Alexandria vacation rentals

We had a great stay at Jennifer’s place. The location is perfect for experiencing everything Old Town has to offer and is literally steps away from King Street. Even though it’s close to the busiest area of Alexandria, the unit is set back from the road and is very quiet. We had everything we needed during our stay, and check in was super easy with door codes and very clear instructions from Jennifer. One thing we would note for people not familiar with the area is that parking can be tricky. There is ample street parking but the vast majority of it is for 2 or 3 hours max, so it may be advisable to go without a car or pay for an all day spot in a garage or lot. That being said, this is a wonderful and spacious place right next to all of the great things Alexandria has to offer.

We loved our time in Alexandria at Diane's place. The home was just as described and had everything we needed. The location could not have been better. We stayed at Diane's place a month, and I was honestly worried that might be too long to be away from home, work, etc. But her lovely home with all the thoughtful touches made it so comfortable. I was working remotely, and the 2 upstairs office options were perfect, (although I typically used the kitchen table, front or back porches on most days). I spent 2 weeks there before even venturing outside of Alexandria! So much to see and do. It's one of the prettiest, friendliest towns I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. In fact, I didn't feel like a visitor, but a resident, which is always a bonus! Additionally, being so close to DC, National Harbor, Mt. Vernon, and countless other sites, I was tempted to never leave. The free and affordable transportation everywhere (we loved the King St. Trolley) and proximity to DC/Nat’l Harbor, made it the ideal location for us. As a Pacific NW native and VA/DC newbie, the culture and history surrounding us was truly inspiring. Halfway through our stay, we were already sad at how quickly the time was passing and neither of us were ready to leave. The sign of a perfect trip!

This was a great home! It has character & charm. It’s in a good location right off King Street/Columbus, a stop on the free trolley. The home is equipped with everything you’d need and more! The kids books, games and room were wonderful for our 4 kids. W/D and detergent included was so helpful! She even delivered bandaids us! Info others may want to know. First, the walk to the metro is a good 15-17 mins. After a long day with 4 kids, it wasn’t ideal, but The free trolley became a wonderful option although a couple times it had a 20-30 min wait and we had to Uber. The times we did walk, we felt very safe. 2nd, the master bed is a double not a queen and the mattress is VERY firm. Lastly, there’s not a common space for all six of us to gather. The upstairs loft was great for the kids and they loved it. The bathrooms are all downstairs, something to note for kids. Overall, we loved our stay and had a wonderful time! Our hostess was helpful and kind! Thank you!!

My son is immunocompromised and upon receiving the house it was immaculate. The host couldn’t have been more hospitable, and inviting. Very attentive and eager to help with any question. Also the perfect distance to affordable metro parking that makes visiting DC convenient and economical. The living conditions were well above expectations with their recent upgrades. Overall, staying here made it possible that this father and son could have a weekend to remember.
