Amazing House

This house was amazing from the moment we walked in the door. We were there for a weekend girls’ shopping trip. We really enjoyed staying in in the evenings because the house was so perfect. Coming from someone who stays in rental houses multiple times a year, I can say this was the cleanest, most beautiful house I’ve ever stayed in. We’re thinking of coming back to this area again just so we can stay in this house again!

Clean and Comfortable

The Crestwood house was perfect!  The communication from the host was great and the cleanliness and comfort of the home was accurately described and met or exceeded expectations.  There were lots of extras that we really enjoyed like the playroom, basement, and outdoor space.  We would definitely book again.

Family Memories!!!

This beautiful home was the perfect place for our family which included kids and grandparents to make some beautiful core memories over this long weekend before Christmas! It is about a 15 minute drive from National Harbor in Maryland and if you go the other way, about 15 minutes to the Washington monument so it is in an excellent Spot for sightseeing!! my children loved it so much they didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for helping to be part of one of our core memories!

Just like home

Erin’s property in Alexandria was absolutely perfect. We were meeting with family to celebrate our delayed Christmas. This home had all the conveniences of home! We cooked, played, entertained etc. There was tons of space for everyone to spread out. The master bed was very comfortable and spacious. Neighborhood was safe. Location was great. Close to food stores and restaurants. Very easy to drive into the DC attractions. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The property is just wonderful. The curb appeal is amazing. The home is extremely well done. It is decorated with attention to the tiniest of details. Our stay was relaxing and peaceful. There was room for adults, teens, and our 7 year old had plenty to do!

Perfect for families

Our family of ten stayed at this fabulous home while in town for a wedding. This home was exactly as described and is open and well laid out. We were even able to bake for the wedding in the fully stocked kitchen. Erin was a terrific host who went out of her way to check in frequently to ensure our stay was everything we expected! The kids room was an extra amenity we didn’t know we wanted but was a great addition to our vacation.

Relaxing Retreat

My mom, brother and sister all stayed in the fabulously decorated, comfortable, and spacious home. We were in town to meet up as a family and just relax. This home was the perfect place to do it. The home was exactly as advertised. It was in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. We spent many mornings drinking coffee in the backyard. It was close to many eating places and activities. We had a fantastic stay and would love to visit again!

Amazing stay!

Absolutely beautiful home with no detail left out! Everything we needed was already thought of, all we had to bring was ourselves, our food, and clothes! So clean and comfortable and easy access to D.C. for exploring our nation’s capital. Our family loved the home and outdoor space! Would absolutely book again. Erin responded quickly to every question I had and checked in on us throughout the stay. Keypad entry made it easy to check in and no over the top checkout process either! Amazing experience!

Crestwood House

My family was so pleased with this house! We were a family of 10 ranging from an 8 year old , 3 teenagers and adults. We were there for a military funeral for my husband. There was plenty of room for everyone to have privacy. The teenage girls loved the basement, it was like their own apartment. The kitchen is stocked very well with serving dishes, spices, coffee, etc. The playroom has so many toys, legos, magnet building blocks, etc. It was very clean. Beds very comfortable. The master suite is awesome with big step in shower. It is furnished very well. I got ideas for storage in the master closet. The host responds quickly and very accommodating. I would only say the ice makers do not work well, yes there are two refrigerators! I would love to stay there again in the future!

Fantastic Vacation Rental

We absolutely loved Erin's vacation rental. The home is in a quiet residential neighborhood that was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The home is lovely on the inside and outside. The decor is beautiful, the layout is wonderful, and the house is enormous and outfitted with everything you could possibly need. I stayed there with my four children, and we all had more than enough space. Each of my older kids had their own bedrooms, and there were so many living spaces that we didn't use them all! There is a gorgeous basement that would have been perfect for one of my kids to retreat to. There is a playroom, and there is a dining room and a more private living room -- none of which we needed since we were happy to sit in the main great room most of the time! The house was very clean and well decorated. And the location was fantastic. We were close to DC and all the sites (10-12 minutes away), as well as the Northern Virginia suburbs where my extended family lives. My extended family visited us briefly and said they'd recommend this house to other out-of-town guests in the future because it was so beautiful. Thank you, Erin!

Family DC Trip

The Crestwood house was perfect for our family vacation! The home is well maintained and equipped with everything you may need. We had a group of six, and there was plenty of room with multiple gathering spaces including an area for the little ones. The location is great and we were able to get to most of the DC attractions and the airport within 15 minutes. The neighborhood is very nice and close to many restaurants and shops. The host is extremely responsive and the check-in was a breeze. I would definitely recommend this home!

Simply Perfect!

Booked a few days here with our staff team of 4. It was absolutely perfect! Loved the open layout of the house, the large kitchen, and outside patio. Plenty of space and separate living areas to spread out. The decor was out of a magazine…and the master suit gorgeous— the entire home is beautiful and tasteful. Host was welcoming and friendly and the communication was great. I would highly recommend this host/home. Great neighborhood just minutes from Old Town. Erin… thank you. We will be back for sure!! Thanks for making our stay perfect!

Great home! Great location!

Our team has stayed in DC for the past several years. This year we decided to try Alexandria despite an extra 20-40 minute drive to DC. Even though it was a further commute, we felt being in a safer, quieter area may help as we work long hours and needed good sleep. Everything in your home was quality; from the kitchenware, to the furniture, bedding, towels, and decor. To be able to just REST at the end of a long day, was amazing. This would definitely be a location we would love to use again. The only suggestion would be for floor fans as some were really hot and we didn't want to keept the overall temps really low or the windows open.

Wonderful experience!

From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience. Erin was a pleasure to communicate with through the booking process and our stay. The home is beautiful and exactly as pictured. I booked this home along with my sister’s family, total of 4 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of space for us to enjoy together and separately when needed. The home was equipped with everything for a comfortable stay. The only items we didn’t have were tissues, foil and Saran Wrap. If you plan to cook and/or pack lunches, come prepared. Sandwich ziplock bags and plastic containers were provided. Obviously this was not a big deal, but I just wanted to share in case it helps. There were plenty of linens/bedding/pillows and the beds were comfortable. The master bedroom features a King sleep number bed which was a pleasant surprise. None of the bedrooms have a TV, which my sister did not like as she falls asleep to the TV every night. But again, not a big deal overall. The neighborhood was quiet and seemed family friendly. We saw a lot of people out walking their dogs or jogging. We visited the Zoo, National Mall area and Kings Street in Old Alexandria during our stay. The location was perfect for us! Erin, Thank you for making our summer family vacation a memorable one! Should we return to the DC area, we’d be happy to book with you again!
