Photos and Description of the Staten Island vacation house rental
Home, 2 Bedrooms + Full Convertible Sofa bed, 1 Bath, Sleeps up to 6

Closest To FREE FERRY! Wonderful Waterfront Unobstructed View of the skyline of Manhattan and Brooklyn along with the Hudson Harbor and just 3 blocks to the commuter ferry. This comfortable 2 bedroom home has a great vantage point as it is a short 20 minutes FREE ride to Manhattan via the Staten Island Ferry and yet is in a SAFE and quiet location. The Esplanade in front of the Victorian home follows the waterfront and has a running trail, benches and a boardwalk above the tides. Or go see the Staten Island Yankees (a minor league) play at the beautiful new stadium, only a block away from the house.

Everything is close in Historic St. George, museums, restaurants and small grocery stores that have good selections of staples, beer and organic foods. If the desire is to explore the neighborhood and view all the historic homes and public buildings or ride over to New York City see the sights, all is quite easy even with small children. On the other side near the NYC dock is the ticket booth to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island or the tour busses. If you want to walk around after landing you will be in the old Historic district of Manhattan and just a few short blocks from the Financial District of Wall Street.

The house has been renovated with a new and fully equipped kitchen. For summer there is a new 18,000 BTU air conditioner and a lovely private Garden Patio with table and chairs. For winter there is a working wood burning fireplace and steam heat. Enjoy a master bedroom with lovely romantic decor and wood floors, high ceilings with ceiling fans throughout and a full bathroom with a bathtub. There is a shared foyer with the owner but the unit has it's own locking front door and is totally private. No car is necessary and there is public transportation from all three airports in New York and from Newark in NJ. If a parking space is needed the street has no restrictions and is right in front of the home entrance. Wifi is included along with cable TV on a 32' flat LED screen.

About Robin Levin

My husband Stanley and I on the Esplanade down in front of the house. The area is scenic with all of New York Harbor within view of the house. Both commercial and pleasure boats are constantly traveling back and forth to loading docks or on their way out to sea.

Robin Levin purchased this house in 1988
Why Robin Levin chose Staten Island

The house is quaint and inviting with great views, one can never be bored. A great plus is the close proximity of the Staten Island Ferry that runs 24/7 - 365, only a 10 minute walk, a 20 minute ride and then you are in Manhattan. Coming home it is cool in summer as the doors are wide open and you can watch the sun setting with the Statue of Liberty back lit. In winter the passenger lounges are heated and you can read, relax or compare notes on your days adventures.

The house is historically significant as the first owner was the son of the preserved Stevenson's General Store in Historic Richmond Town. In 1870's coming to the North Shore was a relief with the breezes blowing off the Hudson River and so the area became a resort with homes for the very wealthy.

This two family home provided a place for me to live and raise my two children. Now I rent the lower part of the house, which is a complete apartment in itself with sliding patio doors out onto a private patio and garden.

What makes this house unique

It is so convenient to all public transportation. The neighborhood is safe and it is a relatively quiet one for New York City. The house is private, clean and comfortable with antiques in every room but the kitchen is updated and there are modern conveniences such as air conditioners and a dish washer so you don't need to live in the last century on your vacation.

Back in the New York Groove!!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 25, 2009
  • Stayed: Sep 2009
My husband and I took our 3 children (ages 17, 14 & 11) to New York from Perth, Australia in early October. This was a return trip for us and a new experience for them.
Finding accommodation for five people at a reasonable rate is not an easy assignment! Robin's accommodation is exactly as described and portrayed in her photos.
The easy ferry access to Manhattan, the ability to travel on the subway to all points, the ability to find some space and to cook our own meals - all these wonderful points are eclipsed by the owner herself.
Robin is a wonderful landlord - she is there when needed to provide good local information but does not intrude. She was especially helpful to us in obtaining tickets to a Giants game for my husband and son - which has given them both some great memories.
I have no hesitation in recommending a stay with Robin at this, or any of her other properties.

Our love & best wishes to Robin

Happy to Come Back!

We were so happy to return here for three weeks in April (11-30) – just in time to enjoy the flowers and morning birdsongs of springtime in New York. The weather was glorious and we were able to enjoy the charming patio in the back garden that opens off the kitchen. We enjoyed many lovely morning and late afternoon walks along the esplanade watching the ships come and go, and on the weekends, many sailboats. We discovered the wonderful new restaurant Blue on Richmond Terrace right near Snug Harbor Botanical Gardens. Indoor and outside restaurant seating is right on the water and the views day or night were always interesting. Hosts Robin and Stan made sure we had everything we needed to make our return stay as pleasant as ever!

Our Lovely Home for Six Weeks

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 14, 2013
  • Stayed: Jan 2013
This was our home for six weeks, while we were looking for a place to buy in Manhattan and simultaneously finishing up a book manuscript. We loved the convenience of having the ferry within an easy walk. We will always remember the magnificent view overlooking the bay, which is fascinating both day and night. It became a fun pastime to watch all the cargo and passenger ships coming and going. You can track them yourself by name and destination at www.MarineTraffic.com.

Thanks to our gracious and helpful hosts - and new friends - Robin and Stan!

Robin was there when we arrived to help us settle in. After enjoying a pleasant breakfast on the outside backyard patio, we took the ferry over to the city every day. For a few nights of our stay we had the added advantage of fireworks over the Staten Island Yankee stadium (when they won) which we could watch from either inside or outside on the front porch. We also very much enjoyed the deli down the street who made us feel like locals and even gave our kids a staten island yankee baseball. Robin was delightful and helpful and the place was charming.

Way better than staying in Manhattan!

We were looking for a kind of home-away-from-home to have a family Thanksgiving gathering with our daughter who goes to school in NYC. This worked perfectly, with an easy commute back and forth on the Staten Island Ferry. The flat is well equipped, clean, and comfortable. Sitting on the couch in the living room, you look out on the water and can see the Statue of Liberty and New York skyline. The owner was responsive to emailed questions before we arrived, and made sure we had all we needed. We'd definitely consider coming back here again on a future visit.
