About this property

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!).

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.

LOVED staying here!! Location was fantastic and the neighborhood was so fun. Able to walk to restaurants, shops and parks. Was a beautiful carriage house and so relaxing to return there after a long shift at the hospital. Great location and everything I needed was there! Would definitely stay again!

Lovely Area

We have family that lives within walking distance to this property plus the cute town of Del Ray is only blocks away. The studio apt is bright, clean, updated and very stylish. Loved the open concept and high ceilings. There was amble space for two of us.

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

I loved using this place for a home base while I traveled throughout Alexandria and to DC. Public transportation is easy and many places are accessible through walking. The ease of entry without bothering someone as well as the private space were perfect for me. The air conditioning and ceiling fan made it comfortable in the summer heat and humidity. There is a great washer/dryer so I didn't have to do laundry when I got home. Communication with the owner was easy and quick. I would stay here again without hesitation.

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!
