About this property

Quantico Bungalow Marine Graduations FBI HQ Marines Potomac River Getaway

Welcome to this Bungalow on 4th built in 1925 in historic Q-town, opened in Oct 2021 as a short-term rental home. Walk just 5 min to Amtrak/VRE train to DC, 2 minutes a few houses down to the Potomac River - fishing, picnic, walking trails, etc. can be done here.

Just a street over (2-3 min) walk to Q-town's main street for friendly hometown food. You'll love this friendly old-fashioned town, which is now surrounded by a military installation on 3 sides and the Potomac River on the other side.

Need REAL ID to getor DOD ID to get to the town/property. Visitor pass can be obtained and details or their website sent after booking. Coming by train the house is within walking distance but there are no rental car places within the town and you would need to use the train for transport.

Comfortable little stay

My children and I stay here for my husbands OCS graduation. We absolutely loved it! The kids kept telling me they don’t ever want to leave and I really found our stay to be very welcoming, comfortable, and just downright cozy. I would definitely stay here again! It really feels like home away from home.

Enjoyed our stay in this nice little house.

2 couples fit nicely in the house. Great location on the base. Loved the coffee in the morning, strong wi-fi signal and overall cleanliness of the place. Only suggestion is that the shower floor could use some repair. Overall, we had a terrific stay and would happily recommend this house to others.

Lovely little bungalow/cottage

Great place to stay for military events. Very cute setup, clean and the iwner was very responsive to feedback or questions. Make sure to go get a guest pass from the visitor center before they close as that makes it way easier entering base/Quantico.

All the comforts of home.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bungalow on 4th. Having never been to the area and where to stay we were so happy with the home and the location. Came to run a 12k race (#runwiththemarines). Our host was very responsive. The home is located one street over from the Potomac River and the Main Street where you will find restaurants. Our dog loved the park 5 houses down right on the river. Highly recommend this home. PSA- (not reflected on the host) if you are a foreign national, even from Canada please ensure you get visitors pass for your entire stay. You must allow ample time to get approval.

Great place!

We had a great stay! Very convenient for visiting someone on base. We had no trouble getting a visitors pass, just bring the printed itinerary from Vrbo and identification. The house is very old, has a lot of character. Everything was organized and neatly labeled, the house had Everything we needed. We appreciated kids toys, kids dishes, step stool, etc. Host is very helpful and thoughtful. Even decorated for Christmas and left adorable Christmas things for us to use.

We needed a place to stay for a solemn event at Quantico. The thought of fighting the I95 crowd and risking not being on time concerned me. I searched for nearby hotels on Expedia and this property came up. I immediately called my wife in and said look at this, it is perfect- and so it was. The property is old (I think it was built in 1925) but has been updated inside. The home is very tastefully styled and made for a very comfortable stay. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Street parking is available right in front of the house. I even got to play fetch with the neighbor's dog which was nice because I was missing my two boys. The property owner reached out to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. We had a wonderful relaxing stay and definitely would book again if we return to the area.

Traveled to Quantico with my wife and daughter to stay here for a week as we visited our son. The place is beautiful and quant, providing a great place to relax every evening after we would spend days visiting all the sites in the area. There are multiple restaurants in east walking distance from the bungalow, so if you wake up and want some breakfast, there are a few options right there. The hostess really did well at making sure everything you need is available. Even had smart TVs with streaming services. The only thing I missed was maybe a little grill in the back yard. That would have been a cherry on top. I can’t talk well enough about how great it was to stay here, I’m a bit of a country boy and recluse, so it was nice having a place that had a home like environment to stay in while I was away from my home. The train station is maybe a 5 minute walk away, so you can even hop a train up to DC to visit the sites up there without having to drive. I’d recommend downloading the Amtrack or VRE app to your phone, makes using the rail easy. My boy will likely be at Quantico for a little while, if so, this is definitely where I plan on staying next visit. So, if you’re reading this, yeah…book it. You’ll not regret it.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Clark

Host profile image
I am a single mom opening my first short-term rental property which I am hoping to use as an investment toward college and as a teaching/learning experience for my 8-year old daughter. I'm excited about this new venture and really enjoyed decorating and renovating this 1925 home and am really proud of how well it turned out. I have worked for DoD for over 20 years as a civilian and when the home is not rented I use it as a remote work location after dropping my daughter off at her micro-school in Triangle.

I live about 25 minutes from the property so I can come assist should any issue arise, but I am also just a phone call away.

Why they chose this property

This property is uniquely located in the Town of Quantico, the town was there before the military discovered Quantico and later purchased all the land around the town. It is the only Town that can never grow and the only Town surrounded by a military base.

This property has 2 buildings - the home that is available for a short-term rental, and a separate building with a garage/apartment which is across the yard available as a separate rental.

What makes this property unique

It is only steps away from the Potomac River - it is beautiful to go down to see the moon at night or watch boats out on the river during the day. There are plenty of picnic tables and a walking trail, and you can go out on the pier as well - and there is free wi-fi in the park.

Food is only a street over - go across the backyard and out the gate and you'll be in the alleyway. Just walk to the right and keep walking until you see an opening and you can then cut over to the main street where some great restaurants await! The VRE to DC is also very nice, and I kind of like hearing the train horn when I happen to notice it as it comes through town.
