This house is a lovely home. Spacious and fully stocked. Our 3 families stayed there comfortably as we visited Baltimore's Inner Harbor, Mount Vernon and Washington DC! Convenient to all by Metro! The owner lives next door and is kind and hospitable. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Would definitely recommend this and gladly visit again!

This home was an excellent choice for our family during a recent stay. Very easy to get to Mount Vernon and all Washington DC places of interest. The house is very clean and well equipped for any family. We were very comfortable and would chose this home again when we return.

This house exceeded our expectations. The kitchen has everything you need and more, and is actually a fun, spacious area to cook. Cleaning up was easy--It was simple to cook and serve the children right in the kitchen, or you can use the larger dining room for a bigger crowd. The swing set out back is new, nice, safe, and perfect for many ages. Quick drive to shopping areas, and easy to get to nature, parks, playgrounds, the library, etc. We would definitely rent this house again--it is like an oasis with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy each other. Thank you, Carlos, for your hospitality--you run it like a bed and breakfast, and we appreciate your relaxed manner and professionalism. Darcy

The BEST

Guest: C Kevin & Betty C.
Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/05/12

One of the very best places we've ever stayed! We are parents and grandparents to 4 children and 12 grandchildren. We spent our Christmas vacation in Alexandria (where our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren live) & Mt. Vernon, VA. We are from South Dakota. Eight of us stayed at this vacation home, the rest of the family stayed elsewhere. We spent Christmas morning, many evening meals and time together at the house. Carlos and his wife, provided a fresh Christmas tree for our week's stay. The kitchen was fully equipped--modern appliances (double oven), one set of daily wear plates, one set of China, plates and silverware for children, high chair, pots/pans and even a large pancake griddle. The bedrooms had comfortable and beautiful bedding, bathrooms were very nice. The living room is large and cozy with a fireplace and large screen tv. I really appreciated the high efficiency washer and dryer, along with a clothes drying rack and laundry baskets. The back yard was great for grandchildren because it was fenced in and had a large play set. Nothing has been overlooked for amenities. It was so nice to come "home" after a day of site seeing--so much better than going to a hotel. Most of all, we appreciated the kindness shown by Carlos and his wife. Kindness in all the things mentioned and coming to the house to help us with anything we needed. We thank you so much, Carlos and wife, for making our vacation so memorable because of your graciousness and attention. God bless both of you.

Great house, easy to get to metro (less than 10 minutes away by car) then to anything you want to see/do in DC. We went for the Marine Corps marathon and enjoyed the weekend thoroughly. Great house to spread out and be comfortable. Kids also went trick or treating in the neighborhood on Halloween! Not many kids out but lots of nice neighbors handing out candy...definitely would stay again if we ever go back to DC!

Great place to stay

Guest: John-Henry L.
Date of Stay: 10/22/11 Review Submitted: 12/02/11

We had a delightful stay during our week at Carlos's Mt Vernon home. The house was spacious and provided us with an excellent base from which to visit central DC attractions and visit with friends, some of whom came and to stay with us at the house for a few days. Our young girls (3 and 6) particularly enjoyed the playhouse that could be found in the garden and spent several afternoons out there playing. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the things to cater for your normal day to day needs. We spent much time there whilst in the house and it felt as a natural gathering point. In general all rooms met the description and the pictures that were included in the ad. Carlos was very helpful in answering our questions around what services were available before we arrived. In our view, the house is suitable for many different types of guests but in particular for larger families, parties that travel together and families with children. We hope to be able to return in the future when we visit the DC area again at some stage. Thank you for a great stay. The Liepe family (visiting from London)

Date of Stay: 10/18/11 Review Submitted: 11/16/11

We really enjoyed your house. Originally I thought we were going to have 11 ladies but ended up with 6. It was great for only 2 had to share a room, and the rest had their own rooms. The kitchen was wonderfully large. The water faucet was an enigma which we didn't get use to. The dish drawer is in an awkward place right in front of the cooking service which the cooked blocked. The location is great, near the Metro, Old Town Alexandria, and Mt. Vernon. We found the house very comfortable and well equipped. I would definitely consider renting it again and would highly recommend it. I couldn't get to review page, so I am making my comments here.

