Beachfront vacation rentals in Howard 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 had a wonderful weekend at this apartment. It offers everything you could need on site. The oven operates very well. Sheets and towels are supplied. Although the beach isn't large, it's quite enjoyable to sit there in the morning to observe the kite surfers or in the evening to admire the stars. Highlands is a lovely little village with scenic walks at Sandy Hook or Hartshorne Woods Park. It was easy to get in touch with Rob, who consistently responded quickly to our messages. We look forward to coming 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!

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

The house was beautiful and even nicer than the pictures. We loved the pool and the beach was right there. Tim was super responsive- especially around check in time. Would easily stay there again next time i am im the area !

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

Die Umgebung war perfekt und erholsam.

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👍

The apartment was very clean and beautiful. The check-in was simple and easy. The communication with Nakeita and Lateef was great. The view from the deck was nice, and we really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely return if we are in the area.

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.

Great location, everything as shown and prompt replies from host. Thank you for hosting us Ashley!

We loved the Sea Level! Erica provided clear instructions and even assisted us with finding parking. Very tasteful space, perfect stay for a couple. Would happily stay again!

Great stay, cute little motel on a seaside strip. Friendly and informative staff working the place.

this place was so, so cozy! from all the candles, to the amazing smelling bedding and bathroom towels. perfect location near lots of little shops, restaurants and ocean! anastasia was so quick with responding and made our weekend getaway seamless. 10/10 recommend.

I grew up on Long Island and had never been to Bayville. What a hidden gem! Private quiet road close to a few restaurants and a convenience store. The water view was lovely although the weather didn’t cooperate. Donna was helpful when I needed an iron and ironing board, which really helped myself and my husband when we needed to touch up clothes for a wedding we attended. I highly recommend her cute place!

We had a great stay! The home was exactly as described, clean, spacious, organized, and beautifully maintained. The hosts were very responsive and made the check-in process smooth and easy. The location was convenient with great restaurants nearby and plenty of amenities. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable experience!
