Waterfront vacation rentals in Philadelphia

The house was just what we needed when we were in the area for a wedding. I really appreciated the easy communication with our hosts.

My husband and I (and our little dog Kiwi) truly enjoyed our stay at Elliot’s garden apartment. The location is fantastic - just a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants yet the street is in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. We loved the deck views of the creek and it was great having the backyard and garden patio for the dog. Elliot was a great host -he gave us suggestions for restaurants and we were able to meet he and his adorable dog Foxxy when we arrived. The home is just as it appears in the listing and was very clean and comfortable. The steps to the garden and down to the yard were not a problem for us (or our dog) and the parking spot is directly across from the door on the street level which is helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book Elliot’s place again!

Wow, what an amazing gem of a property in the heart of Old City! The home included 2 private units, each with 2bed/bath which you access directly from the elevator..... so cool! This home was perfect for us as we were traveling with a multi-generation family. The two units were more than enough space for the grandparents, parents, kids and even our dog joined us in on the fun. 100% recommend this property if you're looking for a place in the downtown Philly area! - LOCATION: steps away from all the amazing historical sites - FOOD: so many great local restaurants within walking distance - PARKING INCLUDED: worry-free parking as there a secure and gated parking lot half a block away under the bridge. - CLEAN and NEW: just as pictured - it was like walking into an open-house of a brand new condo unit - RESPONSIVE HOST: never took more than a few minutes to receive a response back from our host. Always nice and courteous. Needless to say, we'll be back!

Super cozy & very clean place. Beautiful view from the balcony that faces the river. We had our own assigned parking spot right in front which was very convenient. Walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. Lovely place, perfect for a couple or even a family with 1 child. They had their own cute little touches like snacks and water bottles in the kitchenette, a bottle of wine for us, and even had good soaps in the shower and bathroom. Elyse was also very friendly and helpful with questions! Would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful stay at Jeff's place! The whole place was stylish, cozy, and I immediately felt right at home. The kitchen was massively stocked with extra appliances and a wealth of spices and sauces to get you started. I basically lived in the bay window overlooking a perfect view of the river, and Jeff was incredibly responsive with great recommendations and helpful tips. Super lovely place, I'll miss my cozy coffee mornings watching the boats go by!

Really nice place to stay and quiet!

What a unique property! We really enjoyed staying in a colonial building. The apartment was more like your own little house. John and Marilyn were extremely responsive hosts and the caretaker Jimmy was such a nice guy. They thought of everything one might need, including night lights and snacks. Very cool place for a weekend getaway.

Great long term stay at Ani and Liam's place -- the apartment was cute and charming and as described and walking distance to the center of town and all the stores. The apartment was always warm even on cold nights. Ani and Liam were great hosts and a great neighborhood!

I loved staying at Elliot's canal house. The bed was so comfortable, and the place is in a quiet and peaceful area. I loved watching the ducks and birds along the canal each day; so beautiful :-).

Wonderful Airbnb surrounded by nature! Very comfortable and homy, spacious and super clean! We had a wonderful time visiting family for thanksgiving! Cara and her husband were very responsive within minutes! Thanks again for everything!

I so enjoyed the quiet beauty of this hidden gem in the woods. From the moment I booked, Jen was a fabulous hostess, giving thought and care to ensure a positive experience. The home is beautiful, and I was happily surprised by the gorgeous holiday decor and cheer. Everything was just as described, and I couldn't have felt more at home. Having grown up nearby, I have no doubt this would be an oasis in the summer months, though even with ice on the lake, it offered peace and beauty. The beds were ridiculously comfortable, and the warmth of my host permeated the entire home. I recommend it to anyone seeking nature, beauty, and comfort.

This is a lovely sized property nestled in a quiet neighbourhood of Princeton. The property itself has everything you need and would make a great staycation for large families and friends. Anvita and Shreya were extremely polite and friendly and very helpful in addressing our queries. Both made clear effort in ensuring our stay was pleasent and comfortable. I would recommend staying here as it's local to BAPS Akshardham, Robbinsville (30 mins easy drive) and Princeton University (10 mins).

What an amazing place to stay! Qing has everything you need ! The place is full of character, spacious and a lot of extra things to do! We really enjoyed the privacy you feel out back! The lake is beautiful! Kids enjoyed their stay as well! Probably my favorite Airbnb so far!

The location on the water is beautiful. Four friends enjoyed a cold, rainy April weekend with a nonstop wood burning fire in the living room (thanks May for setting up our first fire, and alerting us to where the extra wood was.). Perfect place to hang in our pajamas under blankets, looking at the river, talking and eating, and just disconnecting for awhile.

My sorority sisters and I had a wonderful time. The home was large, clean and very comfortable!

Let me start by saying I wish I could’ve been here during warmer weather. Even in the winter this house is great! Between the view of the river, the bbq out back, or simply getting warm around the fire pit. Theres so many great things about this place. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.