A Great Home - Kid Friendly

Guest: Sharon J. (Lancaster, Pennsylvania)
Date of Stay: 09/21/11 Review Submitted: 10/10/11

My extended family all flew into DC for a long weekend. We had six adults and three kids under three and the home fit us and our needs wonderfully. It is a large home so there was plenty of room for the kids to run. There are steps though, so if you have crawlers or new walkers it may be a little more stressful. The home is on a very quiet street with a beautiful back yard with a great playground. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed and more to make breakfast and dinner every day. The home was extremely clean which made it even easier to feel at home and relax. The location was great too! It was only a 45 minute (at the most) drive into the city each day. We drove in and parked our car in a parking garage, which is about $20 a day, very close to the mall. There are tons of great restaurants nearby as well as grocery stores and shopping. If we were taking a DC vacation again we would definately pick this home again.

This home provided a perfect location for my wife, four daughters and three son-laws as a base from which to expore Washington D.C, Mount Vernon, Gettysburg and surrounding areas. This home had plenty of space for the nine of us. The home is in excellent condition with all things in good working order. The owner Carlos, was available throught our trip to answer our questions about the home and surrounding areas. My family is very active and a trail system from the home to Mt. Vernon and the Potomic River was just what we needed to keep up our exercise regime. This home was so much better than staying in a hotel room. We enjoyed preparing meals in the large, very funtional kitchen. This also saved us a lot of money because we didn't have to purchase all our meals at a resturant. It also provided a perfect opportunty to gather in the evening to discuss the adventures of the day and to plan for the next day. The location was also very convienent for accessing the DC Metro System which we used to travel the the Mall area.

First the house has location, location, location. Close to the Metro, shopping, restuarants, Mt. Vernon and situated in a nice quiet neighborhood. Second, Carlos has gone above and beyond with furnishing the house. The kitchen, which is wonderful, spacious and well equipped - makes a great setting for meals. It was the gathering place for us while we stayed at the house. The bedrooms are spacious, bathrooms immaculate and the family room and dining room are huge. The backyard has a large table with a canopy. The house had everything. There wasn't one thing that we needed that wasn't there. Thank you Carlos for providing us a Home away from home.

We spent a week in this wonderful home on our first visit to Washington, D.C. in many years. Since we have a family of 9, it was important to me to find just the right property to accommodate all of us. The home has all the modern convenience and everything one would need. We made breakfast each morning, packed picnic lunches for the afternoon, and used the bbq in the evening. There was enough room for the children to eat in the kitchen and the adults in the dining room for some much needed down time after walking all day. We were all sad to leave. Carlos was a great host and we appreciated the fact he would check periodically to see if we needed anything. We took the meto one day but the other days we drove as the cost was approximately $75.00 for all of us. We found free parking downtown close to the Title Basin. Worked great since we were able to leave our lunch in the car and walt back for a picnic. I would highly recommend this property. It was wonderful!

This house has all queen and king size beds, comfortable mattresses, adequate towels and linens. Very clean house! The kitchen is large, also a large dining room. We were a family of 7 adults and 2 kids. I had hoped to stay downtown DC, but bedrooms and bathrooms were always inadequate in downtown DC....here, even with renting a car (which you will need to get to the Metro station) this house didn't cost us more and we had great space! Metro into the city was enjoyed by all the members of our group. It was a good experience for my grandkids as public transportation is not common in our area. Mt Vernon is literally 2 miles away, we enjoyed the day there, came home and returned for a nice dinner at the Mt Vernon Inn. My big fear was that it would be a hassle to access downtown DC, and that was NOT the case at all! Carlos lives very near, and was always responsive to my emails prior to arriving. He got an extra hair dryer for us before we came, and my deposit was returned very promptly. Nice washer and dryer, drying racks for clothes...I even saw a nice high chair if you had a baby in tow.

