QUEENS:
In Forest Hills / Rego Park, there were numerous options, but again, like in most of Brooklyn, nearly all of the options are rooms. I found 2 entire apartments for rent at reasonable prices in the area.
In the entire Kew Gardens Hills neighborhood, there’s 1 property found, and it’s an entire home, which is nice.
Hillcrest / near Jamaica Estates seems to have a bunch of listings, but only 3 were entire homes, and those ranged in price from $125, to $575, to $800 … per night!
The Jewish area of Far Rockaway had nothing.
It is important to be aware that rentals of less than 30 days are illegal in NY. ( and other areas have their own restrictive laws. You can read here

if you want more clarification. Bottom line, unless it is a 2 family home, or the legal resident of the apartment is there with you, you are breaking the law. ( and don’t forget many condos, co ops, and rental unit owners also have their own rules.
