Sunny, Stylish Carriage House

Welcome to my private carriage house retreat! This stylish and quiet guesthouse with a blend of old farmhouse and modern features is a block from the heart of the Del Ray neighborhood. Separate from the owner’s home, the sunny second-floor guesthouse combines privacy, style, and convenience to nearby shops and restaurants. Features a kitchenette, stylish sitting and bedroom with tons of light, heart pine floors, bathroom with radiant floor heating, high-speed internet, and ample storage.

The kitchenette has two hot induction hot plates with pots and pans, but there is no oven; a microwave; a refrigerator; and a Keurig coffeemaker and drip coffeemaker. There is a washer/dryer all-in-one unit in the kitchen (detergent below the sink).

The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The radiant floors in the bathroom are great!

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed.

And would appreciate taking shoes off in the apartment (there's a basket for shoes under the rack at the top of the stairs). Please don't place shoes on the couch (I know, commonsense!).

Very comfortable property in perfect neighborhood

We stayed at the property for 5 weeks while our home was going through a renovation. The location was perfect for our needs and, knowing the neighborhood well, we were incredibly pleased with the convenience. The property was just as described and would highly recommend.

Great place to stay!

The carriage house was everything we hoped it would be- sunny, spotless and super comfortable! It is located in a great little neighborhood within walking distance to shops and restaurants. On street parking was easy to find and convenient. I definitely recommend it and we will be staying there again on our next visit to the city.

Perfect Alexandria getaway apartment

This carriage house apartment was exactly as described. It was really clean and furnished beautifully. It was much better than staying in a hotel due to the family room area and kitchenette. It has street parking, but it was never a problem to find a spot. It was close to downtown DC and Mount Vernon. Patrick was very responsive and the check-in and check-out process was really easy. Would be happy to stay here again!

Fabulous Stay

The Carriage House was fantastic! It was even better than the pictures portrayed! Super clean and in a neat neighborhood, .4 mile walk to metro station. Then a quick 10 minute ride to National Mall on yellow line. Returned on the blue line that took us to Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon. Just five minute drive from airport! We will stay here again if traveling to DC!! Easy access to everything!

Perfect for two, spacious, kitchen with everything you need, comfortable bed and nicely decorated throughout. Patrick has done a great job setting this place up for a very comfortable stay. Really impressed with his great communication. The neighborhood very quiet, plenty of parking, well kept and safe, walking distance to the little downtown area. The apartment has many windows, which is wonderful for light, but also the window treatments provided a nice sleeping environment, which is huge for us! Can't say enough about this place!

Way better than a hotel

I talked my husband into trying this VRBO after i read all the reviews and we were not disappointed. We loved our stay here, it was like home away from home. Booking was easy and Patrick was always there when i had any questions. Check in and check out was trouble-free. The place was very clean, which we much appreciated. Very comfortable, with all the amenities mention on their page. I was even able to use the washer/dryer as we had been traveling a few days before and was down on clean clothes, so that came in very handy. Parking which I was worried at first, turned out to be not an issue, always found a spot out front. We really enjoyed this cottage, we were able to make our oatmeal in the mornings and drink our coffee in comfort. Thanks to Patrick for offering this alternative to a hotel, it made our trip so much nicer.

Perfect for a single or a couple who don’t plan to cook

The apartment is even prettier than it appears in the photos, and it affords privacy in an attractive, quiet and very safe neighborhood populated by friendly families and dog walkers. There are windows on three walls which flood the rooms with natural light and provide plenty of fresh air. I found the bed and sofa to be very comfortable. The location is perfect, with Mt. Vernon Ave a short walk away, where you can enjoy great local shopping, restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops. And, the National Mall and downtown DC are a mere 20 minute drive. One word of caution: the kitchenette is not for cooks-! There is no stove or oven but two hot plates are provided in addition to the microwave. You’ll find basics such as plates, glassware, mugs, flatware, utensils and pots and pans, but no large serving bowls, casserole dishes, mixing bowls, etc. While some rentals have a stock of commonly used spices and other basics, this one provides salt and pepper and a couple bottles of leftover olive oil. Last, there is no dishwasher. So…if you don’t care to do much cooking and don’t mind hand washing your dishes, this is a very cute, clean and comfortable apartment that I recommend very highly!
