Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Fairfax County

Shirley's place is a fantastic little find. Pristine, spacious, welcoming. Great host. Only stayed one night so couldn't explore locally but saw several nice places to eat and ship at on my drive in. An approx 20 min drive from major DC attractions. Great neighborhood!

We had a wonderful stay at Shafia’s place! We enjoyed the area and rode the Metro from the Franconia Springfield station into DC. This was a great place to come back to at the end of the day. Beds were comfortable and the space was perfect for us. (Girls’ Trip!) We visited AmThai close by, Mount Vernon, Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant, The Library of Congress (tickets in advance), Zaytinya (reservations), the National Portrait Gallery, Virtue Feed & Grain (reservations), Old Town Alexandria, Old Town Books, the Swiss Bakery nearby, Barca (reservations), and Tous Les Jours Bakery & Cafe. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Our stay at Connie's was perfect. The studio apartment was immaculate, and exactly what is offered in the listing. The location is great with it's proximity to DC. There is a shopping center and a variety of restaurants nearby. A plus is the quiet location and a trail/park a short walk away. Connie is friendly with quick responses to requests and questions. Having family in the area, we definitely will rent again. Thanks for a great experience.

Great spot for the price! The inside was clean and cozy, and Cristian was responsive and helpful.

Louise’s place was perfect for an active family of 3 - right by the W&OD trail, close to plenty of parks and other family-friendly activities, and easy access to the highway and metro. Everything was as described, clean, and ideal for a relaxed family vacation. We definitely plan on returning for future trips!

Christine’s place was wonderful! It is exactly as described, and even more spacious in person! It was a joy to return back to the place each day after exploring Washington, D.C. Perfect location and sparkling clean! I’d happily stay again.

My 21 year old daughter stayed at Libby's place while attending orientation for a job at Inova hospital. Location was great and easy to find. There was private parking and a private entrance. Unit was spacious and clean and had everything she needed. Only note was that the beverages and snacks seen in the photos were not there as she expected they'd be or she would have brought her own. Overall a comfortable stay and we would book again!

We would definitely stay here next time we visit! I stayed several nights with my two dogs and we had a great time. They’re both about 50lbs so the space was a little small for all 3 of us, but having use of the fenced yard was soooo great and Laura was super accommodating with my reactive dog. It was easy to communicate with her on the app which I appreciated. The location is close to the highway/beltway and convenient to get to Alexandria and DC, and close to Mosaic District which has restaurants and a great farmers market. You can hear some upstairs noises/barking in the evening, but no different from being in an apartment so it didn’t bother us at all.

Prime location with pristine and comfortable accommodations. Mark was quick to respond to messages and very helpful. We would definitely recommend this apartment to any individual or couple looking for a cozy respite.

My wife and I stayed at Amy’s place for roughly a week while we moved into NVA. Her place was excellent and at a convenient location - short drive to the metro, lots of restaurants and shops nearby, and I really liked the peace of the woods behind the house. We definitely recommend staying here. Amy and was very proactive with offering assistance and recommendations, the apartment was clean and spacious, nice kitchen, and the bed was comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Very nice and comfortable place to stay. Easy and safe walking distance to metro. Emi was very nice and helpful.

A quiet space with lovely garden view, just as described in the listing. The hosts were very responsive, quick to address the minor issues I had, and friendly without being intrusive. In addition to the many good points mentioned in reviews by previous guests, I especially appreciated the nightlights in the apartment and the outdoor lighting along the walkway. I hope this place is available the next time I'm in the area!

It’s a cute little place. I just was not in it long enough to enjoy it because I went for a graduation and was only there for two days. I would probably reserve it again in the near future.

I could not be more happy with my stay at Peter and Jason’s place. The apartment is cozy and comfortable and the neighborhood is great. They could not have been more gracious hosts. 5 stars and would definitely stay again!

This was a gem of a stay in a great location. Close to shops and restaurants but felt secluded and serene. Easy for those needing to commute to DC. Felt like a home away from home.

We spent a very pleasant few days visiting Washington D.C. and the local area. Metro access was easy, we parked at West Falls Church. Accommodation had everything we needed, definitely worth the stay.

Abs has a beautiful place and I loved being there. The neighborhood is lively and interesting. The Metro stop is about 10 minutes away. Entry into the home was easy based on clear instructions. The home is clean and has beautiful art and furnishings. I was in D.C. for a business event but I wish I could have stayed longer. The place is absolutely gorgeous, clean, and comfortable, and Abs is a wonderful and responsive host. I'm grateful for the experience.

My daughter will be having a baby soon and have been looking for a place close by for when I visit. This is it!!! It is affordable, clean and decorated beautifully. So relaxing, usually I can't sleep well in hotels but slept well here.

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights, primarily so we could see the sights in DC. The condo was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was reasonably walkable. Was easy to get in and out of DC, via rideshare, and super easy to get to and from Reagan. Highly recommend!

Tucked in the heart of Bethesda with a quiet charm that somehow still feels central to everything, this stay was a gem. Getting around was a breeze—whether by foot, metro, or last-minute snack run to the 24/7 CVS or 7-Eleven. The apartment itself? Immaculate. Fully stocked with everything we could possibly need—and then some. The internet didn’t blink, the TV was streaming-ready (a blessing for our nightly Netflix ritual), and we barely had to buy a thing beyond food. Rodrigo was the kind of host you wish all hosts were—attentive, responsive, and refreshingly clear with every detail. Winston, the building manager, was also incredibly kind and helpful. Bonus points for the cozy terrace, which turned into our favorite nighttime hangout spot. All in all, one of the most exceptional Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Would come back in a heartbeat—no hesitation, no second thoughts, just pure comfort.

Love this clean calm space-the balcony was wonderful. Mark was super responsive, checked in on us and we had everything we needed-especially in the kitchen. Great location for walking to restaurants and stores. Will definitely stay again!

The place was exactly what we hoped for. Very clean and tidy. There were extras of the things you need extras of. Great location!

Definitely perfect location walkable to everything and host is super responsive, would stay again.

This was my first Airbnb experience and it was exceptional! The host communicated very well and was very responsive. The condo was very clean and the location was great as it was super close to great restaurants and local shops. I would definitely rent again!
