay here in the future for other family celebrations!

This is a very nice and comfy Airbnb, we were happy to have found it. It was clean and nicely furnished, the bed was comfy and the linens and towels were very nice. The in and out access was great too. We had a couple of minor issues we mentioned to David and he was very responsive and was going to deal with them right away (I mentioned them on our last day). We didn't spend much time there, really only to sleep so I can't speak to the overall kitchen amenities but the kitchen was nice and clean (and spacious for NY!). Our daughter lives on the next block over so the location was incredibly convenient! This unit does have pretty easy access to the subway so that is a plus as well. It's very close to a nice street with lots of restaurants, grocery, shopping, laundry, etc. I only give it 3 stars for cost because it still makes it difficult to visit our grand daughter in NY when the cost per night is so expensive, but I realize, it's NY (sigh).

This place is fantastic. We needed a place while we renovate our home. The staff is fantastic, the apartments really nice and spacious. Amenities are great too. Commute is super easy to Manhattan …walk to express bus and less than 30 min. Highly recommend.

I stayed for the month of April with my dog and everything was great. The grounds are well maintained and the building has a ton of amenities including garage parking. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short term rental!

The place worked perfectly for what I had needed. Travel a lot for work, and this time my wife and son came to visit for a few days of the stay. Host was very nice and helped us with accommodations and recomendations of local eateries. Very much enjoyed our time here, would stay again.
