Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Chesapeake and Ohio Canal

Just stayed this weekend!! it was 4 of us staying and spacious and accommodating for all of us!! 100% recommend, hosts were absolutely amazing!! Beautiful space and great if you have a pet!! We definitely want to stay here again!

Phil is one of a kind. I booked with him because his home is in the same neighborhood as the family I was visiting. I was expecting just a place to stay, but Phil's place is an experience. What a kind, gentle soul. He cooks a great breakfast, but it's the conversation that comes with it that makes a stay with Phil worth it.

I enjoyed my stay here. The place had everything I needed and plenty of space. I'd stay again the next time I'm in the area.

I gave this 5 stars, and it deserves it. It's a full basement, nearly full kitchen in the bar area. It's decorated like a cool rec room. ( Looks like a fancy, high end "man cave" - low beautiful lighting, a brand new ping pong table, winsporting, beer and wine decorations) But look at the pictures. It's not " cozy". It's cool.

Melody’s hospitality goes beyond and above she makes the place not only physically beautiful, but also comfortable and cozy!!! Melody’s place have the right space for different activities such as a sleeping area, a TV room, a comfortable eating area which is not a full kitchen, but it has the basic items for you to enjoy a cup of coffee, small fridge with freezer. It also offers a small private room that you can use as “private office” separate from the other areas. Melody responds very fast for any inquiries prior, during and after your stay. The area is very safe and has different activities to do specially outdoors. I will definitely book again at Melody’s place! Thank you Melody for letting me have a such a relaxing and enjoyable time.

This was a great find near our family in Arlington. The room was clean and just as described. Will hopefully stay again next time we visit our family in the neighborhood. Thanks Michael!

Great Airbnb in the basement of hosts home upstairs. It was super clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Just a short walk to grab a bus to anywhere you would want to go in DC. Nice, quiet part of town, yet still super close to everything. I would recommend.

Deena was very helpful, responsive, and kind. She was also really accommodating to our needs. It was two of us and we had plenty of space, everything was clean and easily accessible. There’s also bus stops nearby which made getting around D.C. easy.

Prime location with pristine and comfortable accommodations. Mark was quick to respond to messages and very helpful. We would definitely recommend this apartment to any individual or couple looking for a cozy respite.

Emi, thank you so much for everything! He was very helpful in everything, always very kind, and very clean, beautiful place and very quiet area, everything was easy, I🫶🏼 would stay again and recommend this beautiful place ❤️

Very responsive host. The side yard is very nice for people with dogs that travel. Location is very nice but DC traffic during rush hour can be rough but this can be planned for. Would stay again.

Trish’s place was very clean , cozy and spacious! She is a very polite host and we would certainly come back if visiting Bethesda again!

Rodrigo and Monica were wonderful hosts, I would 100% recommend this location to anyone interested, as a busy graduate student the amenities at this location saved me lots of time and it was well worth the trip!

Quaint basement studio with ample space and very roomy. Can comfortably sleep 2-3 adults. The most beautiful backyard. Has all the amenities.

The place has all the amenities like cooking, great shower, has a washing machine and dryer. Has netflix access so you wont bored. Easy access to highways. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. We have a great time staying in this place.

Excellent Airbnb. Very clean and comfortable. Host was very welcoming, helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Occaquan was peaceful, relaxing, and very much needed. Arriving to the parking lot was a breeze, only because if John's specific instructions to find it, that was very much appreciated after a long drive. Walking into the place, first impression, looks just like the picture. The very next thought, "how cute is this". From the beautiful window behind the couch with a lovely tree to watch birds in to the cozy feeling of being in a familiar place. This place is quiet, surrounded with beautiful historic scenery, and has many local shops and vendors to spend an afternoon exploring. We walked down to the park by the water way and learned some history while soaking up the sun and the breeze of nature. I absolutely recommend John's place for a stay. I know I will be returning for a simple, relaxing get away, once again! Thank you John for everything!

Exactly as advertised. Quiet and convenient.

Tucked in the heart of Bethesda with a quiet charm that somehow still feels central to everything, this stay was a gem. Getting around was a breeze—whether by foot, metro, or last-minute snack run to the 24/7 CVS or 7-Eleven. The apartment itself? Immaculate. Fully stocked with everything we could possibly need—and then some. The internet didn’t blink, the TV was streaming-ready (a blessing for our nightly Netflix ritual), and we barely had to buy a thing beyond food. Rodrigo was the kind of host you wish all hosts were—attentive, responsive, and refreshingly clear with every detail. Winston, the building manager, was also incredibly kind and helpful. Bonus points for the cozy terrace, which turned into our favorite nighttime hangout spot. All in all, one of the most exceptional Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Would come back in a heartbeat—no hesitation, no second thoughts, just pure comfort.

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!

very nice place and very well situated. It is clean, decorated with taste (lovely plants) and has everything you need! beds are also very comfortable. I definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Close to cafes, restaurants, the metro. Ida’s instructions were great and the accommodation was exactly as described. We loved the accommodation and the neighbourhood and would choose to stay here again.

Great apartment! Sean’s apartment is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is completely quiet at night and the bed is good. There is a good vibe in the neighbourhood and the apartment is less than five minutes from a Green Line metro station that will take you directly to the best art museums in the city. Sean and his co-hosts are very helpful and responsive. I hope to come back to Washington one day and if that happens, I will definitely try to book Sean’s apartment again. Thank you Sean, Megan and Loren for all your helpfulness and a lovely stay!

Jamil & Rania, are easily the most responsive hosts we have experienced on AirBnb. They made everything from check in to check out so easy; got back within minutes on any questions or concerns. The pics do not do the apartment justice. The decor and layout is in such good classic taste, everything from the wonder sofa, bathroom fittings, Master bed is the most comfortable bed ever slept in and sheets, duvet and pillows are high quality. Going to see if we can buy that mattress:-) Kitchen is very well stocked in terms of dishware, pots and pans etc, Coffee maker and k cups an added bonus, Dis-washer super easy to use. Work desk as super addition for log in to check work emails - wi-fi excellent. Sofa amazing as is mirror and walk in closet. Give them 5 stars, definitely stay again; definitely recommend! Thank to you both!
