Our first ever trip to DC
There really are not the right type of words to succinctly but adequately share how much our family enjoyed staying at Cheryl's gem of a house on Captain's Row. It was way better than the listing described. So many thoughtful touches, a perfect location, very comfortable beds and seating areas, and plenty of room to relax and enjoy our downtime before and after sightseeing. It was such a privilege to be steeped in a deeply historical house with furnishings and art to accentuate the experience. Cheryl was a gracious and attentive host. I've never finished a stay in a vacation rental thinking that I would plan my next trip to the same location around the rental's availability. I will definitely do so for Cheryl's place!

Perfect historic home
This was the perfect place for exploring old town, walking the river path, and just hanging out for Christmas away from home with our DC-based son. Wonderful old house quirks yet modern bathrooms. Would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely gorgeous
We wanted to celebrate some of the holiday in historic Alexandria and experience the Scottish weekend. This property went beyond what we expected. Most rentals are never better than you’ll see in the listing; this property was all it showed and better. Felt like home, walking distance to park, shopping, and restaurants. Bed was super comfy and the bathroom had SO MUCH SPACE. Cannot compliment this host enough.

A gem on Captain’s Row
Wonderful getaway in this immaculate time capsule. The owner was delightful, the check-in seamless, right down to the convenient parking permit. The neighborhood was charming, and our only regret is not having enough time to nose around. We look forward to our next stay!

Great location. Walking to all restaurants and shops. Never moved the car in 3 days! Cheryl was very easy to work with and gave good suggestions for local living and exploring! Steps to upstairs bedroom are steep. Rope handrail is helpful. Modern kitchen and exceptional master bathroom! Nice game table as well.

Like stepping back in time a century or two
I can't say enough good things about this place! Not only is it an historic property on "Captain's Row" in Old Town Alexandria (carefully restored and updated with all the modern conveniences), but Cheryl has decorated and furnished it with extremely good taste and sensitivity for the period. It must have cost a fortune. Right outside the front door on Price Street appears to be the favorite spot for anyone shooting a video or taking photographs. It's the center of the universe in Old Town! Don't miss it! I can't recommend it enough!