Family Reunion

Date of Stay: 04/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/02/11

We were two grandparents, a daughter, son-in-law and two children who stayed at this property for a week in April. We had a wonderful time. It had everything promised and was supplied with everything a person could want. The house was newly renovated and spotlessly clean. During our time there we had a family reunion luncheon with 19 family members--there was plenty of room for everyone. The owner lives next door and was available whenever we needed him. We saw several museums during our stay and also Mt. Vernon which was only about 2 miles away. Restaurants, shopping and grocery stores were ample and close by. There is a possibility that we may return to this area in a few years; if so, we would certainly rent this property again.

Extended Stay Vacation

Date of Stay: 12/05/10 Review Submitted: 03/27/11

We stayed at this lovely home for nearly five weeks, December 2010-January 2011. For much of the time, it was just the two of us. Our son and his family joined us over the holidays and in total we had four adults and four children in the house and we never felt crowded. The home is actually much larger in person than the photos show – the rooms are well designed and there is an abundance of storage space. The home is built on three levels. There are hardwood floors throughout with plenty of windows for natural light. The yard is very nice and there are so many varieties of birds – which we enjoyed feeding. At night, stargazers will be delighted as there are no bright lights obstructing the view. Carlos was very helpful and nice to us and even though he lives in the connecting property – we didn’t really know he was there as the home is very soundproof. The neighborhood is quiet, which is wonderful if you’re like us, and love peace and quiet! The home is very close to Mount Vernon and the drive is quite nice and relaxing. Washington, DC is close as well, and Carlos can give you directions for the scenic route to and from. The furnace went out during a very cold spell and Carlos had a repair man onsite within the hour. The furnace was up and running in no time. We live in Scotland (American lady – married to a Scottish man) and because we were there for so long – we purchased quite a few things to use in the home, but were unable to take back with us. We feel by leaving these things behind, we’ve sort of put our touch onto a home we felt belonged to us when we were there. May all the people who visit this home in the future have as comfortable stay as we did! Best wishes –

Our visit was for four days. There were four families spanning three generations. We were in town to participate in the Marine Corp Marathon. Our only knowledge of the house was the VRBO information about the house. We didn't know what to expect. The house and the amenities exceeded our expectations. It was quiet and comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood is nice. Carlos was a gracious host. It was so nice for all of us to be together in the house. There was plenty of room for the grandkids to play. The back yard is nice. I daily enjoyed my morning coffee on the brick patio just off the dining room. The kitchen and dinning room was a great place for us to enjoy our traditional pre-race dinner. There is a Metro station within a few miles of the house which made travel to D.C. very convenient. There are a lot of restaurants nearby. We enjoyed Mount Vernon the day after the race. I highly recommend this house.

Our family and my husband's brother family stayed at the house in August. The house met all of our expectations. My sister-in-law and I absolutely adored the kitchen and were so thankful to be able to cook dinner together and feed all 8 kids at once. The house was very clean, cool and comfortable. The location was great- took us about 15 minutes to get to the mall, but one of our favorites was Mt. Vernon-only a couple of miles away! I would definately recommend this house to anyone traveling to the DC area!

I rented this house and took my parents, son, sister and nieces for a week long vacation to DC. The house was perfect for the seven of us, a large, open kitchen and a huge dining room table for us all to be able to eat together was wonderful. It was very close to metro stations and provided a nice place to come "home" to at the end of a very tiring sightseeing day in DC. The house was very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this house and if I am ever returning would rent it again. P.S. Love the kitchen..it had everything we needed (or wanted) to be able to make dinner for everyone in the evenings.

Quiet street and a great place to relax.

Our three generations were in the DC area for a family wedding, and we found the perfect place to stay. The five bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodated all of our needs. We especially appreciated the huge, beautiful kitchen and dining room table that seated 10 comfortably. The house was immaculate, and Carlos was extremely gracious, helpful with advice and very concerned about our satisfaction. The home is near Mount Vernon and Frank Lloyd Wright's Pope-Leighey House, both of which we enjoyed. You do need a car to drive to the metro station, but you can park in the metro garage for $4.50 a day and easily take the metro into DC. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative, especially someone with a large group. You just can't beat the price for what you get.

