About this house rental

Located in Alexandria, this attractive house for $549 per night is a great choice for your next break. We'd love to share our home with you! Why stay cramped in hotel rooms when you can come back home every night. A perfect home base for exploring the area, but walking distance to one the areas best locations -- Old Town Alexandria. This is your home away from home, not a sterile hotel room or bland corporate lodging. Its a stone's throw from the Capitol, minutes to Reagan National airport, and just steps away from everything Old Town Alexandria has to offer. We love hosting families or group gatherings, whether its touring Old Town and DC, reunions, attending a wedding or graduation or visiting your local friends and relatives. We spend as much time here as we can, when guests like you are not staying. Spread out in 2600 square feet of well appointed living space on multiple levels. You will look forward to returning home during your stay. The house is a historic 1850s home which we've updated to modern standards. On Queen Street, it is just steps away from the center of Old Town Alexandria. Unlike most homes in Old Town, this house is large and spacious, including a private fenced yard for relaxing or playing corn hole and a beautiful patio. There is off street parking for your cars, you won't need them here. The large house has been renovated and modernized from top to bottom with gorgeous details throughout -- crown molding, built in bookshelves, exposed brick, working fireplace, full sized stocked kitchen. We live in the nearby suburbs but often stay here ourselves and know you will feel like its your home away from home too. A great place to gather your friends and family. Plan your dinner out in Old Town or cook a meal at home in the well appointed full sized kitchen. There is room to spend time together in the large living room, basement family room, or out back on the private patio and yard. Or send the kids to the attic if you need a break. Perfect for families or groups with plenty of space to spread out in. The house has three bedrooms and has room to sleep 12. Two bedrooms on the second floor have queen beds, the basement bedroom has 2 double beds, plus there is sleeping for two more on a futon couch in the attic media room. An additional pull out sofa in the main floor living room will accommodate 2. You will need to do upstairs or downstairs to the bedrooms, sorry, there are no bedrooms on the main level. Large comfy finished basement also has TV and room to relax on the large sectional couch. Clawfoot tubs in the 2 modern full baths, and one additional 1/2 bath. Hard to find in Old Town, is the large fenced yard with beautiful private outdoor patio for you to relax. A great place for a cook out, or use our corn hole set while sitting around the fire pit on a chilly fall night. There is also a playground and basketball court right at the corner. To explore Old Town, you won't need your car. We are just two blocks from King Street, which is the main street through Old Town. Its just a few minute walk to sights, shops, restaurants, and nightlife. If you feel lazy, there is the free Old Town Trolley that goes the length of King Street, stopping at both the King Street metro station and the waterfront There is a stop every few blocks, just hop on and you can ride down to the waterfront. City Bike rental stations are also nearby. Its easy to go out and enjoy all the great shops, historic sites and restaurants in Old Town.

One of the best homes we've ever stayed in! House had everything we needed - layout was great, especially having multiple gathering places, and owners supplied everything from shampoo and body wash to serving plates and measuring spoons. It was a great place for our extended family to come together for Thanksgiving and explore the DC area. Convenient parking, short walk to Metro, multiple grocery stores nearby, plus coffee shops and fun shopping on King Street. We hope to stay here again!

This was a great house to host 9 people. Plenty of space and equipped with everything you need. Easily walkable to downtown Alexandria/King Street area. The outside area was great. We took advantage of the grill and fire pit. Plenty of seating outside and inside. The pictures on line do not do the place justice! Very nicely decorated and updated. We would definitely stay here again.

This property was really beautiful. It was the perfect size for 6 adults and 3 small children. Everything we needed was in the house. The central location allowed for an easy walk to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, etc. We needed to get to D.C. for a marathon so it was a great location for metro access as well. We'll definitely be back next year...if it's available!!!

Everything was just as advertised, very well appointed with pretty much anything you could think of. It felt like our home away from home. Safe area, very clean, easy to communicate with owners, very excellent stay! Our two families of 9 people had plenty of room to spread out, and we had a great time!

What an amazing house! This was by far the best VRBO we have had. We were dropping my daughter off at college and we decided to do a mini family reunion in the DC area. We had our parents from PA, my family from Missouri and my brother’s family from Oregon. The location was perfect for us to grab the metro into DC each day. King Street was just a few blocks over and had a ton of great shops and restaurants. We easily walked to the waterfront and took the water taxi over to DC to see the monuments lit up at night. The house was exactly as described and came with anything and everything we needed for our stay. Since we were all coming from out of town, that made our stay so much easier. The owners were incredibly responsive and you can tell they put a lot of love into their home. We would definitely stay in this home again! Thanks for making the drop off of our daughter at college so memorable!!
