Beautiful home!

This is a wonderful home in a great location! The space is very clean and updated. The owner is attentive and very nice, took a call from me on our first evening there to help me figure out the internet (our toddler monitor wasn’t connecting to wifi). She was so helpful and responsive. She even allowed us to extend our check out by 1 hour! Location is very convenient. It can get a bit noisy with sirens due to a nearby fire station, but my family mostly slept through it! The beds were extremely comfortable.

Great location, comfortable property

We went with a group of couples and this property was great for a group of 6. It was very clean and comfortable. Everyone remarked on how comfortable the beds were. The basement area was good for gathering with comfortable couches and a larger tv. We also enjoyed spending time out on the patio, even though it was late February. The location is great, we were able to park our car and forget it for our stay. Check out process was very simple.

Right off King Street Gem

We had a great stay at this wonderful home right off King Street. The location was great for a week trip to see the sights around DC. Not too far to the Metro. We caught the trolly several times but walked the whole street many times. The host was very quick at responding to our inquiries. The house was fully stocked in the kitchen and plenty of towels in the bathrooms. There was a cold snap while we were there and the two fireplaces warmed us up quickly. We appreciated the extra space in the basement to recover from our long days out. We hope to book again someday!

One of the best places we’ve stayed.

Not a brag, just a statement of fact-we’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the past decade plus, and this is one of the best. Staying here really made our vacation-if you can call it that when you’re retired. We were close to restaurants and retail, with a doable walk to the Metro. The renovated kitchen wanted for nothing, the beds were comfy, and the outdoor area was cozy. It was so nice to spend a day exploring, and come ‘home’ to this property, because that’s what it felt like. There are stairs, so keep that in mind.

Fantastic Getaway

The house is gorgeous, well-stocked and exactly as advertised. The house is newly renovated with high end finishes and stocked with luxurious towels and other supplies. We really appreciated that everything was labeled and well-organized. The location was perfect for our girls trip to the DC area. Walking distance to the Metro and to Old Town Alexandria shops, restaurants and waterfront. Overall, this is the best property, I've found in my VRBO experience.

Beautiful home in perfect location

This property is amazing. The owner was responsive to all inquiries and booking as well as providing thorough check in instructions. The place was very clean with modern appliances and bathrooms. Including travel-sized toiletries was above and beyond thoughtful and hospitable. The location is fantastic and walking distance to many great restaurants and shops. Parking was easy to find on the street the whole time we were there.

Well appointed furnishings and kitchen; super location to Old Town and DC; great value for area

Top 3 of vacation rentals at which I have stayed over 4 decades of travel. Accommodations from well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and spotless living areas show host's eye for detail and interest in a welcomed stay for guests. Parking pass was available upon request and very beneficial in this city location. Great access to free city bus to get to city sites/restaurants and metro to DC. I would highly recommend to family and friends.

Perfect Location: Metro Access & Waterfront

This is one of the best rentals I've stayed at - the backyard space was beautiful (tons of seating), the fridge and freezer are spacious, and there's TONS of kitchenware. Beds were very comfortable. It was the perfect spot to take advantage of great weather the weekend of the Marine Corps Marathon. Loved that this was within a 15 minute walk to the King St Metro & 20+ minute walk down to the waterfront along King Street. Also within walking distance of Trader Joe's if you don't want to rent a car, but it certainly is a walk. Only downside was the sirens from ambulances going by throughout the weekend, for anyone sensitive to the noise. Would definitely recommend this location!

Outstanding Rental

I can’t say enough good things about this rental property. We spent the month of February 2023 here to escape the Northeast winter. The photos and description say it all. Beautifully outfitted, and the perfect location for exploring Alexandria, and just a 10-minute walk to the Metro and all that DC has to offer. Very comfortable beds and linens. Large well-equipped kitchen. Easy communications with the owner. Perfect.

Another wonderful stay in Old Town, Alexandria

My wife and I spent the month of February in 2023 and 2024 in this house as a midwinter escape from Maine. The house is beautifully decorated, outfitted, and maintained, just as shown in the photos. And the location can’t be beat, just a half-block off King Street, about 1/3 mile walk to the Metro and a mile down to the river. Fantastic place for walkers. We have not used a car while here, but have either walked, used the Metro, or Ubered everywhere. (There’s also the free King Street shuttle if you don’t want to walk.) The owner is local and very responsive to any communication or need. Only negative I can think of is the thin shared wall of this 19th Century wood-framed house means there is noise transmission between the adjoining houses, but it mostly amounts to some floor creaking when occupants in either house are moving about, something that didn’t bother us at all. We love staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Danelle Fortune

We have lived in Alexandria for 27 years. We love the "small city near the big city" feel and value the access we have to everything the Washington DC area has to offer. We enjoy hosting people from other areas and helping you find the perfect activities to make your trip special.

Why they chose this property

This location cannot be beat. Old Town Alexandria was George Washington's stomping grounds. It cannot be beat for historical flavor. We are 1/2 block off of King Street - Old Town's main thoroughfare, so there is no end to the number of restaurants and shops in walking distance. We are a 7 minute walk to the Metro and Amtrak stop and a 12 minute drive to the airport. We knew this house would offer our guests everything they could want in walking distance with easy access to Washington, DC sightseeing.

What makes this property unique

We spent the winter having this home renovated. Almost everything is brand new and completed with guests in mind. We love the 1880s charm and the modern luxury.
