Minutes from charming Delray - Alexandria - Minutes from Old Town ⊹ Minutes from D.C ⊹ Minutes from The George Washington Masonic Memorial ⊹ George Washington's Mount Vernon ⊹ Fine Dining ⊹ Micro Breweries ⊹ Coffee Shops ⊹ Bakeries ⊹ Public Transit (VRE/Metro) ⊹ Shopping ⊹Alexandria Waterfront This cosy 2 story home has free residential driveway parking and free street parking. Set in a charming and historic Delray neighborhood of Alexandria, enjoy long walks along side-walked streets to view nearby historic homes. Walk to local coffee shops and a gourmet wine market. Drive 10 mins to Old Town Alexandria. Drive 13 minutes via 395 to cross the Potomac into our Nations Capitol, Washington DC. You may also take advantage of one of the several bike/scooter shares that are offered in the area. This property is conveniently located with access to multiple forms of public transportation. Dash Bus: DASH is a local bus service that is free to riders. It travels all over Alexandria, but will not take you into DC. You can hop on the Dash Bus just a few feet from the front door in both directions. WMAT Bus: If you were to take a WMAT bus which travels around Northern VA and DC, you would have to either use your phone, acquire a smartrip card, or have exact change on the bus itself. Metro: We are located about 1 mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over a ½ mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop at the end of our block for the free Alexandria city bus (Dash) that runs directly to the Metro stop. {Trains: Blue and Yellow Lines}. It would take you less than 3 mins by car and probably 10-15 mins to walk to Braddock Station if the weather was nice. Amtrak: Amtrak provides interstate travel and also has a stop at King Street. If headed north, the next stop after King Street is Union Station in Washington DC. Please check their website for schedules and available stops. King Street Trolley: Not really an option from the house, but fun nonetheless if you're in Old Town. The King Street Trolley runs every 15 minutes between Alexandria City Hall/Market Square and the King St – Old Town Metrorail station from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays. That said the closest spot you could pick it up would be about 2 miles down towards Old Town. \*\*There are also ample Uber and Lyft rides in the area. <\> Shirlington Village(Shopping/Dining/Live Entertainment/Movies) ⊹ 2.9 miles The George Washington Masonic National Memorial ⊹ 1.1 miles Old Town Alexandria ⊹ 1.5 miles The Pentagon ⊹ 4.8 miles National Landing/(Crystal City/ Amazon HQ2) ⊹ 3.5 miles Regan National Airport ⊹ 3.5 miles Arlington National Cemetery ⊹ 6.4 miles Lincoln Memorial ⊹ 6.7 miles Vietnam Veterans Memorial ⊹ 6.8 miles Martin Luther King Jr Memorial ⊹ 7 miles Smithsonian Museums ⊹ 7 miles Washington Monument ⊹ 7 miles Jefferson Memorial (Tidal Basin) ⊹ 7 miles International Spy Museum ⊹ 7.5 miles District Wharf ⊹ 7.3 miles United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ⊹ 7.7 miles National Harbor ⊹ 5.5 miles The Capitol ⊹ 8.4 miles Georgetown ⊹ 8.2 miles Capitol One Area ⊹ 8.7 miles The Whitehouse ⊹ 8.5 miles Dupont Circle ⊹ 8.8 miles Adams Morgan ⊹ 10.5 miles Mount Vernon ⊹ 8 miles Potomac Mill Outlet Mall ⊹ 21.8 miles Dulles Airport ⊹ 29.6 miles Quantico Marine Corp Museum ⊹ 40 miles Shenandoah National Park ⊹ 73.8 miles This home provides self check-in through a smart-lock located on the front entry door.

That's precisely the enchanting experience we recently discovered during a delightful stay in this truly special house in Old Town Alexandria. The neighborhood was an undeniable darling, and just a short walk to the Braddock Station Metro stop, which we rode into D.C. daily to see the museums, making it a seamless commute. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed during our stay. For anyone seeking a unique and memorable journey, where stepping into the past is as easy as walking out your front door, this beautiful house in Old Town Alexandria comes with our highest recommendation. ##### Lindi C. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth A. Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming Property! We stayed at this beautiful home for 5 nights while we saw the sights in Washington DC. It was an easy 20 minute drive to DC and staying in this quiet Alexandria neighborhood was a perfect way to get away from the bustling city. The house is as listed and the pictures accurately represent the size and layout. We booked it based on the charm of the decor and it did not disappoint. The home was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Parking was super easy and, although we didn’t have much time to spend there, the outdoor space was nice. The property owners were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to stay in the DC/Alexandria area. ##### Beth A.

Jan 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Property I stayed three nights with my significant other and my mom (age 91). This small cottage was well-maintained, fully functional and beautifully decorated in the Colonial style. Everything was very clean. The communications with the hosts were excellent, clear, well-written instructions and quick responsiveness. The mattresses were super comfortable, however, we found we needed to use a step stool to get in and out of the beds as they are high above the floor. All in all, an excellent experience. ##### Karen D. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara M. Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Did I make the right choice….I DID!!!! I booked this property without consulting my husband or elderly father. I had a quick moment of worry about the stairs for my dad, if window a/c would be enough or whether we should have continued our stay at the hotel. Well I need not have worried at all, they both adored the place, the steps were never an issue, the house stayed cool and living with my father again was priceless!Every part of the house was thoughtfully curated in the colonial style, I felt like I was stepping back in time but with all the current creature comforts. It was especially sweet to see stock groceries, including some spices and of course the fully stocked coffee bar! Not a K Cup machine but the grounds they had smelled delicious….and my dad didn’t complain and he is quite the coffee snob.The beds were amazingly comfortable and my husband and I enjoyed the game table that had chess and playing cards in the drawer. I took advantage of the backyard deck one morning by drinking my tea at the table while listening and watching all the birds and my dad’s favorite, a little chipmunk!I appreciated the off street parking and the central location to restaurants, gas, and medicine. But most of all the hosts! The people that run this property have thought of everything. They were quick to respond to any question and were very personable. If there were awards for best host they would win hands down!Overall we could not have been happier with our stay and we have zero regrets in leaving our fancy hotel. ##### Sara M.

A peaceful suburban atmosphere with easy access to the Washington sites by public transport. It was restful to sit on the pleasant patio after our days out in the big city. Highly recommend. ##### debra b. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARY S.

It has the feeling of living in Virginia during the colonial period. I was expecting George Washington to ring the bell and say hello.Thank you for hosting us- Greg ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lena S.

House next door is pretty sketchy (two abandoned cars in the driveway.) Landscape needs attention as the bushes almost obscured the front door. Hosts were very responsive. ##### Jeffrey N.

We did not have a car and we were doing quite a bit of sightseeing so we were happy the Metro was in close proximity. The hosts were pleasant and accessible through the app or by phone. I thought the living room furniture could have been a little more comfortable for sitting in at the end of a long day, when we gathered to discuss our adventures. The chairs are stiff and hard and appear to be more for design effect rather than practicality. All in all the house is lovely, the hosts are gracious and the area is beautiful. Im not sure if laundry service is offered, but access to a stack able washer dryer would be a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this home and the hosts and I would definitely stay in there proerties again. ##### Noel H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori A.

The Metro was conveniently close - a short walk which made it very easy to get around Washington. The bottle of wine to welcome us was much appreciated. A quiet area.
