Cozy 1-BR APT Near NYC - Sleeps 3!
Happy with our stay! The apartment was small but sufficed for 2 people. Shower pressure was abysmal but otherwise everything functioned as intended and the host's communication was great.

Private guest unit on beachfront house
Rrezarta was amazing she is warm and welcoming and very helpful. The apartment has all the stuff you need for a family and beach stuff too!

Amazing one bdrm flat at the beach!
Jeannette was there to greet us and made sure we knew where everything was and that we had everything we needed. She even provided breakfast. Her place was immaculate. The location was amazing. She made our departure very easy. We are looking forward to staying there again. If you looking for a great place to stay, this is it.

NJ Shore/Waterview/Beach Escape/Sandy Hook
Lorine was extremely helpful during my stay. We arrived to the house in beautiful condition. It was cozy and clean and the view of the water from the porch was perfect . Our stay was peaceful and the pictures did not do the house justice! The two bedrooms were much bigger than expected, the space was cozy but spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed including a binder with some tips and a menu of some places to eat nearby. I would definitely recommend Lizette and Lorine’s place for a relaxing getaway if you’re staying in Long branch, NJ, visiting Monmouth and/or hoping to be close to beaches!

Best NYC View! - Cozy 2 bed with Balcony & Patio
What a gem this place is for exploring the city while staying in a quieter location. Views were fantastic. Modern, clean interior just like in the photos. Check-in was easy and communication great. Will recommend to friends.

Seashore town - QUAINT one bedroom apartment
Carla was very gracious host. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Highlands.

Classic 3 Bed 2 Bath Home With Parking | 2 min LGA
We came in late; had no problems finding the place. Instructions clear as to how to get through the gate and into the home. Listing stated there was a sofa bed in the living room, but apparently this was not supposed to be for sleeping. We asked for sheets/blankets so it could be used, and we did receive them after the request. If you are planning to use this as an extra place for someone to sleep, you should tell the host ahead of time. This was the lower level of a two level home, and the noise from the upper level was very apparent. This could simply be in the way the home is built, but it was loud and those above us were up very late. In general, things were clean. Host responsive. The extra towels we asked for were provided. We'd suggest that the coffeemaker be replaced with a K-cup machine - the used grounds from a previous group had been there for some time, so we didn't use it. Would request this place again if we were in Queens, reasonably priced, close to airport.

3rd Floor 3-Bedroom Apt Steps NYC Access

Once a Pond - time and stress slow down.
Spacious home with a nice outside area. Enjoyed coffee with birds and bunnies. Will stay here again.

Piermont River Front
The location is perfect within Piermont; the home is very nice, and a great value.

Beautiful 3 bedroom Private Home 15 mins from NY
Wonderful stay at Joseph’s place. We felt at home. Joseph is very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to stay again there :)

Lakefront Escape:Beach Access, Firepit, Kayaks
both Laura and Scott were incredibly hospitable and welcoming to their home. my family and I felt very comfortable and it gave us an immense amount of ease knowing that we could always reach out and within minutes we'd have a response to any questions we could have come up with. the location was absolutely stunning and had breathtaking views. in all honesty, the only thing I could possibly complain about was not having had a second bathroom which is not their fault. I've dealt with a handful of hosts before but never someone as easy and inviting as Laura and Scott have been. we are already looking at our calendars to see when we can come back

Large family house on the lake
We loved staying at this beautiful, cozy, lake house. It was roomy, clean, and has an amazing view of the lake from the back balcony. We made good use of the jacuzzi and fire pit. We did have to run to the store to get shampoo and body wash as those were not included. Overall, great stay!

Luxury Waterfront Home! Magnificent Views!
As business professionals visiting the area for a nearby charity golf outing, this was our second stay at this beautiful home—and it was just as pristine as last year. The cleanliness, comfort, and attention to detail inside are exceptional, and the waterfront deck offers stunning views that make for a truly relaxing experience. We're already looking forward to returning next year. Many thanks to Ranie for sharing her little piece of paradise with us!

Captain’s Cottage Water Views -3 Bdrm
Family of five — we had a great long weekend at the house. Nice water view, easy walking distance to deli and restaurants. House is well appointed and cared for, anything you need for cooking, etc. Basement game room is a nice plus.

Riverfront Cottage Retreat & Pool 35 mins from NYC
A truly Great stay in Greenwich with David, we really enjoyed our stay in the house, such an awesome place and quiet location (next to a beautiful river!) too, which we loved. The pool was a massive bonus for sure! Comms with David were great, he was very quick to respond at all times on any queries we had, much appreciated indeed. Many thanks again, Rich

Private bed with views of NYC
I had such a relaxing and joyful night at Estefany's place! The location is incredibly convenient—just steps from the bus stop, and as soon as you get off, you’re greeted by the most breathtaking view. It immediately lifts your spirits, and the best part is, you can enjoy that same view right from inside the room! This is truly a top-notch stay. Estefany and Athiaperez are both so kind and welcoming, and I already miss Rio! 🐶 I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting New York. Also, if you’re into morning runs, this is a perfect spot. Waking up and running with such a stunning view is an experience you shouldn’t miss. I’d absolutely love to stay here again the next time I’m in New York. The place is clean, comfortable, and very safe. Highly, highly recommended! ✨✨

City style apartment, Beach Passes Included
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.

Courtyard Overlook @ Spa Owners Residential Condo
Great stay! Joe was very responsive and it was a very easy check in and check out process. The space is just as described in photos and was the perfect room for a wedding at the hotel. Would stay again!

Fantastic stay for 6 – Heart of Hoboken!
The apartment was exactly as described and the area was so leafy and peaceful. AJ gave really clear instructions how to access and it was really easy to find. The beds were so comfortable and the whole place was really clean with every amenity. There was even a kettle, which was great for tea lovers 😊

New Beautiful Condo In Bayonne near NYC
Very well decorated and clean. Would stay again.

Historical Brownstone Penthouse Condo
Everything as described. Good neighborhood. Very easy and fast to go with busses through the Lincoln tunnel to NYC (worked great even while a strike when we were there). And it's really perfect to look at the Empire State Building in the evening. What you also should know: There are 2 steep stairs to the 3rd floor, so this is not a good choice for elderly people with big bags. For all others great!

NYC Riverfront Elegant White Marble Sanctuary
Gorgeous location, great transport right on the doorstep and a lovely spot to take in the NYC skyline. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you
