Bright and pristine house. Spacious sunroom that is a lovely, tranquil space.

Cafes, coffee shops, convenience stores walking distance (2-3 blocks). Grocery stores, gas stations, Starbucks less than 1/2 mile. Close to shopping malls and big box retail (3-10 min drive). Beautiful historic Old Town Alexandria, King Street Metro and Amtrak Station is 2 miles away. Very fast access to the Smithsonian, Washington Monument, DC Wharf (only go through one traffic light to reach downtown DC)- 10 mins non-rush hour.

Perfect house for our family

House was lovely, very comfortable stay. Spent most of the time in DC but evenings were relaxing in a great space. The host was very communicative and all our expectations were met. We enjoyed our stay, everything was smooth and easy. I would definitely stay here with family again. Thanks Layla for being a great host.

Great for touring DC and surrounding areas

Close to the expressway for our American History Tour, quiet neighborhood to come home to. Kitchen small, BUT the large sunroom made up for it all. It was the beginning of June and the green out all the many windows made the sunroom our favorite room. A 10 minute drive to historic Alexandria.

Beautiful house, everything as advertised.

The house was very neat and clean, with plenty of space for several people to relax in the living room or the large enclosed patio on the back. It is easy access to the 395 freeway into DC, making trips to and from the city easy. The 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were very nice as well.

Lovely home to gather with family

We were in town for the funeral of the family matriarch (102 years old!) We needed a place that was both convenient and space for us and all of our grown children. This house worked wonderfully: it has 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds, 2 full bathroom with plenty of linens, and multiple places to gather and relax.

Perfect location!

I loved this house! I brought my mom, sister, and two daughters to visit DC and it was so nice to not have to hunt for parking at the end of the day. It was an easy drive to nearby restaurants and shops and to the nearest metro station to go to the touristy DC things. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you, Layla!

Location

The house was perfect. We are a family of 5 and brought a grandparent. We had everything we needed. The location was great. We found plenty of what we needed around the neighborhood. We also went into Del Ray, Old Town Alexandria, and D.C (many times 2xs a day). Layla met us when we got there. I could tell she would have been there for anything, if were to need her.

Awesome stay in Alexandria!

This property was exactly as described. It was clean, spacious, centrally located, and had enough room for two families. Layla was a great communicator! She had everything in the home that we needed - linens, towels, pantry supplies, cookware, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and paper products. Our families appreciated the restaurant suggestions and sightseeing tips. I highly recommend staying here if you are going to be in the DC area!

Great Home!

This was our first official Sisters Trip since 2019, due to the pandemic. The neighborhood is quiet, with friendly neighbors. The host was very responsive to any questions we had about the home. The bedrooms worked for the six of us, the upstairs bedrooms very spacious. The location was an easy drive to Old Town Alexandria and quick Uber ride into Washington DC. We definitely recommend Bluemist for a stay in the Washington DC area!

Fantastic!

My husband, son, and I travel to VA from KS to visit with his brothers and mother almost every summer. Several days’ stay at a hotel is not fun. Layla’s Vrbo was the perfect solution! Mom was able to stay with us as well as another out of town brother and family . It was a great location, comfortable, with every amenity taken care of. Close to Old Town and other shopping/dining areas. Absolutely the best!

Spring Break 2018

This house suited our needs perfectly. It was very spacious and clean. We had 2 families of 4 staying here and never felt crowded. If I had to say anything negative, it would only be that it was a bit too far to walk to and from the king street metro stop with the kids. However, we uber'd into city and that worked great. We saved our walking legs for the museums and monuments. Our favorite restaurant was the Cafe Pizzaiolo, it was delicious and had tons of variety. We walked there one night and then had it delivered another night. Layla is great, very nice. She emailed us a bunch of information about the house, sightseeing and transportation. We felt extremely prepared upon arrival. This house made for a wonderful trip. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommend it.

Why they chose this property

Everyone who visits comments on how charming it is, which is the reason why it appealed it me. It get lots of natural night, is solidly constructed and has charming details. It is also in a great location for people seeking space and parking while being centrally located in an established neighborhood, with cafes and coffee shops in walking distance.

What makes this property unique

You only need to pass through one, just one, traffic light to reach downtown Washington DC- right where the US Treasury is located. From there, drive 2 blocks to reach the Washington Monument and Smithsonian Museums.
