Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Alexandria

We had a great week at Maya’s place. It was like “old school” Airbnb in the best possible ways: a friendly host that meets you and shows you in, random food in the pantry and fridge to snack on, coffee and tea on hand, shampoo in the bathroom. I miss those days! The location was convenient with many restaurants to choose from and 2 metro stops within an easy walk. Comfortable furniture and bed in the unit. Clean. Kitchen well equipped for basic cooking, including a sharp knife (a rarity in Airbnb’s). Plentiful parking in the secure garage under the building. We would definitely return next time we need a place in Ballston!

This is a great place to stay and tour the DC Metro area - provided you have a car. Most days it would take us 30 minutes to get to and from DC though if we hit rush-hour, it was as long as an hour. The space is tidy and great. My kids love the pool, though it was a little cold for me-they swam there every night. Jennifer is great to communicate if you have any needs she gets stuff done right away. Note that there is only one bathroom, which can be a pain if you have a full house of six people. The washer and dryer are small so it will take you longer if you’re used to a full size. She had all the cooking methods and appliances available. The theater room has Netflix and Amazon prime ready for you to watch a show. There is even a popcorn maker. We did not use the gym, but it was nice - comparable to a small hotel gym. Property is in the owner’s basement, so there is some sound from upstairs as identified in the listing. Host stays out of your way but is there if you need anything.

Fairly spacious and clean stay. Train to DC is roughly 15 minute walk, and a decent amount of food/snack options around town. Good hangout space for nights if you decide to stay in as well.

I would like to start by saying Angel was a great host!!! very responsive!! Place was very clean and spacious mention to Angel it felt like home. The community in the area was super nice and clean the inside look very luxury according to my liking so I am not mad at that. Balcony was very spacious!!! just wish it had patio furniture or something where we can just sit outside and relax but its okay hopefully you will considered getting some patio furniture in the near future. I am very pleased with my stay I almost gave 4 stars instead of 5 because there was 2 little minor things that kind of drove me crazy but I decided to still give Angel a 5 star because it was well deserved. I decided I can just mention these minor things in the next section and hopefully these issues will be resolved the next time I book. Book with Angel you wont be disappointed! great host!

We had a great stay in this unit! Both bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the common areas offered plenty of room to relax. The unit comfortably sleeps five adults—though the bunk bed area is more suitable for young children, as it’s quite small and doesn’t have a door. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of dishes and glassware, and the amenities throughout the unit were excellent. Crystal Towers is a beautiful property with an impressive lobby and exterior. While the hallways could use a bit of updating, our overall experience was very positive. The hosts were responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely stay here again!

I truly enjoyed my stay here with my pup. The area was super quiet and serene. Perfect for those seeking a get away from the metros hustle and bustle. Highly recommend! Also the bed was super comfortable. 💕

Extremely helpful and nice host, the place is absolutely stunnig with an amazing view, two perfect bedrooms with separate bathrooms giving us space and privacy. Highly recommend!

Jennifer’s place was wonderful! We had a great stay here, and it was in a nice part of town. Plenty of places to eat as well. The apartment was as described.

Brooke's place was fantastic and it was easy to communicate with her. Everything was clear and as expected. Thanks Brooke!

The host was more than accommodating and the condo Is exactly as pictured . Great stay

Love this clean calm space-the balcony was wonderful. Mark was super responsive, checked in on us and we had everything we needed-especially in the kitchen. Great location for walking to restaurants and stores. Will definitely stay again!

Lucas was great.! Had a few hiccups because of the holiday season and Lucas went above and beyond to help solve the issue!

Very nice place to stay near Gaylord convention center. Super clean condo. All the essentials are there. Lots to do at the resort as well as nearby walking distance. Having a baby in the group we did quite a bit of laundry. A laundry room was on our floor with two washers and four dryers and free of charge. We barely passed anyone on the seventh floor. We would def stay here again.

Great place with nice amenities! We enjoyed our stay, and the host was very communicative.

Rosalyn's House was laid out perfectly, with lots of natural light and beautiful views of the gardens outside. The two-tone paint on the walls in the living area and nicely selected art was definitely a step above the average rental house. The Kitchen was one of the best equipped we have seen, and we loved the coffee options. The appliances were top notch. Rosalyn was always available to help us with questions and respond with help. The home was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

Trip went very well worth every penny. Owner was very helpful answered whenever we called to help with check in gave us no problems about playing music on their Alexa or living room tv. Would get again for another trip.

Very, very clean and spacious. Adrian sent very clear check-in directions and responded promptly to communications. He also provided a thorough guest manual. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The space was more comfortable than in pictures and the gym equipment seemed very nice. We were very happy with our stay.

We loved our family stay at the Saint Albans. The house fit all 13 of us comfortably, and it was in a great location. The kids (and adults) loved playing in the backyard. In addition to the stay being great and the house being well-stocked with everything we needed, the owner went above and beyond in assisting us with retrieving something that was left behind after checkout. Thanks Felicia! We would love to stay again.

Great host! Responded to any questions I had about anything. Place was so clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our visit!

Beautiful home! Exactly like the photos. Spacious, Incredibly comfortable, and so inviting. Fantastic location.

My friends and I had a lovely stay at Michelle’s place. The accommodations were top notch and we felt right at home. Michelle is an incredible host, responsive, proactive, and flexible and pleasant. We will definitely try to stay here again!

The accommodation was beautiful and felt like home. We met Barb and she was so lovely and welcoming. The property is so close to all the historic sites and union station. Bed was comfy, sofa bed, shower n bathroom lovely. Kitchen had all you need. Barb had cookies made for us along with bottle of wine which was lovely touch. I’ll definitely recommend this property and if I get a chance to come back I will stay again.

Incredibly responsive host that helped us with a last minute booking! Very personable, friendly, and accommodating, made us feel very comfortable. Great list of features and amenities and spacious home.

Cynthia's place is exactly as described and pictures represent it well. We were celebrating many occasions with four couples and the home was perfect for a large gathering. The owner communicated well. The location was great for accessing Olde Town Alexandria as well as Mt Vernon. Very enjoyable stay.
