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.

I can’t praise Anthony’s home enough. This was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed! The house was immaculate and well-stocked. It was so cozy and we felt right at home. The backyard is so cool to have right in the middle of the city - our dog loved it. The location is incredible - so many great restaurants to walk to but also very quiet and peaceful. It’s very close to two subway stations and parking was usually very easy to find. Anthony was also so friendly and accommodating - it’s clear he cares very much about the guest experience. We can’t wait to stay here 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!

This was our second time staying at this home, and just like the first time, everything was perfect. The place is exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It suits my family, who visit me every year from abroad, perfectly. The location is convenient, the neighborhood is quiet, and the hosts are absolutely lovely—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. We truly feel at home here and will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

Had a great time. MaL was super friendly and helpful. Would def stay again.

I just wanna make it clear to anyone that left a bad review because their significant other didn’t show up or stay the night after you bought them a chef and didn’t get a full refund after using the place for a full night. Your blasphemy. It’s a perfect place and Roma is an angel. It was a 10 out of 10 spotless and fully working place to be at and im glad I went had two of the best nights of my life. Loved it 😌

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!

I had a great time at Jennifer's place! Short walk to the beautiful beach or to town with lots of restaurants, delis and a brewery nearby. There are a few coffee shops nearby, a Starbucks on the corner, a grocery store two blocks away and the train station right nearby. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time sitting on the patio. There was ample space as well! I enjoyed my time very much. Thank you Jennifer!

nice place very convenient to get to the city

My trip was focused around Digital Nomading by day and Broadway shows at night. This place worked out great for me. Quiet, private, great Wi-Fi, a 7-Eleven close by for beverages/snacks. I took the host's suggestion to Uber over to the PATH station and take that train/subway to the 33rd street exit in NYC. From there you can connect to NYC subways and be in the Times Square/Broadway area in just 1 or 2 stops. I felt safe doing this even as a middle-aged solo woman. I will say the whole route took quite some time (over an hour), yet I saved more than $1k for the week using this AirBNB compared to hotels on Broadway. It was all an adventure I enjoyed and would do again. The hosts live upstairs, but they respected my privacy and I did not see them at all. Plus you get a separate entrance for this unit. Ideal set up. Thank you!

this home makes you feel right at home. plenty of room. great location. great host , very courteous. best place to stay if visiting long island. very safe neighborhood, short walking distance to shops, beach and LIRR station

Very responsive and accommodating host, spacious floor plan, beautiful and convenient area. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Great location near the city with a dedicated parking space, restaurants in walking distance. Apartment is very nice and clean. Denia is a great/responsive host.

The house was absolutely beautiful well cap very clean and organize. I rented this place for Christmas so there was ample items that we found usable to make a beautiful Christmas table presentation. I would highly recommend this place again. Thank you Martha for your hospitality.

David's Airbnb is the best place to stay at if you're looking for quiet and safe location to rest in. In my case the perfect place to get work done without any distractions and get some much needed rest. The place was filled with all the necessary essentials, from clean dishware and towels/toiletries and even extra food to use. David, the host himself, was also incredibly helpful throughout the Airbnb stay; consistently responsive. Checks in on you to make sure if you're ok and to answer any questions you may have. Finally the best thing about this host is that while I did not know what to do around the neighborhood; David was kind enough to provide a binder full of information regarding restaurants, things to do, and details about the Airbnb itself. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb for the homely aesthetic, peaceful neighborhood, and access to variety things to do. I most definitely look forward to reserving this Airbnb again in the future.

Friendly staff. Nice options for the daily food trucks. Gym was better than expected/ better than the usual hotel or apartment gym. Enjoyed using the cafe’s coffee and hot chocolate machine. The room was spacious, as well as the bathroom and bedroom and closet.

Our home away from home when visiting West Orange. Beautiful surroundings, always clean, comfortable and well supplied. Look forward to our return!

I had an exceptional stay at this Airbnb! The unit was impeccably clean, and located in a very safe neighborhood. It’s conveniently close to New York and Manhattan, with easy access within 25 minutes. Plus, there are lots of convenient stores around. The host was incredibly responsive, addressing any minor issues promptly. I highly recommend this unit to anyone visiting the area

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!

Great location and super nice owner. Very welcoming and helpful.

Delighted we picked Martha’s place for our stay in Queens. The place is exactly as described. Clean, comfy, and in a good location for exploring the city. Would def stay again if visiting NYC.
