Very cute place with a great view

Very sweet guy.

Great place, we had a family get together and we had a very peaceful weekend. There were so many places to hang out between the porches and dock-side area, big living room and huge dining room table. Very tranquil, I was thoroughly pleased with the home!

The place is exactly as pictured and listed, very cozy for our group of 3 small families. Hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating with all our requests, and there were lots of conveniences such as extra towels and blankets, coffee beans and grinder, toiletries, baking sheets, kid related supplies, and more. Dining and lounge areas will be a tad short on seating for a max group of 8, but we adapted just fine to that. It was below freezing for much of our stay but the house stayed very comfortable for us. We found the area to be quiet, but we aren't sound sensitive so YMMV. There's a large grocery store and quite a few good restaurants within walking distance. DEFINITELY hit up Cafe Dear Leon if you can, it is a bakery in walking distance and all 8 of us raved about every item.

We had a wonderful stay at Enchanted in Alexandria! The space was beautifully stocked with everything we needed, and we felt comfortable and right at home from the moment we arrived. Becky was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was smooth and enjoyable. One of our favorite features was the garden area – so peaceful and charming, and the fire pit made it even more special. If we’re ever in the DC area again, we’ll definitely be booking Enchanted without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Paul is a very responsive host, the location is very close to Gallaudet University and 15 minute walk to Union Market.

From the first time we communicated to the final day of our stay at Pirate's Perch, John was a fantastic host. Very kind and helpful, even recommending local restaurants for us to visit. Thank you, John!

Absolutely beautiful home! highly recommend!

Caroline is an absolutely amazing host! She is so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Home is clean, beds comfortable The location was fantastic – truly walkable to all the cool spots downtown, which was a huge plus. The fence was perfect for letting our pet roam freely and safely outside, and it also created a lovely private space to just sit and relax. We highly recommend staying here!

So charming and exactly what we were looking for. The house had everything we needed and was so cozy. It is within walking distance to so much. I would LOVE to book again!! Thank you!!

Wonderful stay, great location, fabulous hosts, and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!!

Nestled in the tranquil riverside landscape of southern Maryland, just beside the southern Chesapeake Bay, this home is a hidden gem—truly extraordinary in every sense. If you're seeking a brief escape from the bustling energy of Washington D.C. or Baltimore, this haven offers the perfect retreat. We were two families with four children—two young adults heading to college and two spirited middle schoolers—and every one of us, regardless of age, found joy and peace here. From the breathtaking natural surroundings to the simple pleasure of kayaking through calm waters, each moment felt like a gentle reset for the soul. What truly elevated the experience was our host, Shawn. More than just a “super host,” she embodied hospitality in its finest form. Her attention to detail, her care for comfort, and the thoughtful touches throughout the home surpassed even the details of a Hollywood studio setting !

My little family had a blast! Ed was a super communicative host and offered a wonderful place to stay. It was close to and within walking distance to almost everything in Frederick. The house was clean and tidy and we were very pleased with our stay! I would definitely recommend and return to this home in the future.

I was traveling for work in DC area and needed place close by. Really liked the place. I would love to go back if ever I need to stay close to DC.

My sister and I had a nostalgic weekend in Frederick remembering my mom on her birthday. Shannon’s place was perfect. And in walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit. Cute place, very comfortable, kitchen was clean and stocked. The only thing I missed was not having an ice maker. Would definitely stay there again!

We just got back from Jackie's Place! The home was beautifully decorated and clean. It is private, but also close to the best that Alexandria has to offer! We loved walking to coffee shops, restaurants, and shops. We were there to visit colleges for my son and were surprised how close we were to DC and Georgetown. Having the parking spot was also great. We could just leave the car and walk everywhere. Thank you for a great stay!

Our stay at Angelica’s place was comfortable, quiet, and it more than met our needs for the week. The place was clean and stocked with necessities. No frills, but we were there to explore Old Town and downtown DC, not spend our time in an Airbnb. The best part, for us, was being dog friendly. I will say that the house itself sits on a very busy street with no fenced in yard. Leashes are a must, but the neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly. We often took the metro to DC and we were able to walk to both metro stations from the property to avoid parking. That was a bonus! The only curve ball was not knowing the property was a duplex, but going back and looking at the pictures, I should have known. That was on me. All of that to say, the property was well kept, clean, and offered all we needed for a week away from home. Both hosts were also very responsive and answered all questions promptly. No complaints.

Wonderful place. Great location in a beautiful part of DC. Just 5 min to the capital and Walkable to everything. The space was exactly as described. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The neighborhood is amazing with all the old row houses different colors. It included free parking with was great too and the whole neighborhood felt safe. The host replied back quickly with any questions we had before our arrival. 100% recommend. We have zero complaints.

Another great stay with a wonderful host in a lovely house on the water.

Great location. Easy walk to metro, restaurants, stores, park. Peaceful neighborhood! Clean and comfortable. Perfect for our family!!!!

We had a really great stay . My husband and I and our 4 children and 2 dogs stayed and there was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable and the house is clean . The location is pretty great , easy to get around by bus and train or driving.

We had a lovely stay. Very comfortable beds, excellent walkable location, kitchen fully set up for cooking, and the house seemed very well-taken care of. Perfect for a group weekend away, and we'll definitely book again if we're back in the area.

We had an absolutely excellent stay at Jennifer’s place! She was a responsive host, gave us recommendations and instructions were really clear. The home was clean and close to bus stops to the city. Only things I’d say is: A- the bed was really wobbly and I was a bit nervous to move on it because I did g want to wobble it further and B- it would’ve been really amazing if the front door had a covering or curtain as for a bit more privacy but overall, amazing stay!

Such a lovely, comfortable home. Everything we needed. Loved the location. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and neighbors were friendly. There's a park with walking trails and lake half a mile walk away. The house was perfect. Relaxing. Comfortable beds and bedding. The record player was an added bonus, as were the puzzles and board games for the rainy days. Communication was excellent. Answered any questions quickly and was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
