No — Airbnb-style short-term rentals are not allowed in Great Neck, NY. The Town of North Hempstead defines a short-term rental as any dwelling rented for less than 30 consecutive days and expressly prohibits them in unincorporated areas.

The ban applies to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.), not just Airbnb. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
