About David
We are an eclectic urban couple -- we love city life but also enjoy getting away from it all. Irvington is the perfect getaway. We love to travel and appreciate privacy wherever we go. We are happy to offer that to our guests. We live full time in a vibrant city where we can walk to everything and love that we can do the same in Irvington.
Why David chose Irvington
Irvington has a special blend of charm and sophistication that is not often found in small towns. It's a fun and friendly place.

The Blue House
What a quaint and cozy home, located in the heart of Irvington, close to the Tides Inn. The home was thoughtfully stocked with items that made our stay quite comfortable. The property manager was professional and promptly answered our questions. We look forward to visiting the Blue House again, it was truly our home away from home.
Thank you for your five star review and for being such great guests! We so appreciate it and would love to have you back anytime!
Excellence
House so cute and clean. Just a min in town center of everything. Very lovely. But we need more toilet paper and paper towel for kitchen.
Luv The NN
Great! 2Nd time there!
Bridesmaids retreat
Great place to gather with our girls just before our daughter’s wedding. Lovely house.
Communication was good
We really didn't have much time to make an honest assessment of the place. My wife and I had just got married the weekend of our stay. However, unfortunately, I (the groom) who NEVER gets sick came down with a respiratory infection days before our wedding and trip to Irvington. Very shortly after arriving at the BlueHouse we decided it would be best if we went home to the comfort of our own home. We can say that the the owner, Laura, was very pleasant to talk to and the communication between us, the renters, and the owners was good.
Great location
Enjoyed the small town people and country atmosphere.
