Family-friendly holiday rentals in Roosevelt Island

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.

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.

Staying at Mr. Prakash’s place felt like being at home — or even better, like visiting a beloved relative. From the moment we arrived, Mr. Prakash welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt comfortable and cared for. The home was spotless, beautifully arranged, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Mr. Prakash went above and beyond in every way — always available, incredibly thoughtful, and genuinely hospitable. This wasn’t just a stay; it was a heartfelt experience that we’ll always remember. We are so grateful and would return without hesitation. Highly, recommend!

Victoria's place was wonderful! It was spacious and comfortable and gave our family plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our visit. Victoria was a very responsive host and made check in and check out stress free and easy! There was ample parking for our cars and the house was private - it was the "house behind the house" so we weren't subject to busy traffic noise on the street. (Got a little confusing for DoorDash drivers but we worked it out :D). I will book this same place next time I am up for an extended weekend with the family. Highly recommend!

The house was everything it advertised, and Anca was a wonderful host, she was helpful and responsive. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked, best stocked kitchen I’ve ever experienced in an AirBnB! The appliances worked perfectly, the bedrooms were comfy, and the bathrooms clean and nicely finished. Lastly, Anca’s house had some of the nicest touches I’ve experienced, like cell phone charging cords in many rooms!

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!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10) Review: The house was amazing, especially the pool, sauna, and steam room. A truly exceptional experience in every detail. Thank you, Ms. Lise, for your warm hospitality!

Beautiful space both inside and outside. Location connected to the animal farm and bakery was so charming. Location was perfect for the family reunion nearby. Easy parking. Clear communication made the stay seamless.

We had a terrific experience with Robert's apartment. The hosts were flexible, informative, and responsive. The unit was extremely clean and well appointed with little touches that we appreciated. It is in a quiet part of downtown with walkable access to the waterfront, good coffee, and excellent restaurants. If you have a reason to be in the Yonkers region I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Jennifer’s place is very clean and comfortable. Great location—the LIRR, restaurants, supermarket, beach, and library are all walkable from the AirBNB. Jennifer is a very thoughtful host. I loved that the bedding and towels were fragrance-free. She also lent her beach towels, chairs and umbrella (and beach passes when needed)—such a wonderful perk!

Robert and Francois were very responsive to my messages. My parents had a great time spending time at their place. Thank you so much.

Vanessa was responsive and kind. Jersey City has a nice laid-back vibe and is super close via train to New York City. This is a great place, clean and modern, and located very near the center of town. Plenty of windows and natural light with blinds for privacy, although some of them were perhaps not operating perfectly. It’s a three floor walk up so maybe not great for anyone with mobility issues, but we enjoyed the extra exercise. It’s a residential neighborhood, but as a light sleeper, I always travel with earplugs, and I definitely needed to use them here just for vehicle traffic and the occasional loud passer by. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The bed is quite comfortable, but more of a double than a queen, not atypical for urban areas. I am really used to that when it comes to Airbnb stays. If you feel too cramped, you can always send your partner out to the comfortable couch. Check out the Archer, Ani Ramen and Wurstbar.

As described, a charming, comfortable home on a beautiful property in a convenient yet peaceful very "New Englandy" neighborhood The house is a great place to spend time arfeceive friends, really well appointed from kitchen gear to a playroom that is made for toddlers, very comfortable sitting areas with lots of light and the bedrooms that are all quite comfortable and give all a nice level of privacy. Deirdre was a top notch host, always responsive and accommodating. No hesitations in recommending her house - probably our best Airbnb experience to date. Hope it will be available for our next visit to the Stamford area.

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!

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.

Mac allowed us to check in early, which was a huge help as we traveled with our 93-year-old dad. Upon arrival, the check-in instructions were clear and accurate. The house was clean and actually looked even better than the pictures. The pool was very nice, and my brother swam every day we were there. It was great to have a full kitchen stocked with a plethora of cutlery, plates, cups, pots, and pans. We had a small issue with the tv as it stopped working. Mac was on it immediately, and the tv came back on within 30 minutes or so. Although it was buffering when we first arrived, whatever Mac had his ISP do to the modem/router, the tv and internet worked seamlessly afterward. Overall, it was a great stay, and we would stay here again. We were very pleased with the home! Thank you, Mac and Shama for being such gracious hosts!

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.

Another peaceful stay at this property. This Airbnb has everything. Definitely a home away from home. Did I mention there’s a pool to cool off in the summer! Nature and everything you will need. Just walk with yourself and clothing. Erica

We were very pleased with the accommodations! We will definitely come back and stay here again.

Enjoyed my stay, very clean , friendly &attentive staff. Safe area.

We had a wonderful stay at Nir’s home. It was very clean and welcoming. The pool was just lovely and much needed on some very warm days. Especially after working hard all day! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need to cook gourmet meals! Nice large subzero refrigerator as well. Very spacious home and well designed for private areas. Air conditioning was fabulous as was hot water in the many bathrooms. Lots of towels for bath and pool .Beds we’re comfortable which was amazing. Close to parkways, grocery and gym. We felt very much at hime. Nir is an outstanding kind host and communicates very well if there is an issue. We hope to stay again in the future! I highly recommend Nir’s home!!!

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.
