What have guests said about our home? Read one example below:

“This house is so amazing!!! This house was exactly as the photos in the listing had portrayed, with a clean and impeccably tasteful and gorgeous decor that appears professionally done. It is so beautifully designed that it appears as if it’s out of a magazine! This house was so stylish and well-planned that I took home ideas for decoration and design improvements of my own house. But not only is this house pretty, it is also quite comfortable, with cushiony couches and good-sized chairs, large tables, and nice beds too, and with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is large and well-equipped, with a large peninsula with which to gather around and cook together. The backyard is truly an oasis and exhibits such charm with all of the well-maintained and manicured potted plants and flowers, and awesome huge central (?magnolia) tree to provide some shade, and with its pretty white lights for the evening...I was just in love with it! The outdoor furniture provides comfortable seating options and the grill is large. The owners literally thought of everything! The hosts/owners of this house were extremely helpful, kind, and understanding of all of my needs, and really went out of their way to assure me we were welcomed and happy with the house and our entire experience! The house is very well-appointed and everything you will need (and more) is there. This house and its owner really made all of the difference in my trip experience!!! I will definitely be returning to stay at this house in the near future, as will my other family members.”

Perfect place for a family stay in DC

This property was a perfect gem for our family to spend a long weekend in DC. It was so clean and comfortable - everything about staying at the property was easy. It was spacious and gave everyone plenty of room to be together and also to have space apart when needed. Carlos is a responsive, communicative host. We enjoyed the location; everything we wanted to see was within 20 minutes. We hope to stay again in a future trip.

Fantastic Stay in Washington, D.C.!

We loved our stay at this three-bedroom home in Washington, D.C. The property was exceptionally clean and modern, with bedrooms that were surprisingly spacious for D.C. standards. The shower was absolutely incredible, and the host went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, even providing coffee to get us started. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the D.C. area!

Washington Visit

We just spent 5 days at this house and it was exactly as listed in the photos. The house was spacious, clean, easy to book into and all of the essentials were provided. We spent time in the backyard and it was quiet as well as safe. I would highly recommend this property. Access to Washington DC is a little tricky but very manageable.

Perfect home, perfect location

Absolutely loved this home! From the minute we walked in, we felt right at home and comfortable. We loved the open space concept downstairs, the well equipped kitchen and the comfortable beds. While we didn’t use the awesome back patio area, we would have if we had spent more time in D.C. The area is easily walkable in addition to access to public transportation. Carlos was very communicative and replied quickly to my messages. I will definitely be renting this home for future visits!

Pictures are beautiful but they don't even do justice to how nice this place is. Top notch. Carlos was wonderful to deal with. My only suggestion would be to have info for public transportation and how to run the TV. Would stay here again if we get back to DC.

Perfect VRBO! Loved this home!!

I am so impressed with this home and Carlos our host was great to work with! It is conveniently located in a lovely neighborhood and the parking on the street out from the home was a breeze! The beds, sofa, furnishings were comfortable and very attractive. Extra supplies in pantry, coffee available and little details that really make this home stand out! I am planning my return soon! Loved it! Thanks for a special week at your home! Also the outdoor patio with barbeque was a huge bonus too!
