This was a very nice house and Sylvia was very responsive. We enjoyed the view out the back windows, although we were there when it was pretty hot and humid so we couldn't go outside too much. The AC worked great. We also saw bald eagles and deer in the front yard. It was summer, so be prepared for lots of flying insects outside too :)

Lovely family vacation with our grown kids and spouses

This property worked great for our group. Everyone had their own bathroom, and we gave the guest house to our son and his wife who were celebrating their anniversary. The kayaks were great, wish we could have used them more. But the weather didn’t cooperate. Loved exploring Old Town Alexandria! The deck was great for evening chats once it wasn’t so hot. We also loved the bird activity! Saw 2 bald eagles!

A Peaceful retreat in the perfect location!

We spent an extended weekend at this property and our only regret was having to leave! The location was perfect for exploring Washington, D.C., Old Town Alexandria, and the National Harbor. However, the true gem was returning to the tranquility and comfort of this home. We enjoyed watching the wildlife, including deer wandering in the front yard and majestic bald eagles soaring overhead. The sunsets from the Captain's House were breathtaking. The home felt like a private oasis, with the Potomac River providing the perfect backdrop for rest and relaxation. Sylvia, our host, was nothing less than exceptional. She was always just a message away, promptly addressing all our questions before our arrival and ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. We will definitely come back!

Relaxing gateway

The privacy of the property allows for a truly relaxing getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while the nearby area offers options for restaurants and shops. This property is perfect for nature lovers who also desire maximum comfort.I would especially recommend this residence to families or couples seeking a rejuvenating experience in front of the majestic Potomac River. The hosts were exceptional, attentive to every detail to ensure our stay was perfect. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning and enjoying this beautiful natural retreat again.

Sister Trip

My sisters joined me for a gathering. Some of us stayed at the waterfront home and others stayed at National Harbor, but we floated between the two. The peacefulness and Zen of the waterfront home was much needed and restful. Everyone enjoyed the stay and the memories that were created. If the house wasn't so big, I would just take time to book it for my husband and myself, even though we live in the area.
