My family of 4, my brother’s family of 5 and my mom rented this house over Christmas and it was perfect. 5 adults and 5 kids ages 12-19. There was plenty of space for us - the best being that the kids had their own living space downstairs with their bedrooms and a common area with a mini kitchen and a ping pong table and foosball table (that converted to a small pool table). Krissia was really responsive to my questions before the trip and during it. The house had recent renovations before our arrival, and there was a minor plumbing issue that resulted in very little water pressure. We had a moment of panic on Christmas Eve morning when we couldn’t shower. Krissia responded right away, we made a temporary solution and then she sent her contractors over that day. ON CHRISTMAS EVE. I’m so grateful for that bc that would have been a disaster. She owns the house nextdoor and she lives nearby. The house was clean, comfy and everything was labeled in the kitchen. They left a duralog out on the fire pit. Such nice details. The neighborhood is fine with 236/Duke St. being really close. I went for a run and felt safe, and there’s a neighborhood pool and a middle school nearby, meaning there are options to get kids out and get them moving. There’s also a huge backyard. Bring a football or soccer ball! If we do this trip again I would 100% rent from here again.

Amazing
My family and I came down for our kids Football Tournament and we had an absolutely wonderful time at the house. We were able to contact the host about a few things we noticed and they responded almost immediately. Thank you again and if we head back this way we will definitely hope to stay at your lovely home.

Perfect for what we needed.
Family coming in from all over the place...4 different states. Some arrived by car and some via Reagan National. Central location was perfect for us as we used the place as our home base while putting a family member to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Everyone was pleased.
Bedrooms were great. Kitchen had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out were easy peezy.
