Historic House Old Town Alexandria

This historic home is located in Old Town Alexandria and within two blocks of King Street, with onsite parking for 3 cars. Walk to restaurants, bars, shops, parks, and museums. The house has been modernized; the inside is comfortable and cozy. Fully furnished with amenities to make you feel right at home.

This detached historical house was built in 1870 and is updated to blend the old with the new. Old Town is known for its historic charm and art, and this home combines both. The house is conducive for groups of six, couples, and families with children over the age of ten. Two electric fireplaces provide ambiance and warmth, and the large flat-panel TV is great for movie night. For enjoyment, there are books, board games, and art supplies.

The designer kitchen is stocked with cooking tools for those who love to cook. Entertaining is a breeze; the dining room can seat up to ten people and has serving dishes.

A perfect place in Old Town

This is the second time we have stayed in this lovely home. The host is wonderful to work with and answers our questions immediately. The home is a blend of history and ultra modern. The parking in the rear is so appreciated. It is so near all the Old Town spots. We love this place!

Fabulous place near DC

We had a great stay at this property. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the last several years and this one is easily in the top 3. There was plenty of space in this home and it had everything we needed. The location was great for touring around Alexandria and it was a short walk to the Metro to spend time in DC. We packed a lot of things into a week, but we'd definitely come back here again in the future.

Wedding Weekend

We were visiting for a family wedding and the house was perfect. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. Being just a block and half from King Street, shops and restaurants were easy to get to by walking. Vat was super responsive. Any time I sent a question, she replied extremely quickly. I would highly recommend this property.

Great time in Old Town

This was our first time in Old Town and boy did this home set the bar high! This property was clean and spacious; better than the online pictures. The location is pretty close to D.C. and Georgetown, but there’s a lot to do right there. Plenty of great local restaurants and retail shopping. Vat was absolutely wonderful - kind, informative and very responsive.

Old Friends Having Fun

We spent a wonderful long weekend here during Historic Garden Week. The house is cozy and comfortable, attractively decorated and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need, including off-street parking. It’s conveniently located within walking distance of the heart of Old Town Alexandria and Washington, DC is a short ride away by metro or car and you can take a water taxi for a more scenic route.

Perfect Location

Alexandria old town is an ideal location whether as a destination or going to DC. Uber was easy and good choice. Alexandria is a lovely, interesting town.. Vat's home is just wonderful! Good location, very walkable area. Home is very immaculate and has any possible amenity you could want. It is more like staying in a family or friends or home not a rental. Vat communicates quickly and seems to want renters to be totally happy. Well appointed and many special items. Parking off street a real bonus. We vrbo often and this was the best!

Great location and home away from home.

We had a wonderful time at Vat's place. The house had a great A/C for the warm days and the location was near the free bus, restaurants and King Street to get on the Metro everyday. Great location to get to DC and back to explore the museums and sites with our children. Also the owner was very responsive, and above and beyond helpful. Thank you for our stay, I would definitely recommend this place!
