Private guest unit on beachfront house
The place was just perfect for a short get-away from the city. Walkable to the beach. You can even see the ocean. Walkable to a good coffee shop, and restaurants. The kitchen has basics, so we could make breakfast. The family upstairs is definitely loud, and I don't think there's much insolation, because you can see the washing machine running, and people showering. Also when it's windy the whole house squeaks. But a couple of earplugs solved that, and the proximity to the beach more than makes up for it. The hosts are also very friendly and responsive!

Moose River cottage on the water in Old Forge
Had an amazing stay! Will definitly be staying with sandra in the future! Thank you so much!

Lakefront location on Oneida Lake
There isn’t enough space to share all the great things about this place. Remarkably clean, modern amenities, comfortable furniture, and on and on. The hosts are friendly and easy to get ahold of if needed. This is our second stay and it’s was just as beautiful as it was 3 years ago. It’s definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The added bonus is the beautiful lake with easy access for seasonal enjoyment.

New, quaint 1 bedroom in downtown Plattsburgh
Highly recommend! Location was perfect walking distance to downtown Plattsburgh. Very clean space, just as advertised, and great communication. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Waterfront Gem: 1BR w/Private Balcony & Serenity
Fantastic experience! Kelly was very clear with instructions, check-in was an absolute breeze. Upon arrival we found the space exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything you could ever wish for. The bed was extremely comfortable and the views along the river did not disappoint. Also loved being able to have a campfire after a long day of hiking. Great place :)

Riverside at Alexandria Bay (B)
This was a beautiful and peaceful stay. Right on the water with a sandy swimming area and dock. Absolutely gorgeous. Severin and his wife made us feel right at home, supplying us with firewood to use at their fire pit and water bottles upon arrival. This comfortable studio was very clean and cozy, perfect for a relaxing weekend. Private, free parking available!

Cozy 1 bedroom apartment in the Rondout Kingston
Really clean and comfortable place

Special Nest w Private Entrance River View Porches
Sarah’s place is very spacious! The neighborhood was very quiet (I was there on a weekend) especially compared to the experience of my friends who stayed in the middle of Newburgh. It was the perfect space to wind down in at the end of the day. The house does make noise but Sarah is upfront about that and I didn’t think it was that bad! I also enjoyed the tech free space, that was a feature for me.

West Side Lakefront Beach House
Rick & Kim’s place was absolutely incredible!! My boyfriend proposed to me on our trip and Rick & Kim’s response was overwhelming in the best way!! Cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our stay that much more special. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Cape Vincent 1000 Islands Retreat- St Lawrence Rvr
We had a great stay. Host met us at the door and showed us around. We two adults, two kids, and a dog and we had room to spare. Kitchen was very well equipped, easy street parking right in front, and though no washer the laundromat was right across the street. Easy walk to cute downtown and the river too. Michael was very communicative and made sure we had a great time. For sure would stay again.

Camp Run Lake House
Amazing lake side property, the lake is literally 10 steps away from the yard. House is spacious, well maintained, definitely would love to go back for longer stays. Highly recommended

It’s time to plan your lake vacation for 2025
We booked this home after changing our trip dates and losing the original house we rented. Boy, was it worth it!! The home is Beautiful! The views, natural light, huge master bathroom, and the most comfortable couch were just some of our favorite things. One of the bedrooms had kids' books and toys, and it was perfect for our 4-year-old daughter. The owners' communication with us was at its best! We look forward to returning next year!

Clean, Modern Cape Vincent, NY Riverfront Home
Jacqualine’s place feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s HOME. Great quality furniture, linens, towels, kitchen essentials, etc. — not just a rental filled with inexpensive furniture and supplies. Beautiful wide windows in the living space that look out at the river. Sturdy dock that was perfect for our kids to swim off of. Private parking with space to turn around so you’re not backing out onto a busy street. Plenty of spots to view amazing sunsets. The list of positives could go on…. Located in a quiet village with a pub, small market, coffee shop and a few boutiques, it’s a great location to set up home base if you want to be within easy driving distance (+/- 25min) of more touristy towns like Clayton and Alexandria Bay but still have some peace and quiet on the river.

Luxury Waterfront Home! Magnificent Views!
This was my first Airbnb experience and I’m so happy it was here. From the moment you walk in you are blown away by the decor, the views, the amount of light, how well appointed everything is, I could go on and on. But what stood out more than anything else is the thoughtfulness. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t available to us. This place goes above and beyond. Look forward to experiencing this again in the future thank you so much.

Millens Bay Retreat with Private Dock
Our stay was fantastic. The home is a great size with perfect bedrooms and a great kitchen to cook in. The living room and porch were awesome as well. We loved the dock and the ability to launch our jetskis right across the bay. I will say, prop boats should be fine. Jet boats just be cautious of the seaweed. It didn’t stop the fun though!

Waterfront Lake Ontario/Port Bay w/ Private Beach
Gorgeous place and even though the weather was misty, view of the lake was incredible. I’d definitely stay again! Only thing to be aware of is the shared driveway with the other rental property. 4 cars of theirs to our 2 was a bit crowded. Otherwise I highly recommend.
Waterfront condo rentals

Swiss Condo #2 - Water Access STR # 300004
The condo was great! We stayed for a ski weekend and enjoyed the beautiful view of mirror lake, access to the indoor pool and hot tub and easy walk to shops.

Oceanfront Condo – Incredible Spring Rates!
We had an amazing stay! We stayed off peak season, although alot was closed we felt right at home and were more than happy to spend family time at this condo! The views were stunning, and the condo was immaculate. We were close to everything and was still within very reasonable driving distance to the surrounding towns. Julie was a pleasure to work with and was always very responsive and accomadating throughout the process. Hoping to stay again next year!

Montauk Waterfront Condo w/ Sunset Views
Absolutely wonderful stay and host. I've stayed at dozens of Airbnbs and this is one of my favorites! Doug's place is even better in person than the photos. We were a little nervous taking our first trip away with our baby, but it was extremely clean and comfortable, and Doug was so kind and responsive. The condo complex has a lovely boardwalk for taking walks, and the deck furniture was so comfortable to lounge in and take in the beautiful view. We hope to be back!

Endless Summer Studio Condo w Balcony Bayview
We really enjoyed staying at Lynn’s place! Very clean and had a great view of the ocean from the deck. Lynn was very responsive and made the experience seamless. We would definitely stay with Lynn again.

Gorgeous Waterfront - Close to track & Saratoga
Nicholas was a great host and the place was awesome! Super clean and has everything you need. My dogs really liked looking out the big windows to the lake :)

Adirondack Studio Retreat–Cozy Lake Placid Escape!
Angela was incredibly helpful. She provided quick responses and the property was exactly what it was listed as there were no surprises and everything was beautifully kept.

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
The place was perfect nice and clean what I like the best is the it was close to the beach to go for a walk.

Luxury Condo | Hot Tub | Pool | Lake Front | FLX
This was an excellent fit for our family of four, with comfortable sleeping and hang-out space. Everything was extremely clean, and the environment welcoming and quiet. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, having a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and fitness room. We would love to be back when it's warmer to take advantage of the outdoor amenities and convenient walking location.
