We enjoyed every single detail of this stunning property. It’s beautiful inside and out! The details and amenities (every single kitchen item you could imagine) were above and beyond. The location is quiet, safe & incredibly close to all of the fun venues that Old Town has to offer. Amy was attentive, prompt and helpful! Will absolutely stay again, 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful stay
My husband and I were in Alexandria for several family celebrations. The location of the house could not have been more perfect for most of the family gatherings that were 2 to 6 blocks away. Added to this convenience was the house's proximity to King Street (Old Town's version of Main Street), restaurants, the Potomac River and Windmill Hill Park. The house has all modern amenities and a comfortable decor. We particularly enjoyed the beautifully landscaped patio. There is a scattering of historic memorabilia thru out the house that is not only entertaining (our visiting granddaughters loved the foot warmer and the voting ballot box) but informative. Finally, our host was not only hospitable but ready in minutes to answer texts (even on the weekend). I recommend this house and hope that future renters have as many happy memories there as my family did.

Magical Alexandria Christmas
Amy was an absolutely wonderful host and the property was beautifully appointed with everything we could possibly need. We were thrilled to arrive and find it decorated for the holidays which made us feel right at home. It is a lovely, short walk to both the river and King Street. We also loved that the grocery store was just two blocks away. We look forward to returning next year!

Outstanding Property and Host!!
This property was the best we've ever rented, a combination of an incredibly helpful, communicative host, and a most thoughtfully renovated, beautiful, functional property. We travel a LOT, and have rented all over the world, and truly have not experienced a better stay. With enormous gratitude towards the host for really caring about her renters and their overall experience!!