Coming from all over the US, our family needed a place to stay. We chose this rental but were skeptical because you can't always tell from pictures. It was an absolutely beautiful place and we had a sad but great visit. There is plenty of room, a fabulous kitchen and is highly furnished even shampoo and soap. Carlos is a very gracious host and offers to help you in anyway he can. This is a very convenient but quiet location to the capitol, Arlington and many other points of interests. Old Towne has lots to see and great places to eat. You won't be sorry you selected this rental.

My wife and I were taking our 5 children (ages 12 to 4) down to DC for a mini-vacation and I dreaded the idea of staying in a hotel. There are just too many of us! Carlos' house was plenty spacious with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. We could spread out and not trip over each other. The house itself is very clean and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Very close to the Metro and Mount Vernon (a trip I hope to take next time). We will be taking the kids down again next year and will definitely rent again. I would recommend this to anyone.

The house was very clean and well furnished and kitchen well equipped with the exception of a large roaster for a big family. The beds were comfy, showers clean with good water pressure and though we were a large crowd, we had adequate hot water and bathroom availability. Pleanty of eating space. Lacks card tables and games for those gamesome ones. 10:00 am Check out time is early for a large bunch. Short distance by car to the Huntington station. All day parking is cheap, don't forget your smart strip before leaving the station. Quiet neighborhood, diverse community with plenty of grocery stores nearby. We are a family of good cooks so we did not try any of the restaurants but read some good reviews.

grandparents, parents, teenagers and friends all had a good time at this house, carlos went above and beyond by installing ramps to make the house accessible for motorized wheelchair to access 2 levels of the home , and back yard . plenty of space in bedroom and living room for wide turns. bathroom door not accessible by wheelchair. great cold air on hot humid days. we never ran out of hot water with 9 people, laundry and dishwasher. kitchen fully loaded with cookware, and dinner ware. table in dining room looks great fully set for family dinner- 12 chairs many things to do local and dc- thanks again carlos

The pictures of the house truely portrait the real things both inside and outside. Our experiences with the house was above expectation. The house was clean, tidy and spacious. The tri-level floor plan was pleasing. The family loves the large and newly renovated kitchen. All of the cookwares were above standard quality and modern. Even the garbage container was digitized. Everyone love the 50in plasma TV and use it often to view web content and watch movies. There are even fire flies roaming the front and back yard each night. Thanks Carlos for sharing this wonderful house with us. We are looking forward to come back one day.

7 of us stayed in this terrific home for memorial day weekend. Even with the enormous traffic it was soooo easy to get in and around the dc area from the house, yet it was in a beautiful quiet neiborhood that we all enjoyed relaxing in after a long day of seeing the sites! i cant think of anything that the house didnt have that we needed. It is beautiful, roomy and the kitchen was so great.

nice and clean house

This is a very good place to stay if you want to take a vacation away from home. Cause it's like a HOME. All the information and picture are accurate. And you can either drive or take the metro to down town. Most importantly if you travel with kids, there is plenty space in the house for them to play. This house can easily live more than 10 people. The owner of the house is very nice too !

We rented this house for 5 days to attend our Son's wedding at Fort Belvoir. We couldn't be more pleased!! We shared the house with our Daughter, Granddaughter and Mother-in-Law, and we were all comfortable, and all our needs were met. The house is beautifully furnished and stocked with everything we needed. We would defintely recommend this property to our family and friends visiting the area.

I really enjoyed my stay here! I went with a few friends and was picked at the airport by the lovley couple that owns the property. They were attentive and very accomidating. They were able to take me to a car rental office which gave me a better deal then the airport. What I enjoyed most was the location. I felt as if I had borrowed a friends home that was in a quiet naiborhood but still close to parks and a short drive to Old Town or the Metro. My friends and I spent a lot of time touring DC but when we got home we just fired up the grill and had nice time in the evenings. The added bonus was we saved on our food expenses by stocking up at home and cozied up next to the fire on cold days.This place is a must see to get away from it all without feeling like your stuck in a hotel.
