Waterfront vacation rentals in Downtown Jersey City

Elsie’s apartment is simply amazing! Very well located, well equipped, calm neighborhood. The bus stop is just 50 meters away and in 15 minutes you are at the center of Manhattan! Great communication, we got all the responses immediately. Lovely welcome with vine and flowers. In few words, we spent wonderful 10 days there! Thank you, Elsie!

Cute place, well located. Nice views, spacious. Will stay there again. Hoboken forever!

Alan is really helpful and communicative and he wants to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The apartment itself is gorgeous and spacious. I enjoyed my stay!

Wonderful place, with stunning views of the manhattan skyline. Away from the noise and crowds, yet it is very easy (and cheap) to get to midtown with the buses that run frequently. I was visiting NYC with my elderly parents, and they were very comfortable (as were my wife and myself). Highly recommended!

Great spot with an amazing view, plus parks, spas, and a nice plaza close by. Overall, a great stay! The host was super responsive and always tried to help. The only hiccup was that it was freezing the first couple of days, but things warmed up eventually—mostly thanks to the weather. BUT if you’re driving, never block the downstairs garage, even for a quick drop-off. The neighbor downstairs is not friendly and actually threatened to call the cops when I was just dropping off food for my mom. There was literally nowhere else to park, so I left a quick note, but still—no luck. To avoid the hassle, get a visitor pass—the process is super easy, just five blocks away. And make sure to come back earlier than 10 pm, that way you can find some street parking.

Valerie was a great host! We enjoyed our stay and all the extra little bonus goodies that Valerie provided!

First and foremost, Michaela is one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve encountered on this app. She elevated our experience with constant communication, flexibility, and timeliness with meeting us (we arrived at the airport at 5am and she met us at the Airbnb by the time we arrived at 6am!). Plus, I locked myself out and she bent over backwards to get a spare key to let me in. She’s amazing. The place itself is in a great location with beautiful views. As others have mentioned, people live there, so you’ll find the dressers and closets full of clothes. So you’ll need to live out of your suitcase. Overall, great experience.

We had a great stay at Emma’s place, location is great with buses every 10min to New York , neighbourhood is quiet and pleasant.

So glad we stayed at John's beachfront home. We wanted a way to escape the noise and chaos of a large city and this was the perfect fit. Granted the commute is longer, but we couldn't get enough of the amazing ferry ride from Rockaway to Manhattan/Wall Street. Such a great way to explore NYC.

Wonderful house in a lively though quiet neighbourhood. Wonderful Manhattan skyline views from the riverside promenade (a few step away from the house). The house Itself is clean, modern and fully equipped. Comfortably accommodates 8. Our kids were delighed to find some toys from the landlord’s daughters. The house is fully furnished and also ideal for families whishing to enjoy a home away from home. Many restaurants in a walking distance for those who prefer to explore food from different cultures. Benjamin is very kind and prompt to respond to any requests. I would definitely suggest this solution as a base to explore the big apple avoiding the bugs!!!

The apartment met all expectations. I felt very comfortable. The bed was insanely comfortable so I could sleep very well. Of course, the way to Manhattan from Rockaway Beach is not the shortest, but I knew that in advance. Within 75 minutes I was "in the middle" of whether I went by train or boat. Supermarket and the recommended "restaurant" are also within walking distance (5 minutes). Even as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe in the area. The fact that you were on the beach within a few minutes' walk in the most beautiful weather was rounded off.

Absolutely loved our stay at this stunning Airbnb with a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline! Yojaira’s place was beautiful, spacious, and spotless. Most importantly very close to NYC. Parking was a bit challenging as the street parking was always full. We found a parking spot on the street that was a few minutes of walking distance at only $4/day. We didn't move the car the entire weekend as we did not want to deal with find another parking spot. We used Uber and had no trouble getting around. We were very comfortable in her place with my wife and two adult children. Both kids had their own bedroom, which was very convenient. The location was ideal as well—close to everything with public transportation just a short walk away. Yojaira was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything that we needed during our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay close to NYC, and we’ll definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

Decent functional setting. Responsive host. Gateway location.

Nice, comfortable, family home that came as described. Was perfect for our family of 4. Would recommend and return on future travels.

Our family of 5 stayed here comfortably. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Having a dedicated parking was a huge plus. Looking forward to future stays.

This was a wonderful place to stay with my family. It’s only 20 minutes from the ferry if you’re planning to go to New York. The location is surrounded by all the stores you could possibly need. The yard is enormous, which was a pleasant surprise. Although it’s too cold to go swimming, the beach is within walking distance.

Lovely place 💗 great host!

The condo is spectacular and the host was very gracious and helpful! Note: there are alot of stairs to climb. We were unaware of this prior to checking in and my mother was unable to make it up the stairs due to her recent hip surgery. So please note there are stairs and it's not handicapped accessible. Otherwise great stay! Thanks!

Hector and Clarissa were very caring and keen to make sure that we had a great stay. Highly recommended,

I loved staying here , very clean and all needs were met. Great communication and very thorough instructions. No questions needed to be asked! Will book again! Thank you.

Super clean, convenient and beautiful. The hosts were very helpful and quick when responding to our messages. Would stay here again!

The apartment is located in a perfect location, close to the Hudson River with amazing views across to the manhattan skyline. Transport links were great too - we were able to get across to manhattan for all the sightseeing trips we had booked quickly and smoothly. AJ was an excellent host. Very quick to respond and so helpful with our enquiries. All his responses and instructions were very clear. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The space was stylish and cozy, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful local tips and making sure I felt right at home. The neighborhood was peaceful, safe, and conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and public transportation. Neighborhood is HORRIBLE for parking This place truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb experience. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Great location to get to New York. The place is spacious and comfortable, and our host was very nice and responsive throughout the stay.
