Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Washington

Absolutely perfect for our 2-night stay with our adult son! The space was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed. Though it’s a basement apartment, it felt totally private and peaceful. The living area was huge—with a ping pong table, bar seating, and a sectional big enough to sleep two. The hosts also provided comfy twin mattresses that worked great for our son. 1.5 baths made things super convenient for the three of us, and check-in was a breeze. We never saw the hosts in person but felt completely taken care of—super responsive and thoughtful. Plus, Hyattsville is an awesome, safe little town with fun bars, restaurants, and easy access to DC. We’ll 1000% stay here again!

This was, I believe, our 5th year staying at Kate’s. Always comfortable - always spotless! In fact, this is by far the cleanest Airbnb we have ever booked. Kate is a very responsive host as well - super helpful with any questions we have ever had! We will continue staying here for our annual NIH visit as long as it is available to us! Thank you for sharing your space with us!

We had a very pleasant five day stay at Esther’s White House. The property was immaculate every way and had everything that you would require to make for a worry free stay. Esther made sure we felt welcome and her level of communication was just right. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and loved the quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.

We loved staying here. Quiet, central location near the zoo and cathedral. So nice to get away from the tourist hordes of the national mall. We felt right at home in this clean, comfortable apartment. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Thanks for a great time. This place is beautiful. Clean and comfortable!

Jennifer’s place was awesome! Easy commute to the metro. perfect for the week my mom and I stayed. Surrounded by restaurants

Julia’s place was exactly what we were looking for. Clean, easy to get to, and a comfortable bed. We didn’t use all the amenities because we were out exploring the city but it was definitely worth every penny!

This place is better than the pictures! Very clean and perfect for two people! Will recommend to everyone. I go to Maryland a few times a year and I will make this my number one choice!

This was such a cute place. It was surrounded by such great Capitol Hill life. We were shocked by how friendly and safe the neighborhood was. So many people out walking, kids playing, we even saw a youth soccer practice at the park. We also LOVED the stay! The kitchen has everything you need, the bathroom is beautiful and there is 0 light that peeps in the bedroom so you can get a great nights sleep!! It did rain for us a bunch so we weren’t able to use the outdoor seating much, but its right outside the door. It was clean, spacious and unique! Highly recommend

This was my second stay at this Airbnb, and it was just as fantastic as the first—if not better! Returning felt like coming back to a peaceful little retreat. The space remains just as charming, clean, and thoughtfully put together, with every detail designed for comfort and ease. This time around, I was able to fully enjoy the private outdoor patio, and it truly elevated the experience. Whether sipping coffee in the crisp morning air or winding down with a cocktail in the evening, it quickly became my favorite spot to relax. The hosts continue to go above and beyond—warm, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making every stay exceptional. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Still highly recommend without hesitation!

It was a great and very calm place to stay!

We stayed here for a weekend for an event at the RFK fields. It was amazing. We were a 10 minute walk to there. It was wonderful. The place was perfect size for the two of us and had everything we needed! We will be back!

Stayed at Erin’s place for a night and wish it was longer! The room is steps away from the restaurant I met with my friends at. It is situated near all that Del Ray and the rest of Alexandria has to offer. In addition, the bed was quite comfortable and the suite itself is quite luxurious.

I stayed at Melis's basement apartment for a week while doing some work at the Folger Library. It was perfect, and just as described. Melis's apartment was spotless, had everything I needed, and Melis was a great host. She was extremely welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The area towards Capitol Hill is delightful - green, leafy and very walkable. There is easy public transport to Union Station from the H Street Streetcar, buses also nearby, or just walk! It's only 30 minutes to Capitol Hill, or 20 minutes to Eastern Market. There are good supermarkets and restaurants within 5-10 minute walk of the apartment. The facilities in the apartment are just as described and it was great to be able to cook while I was there, as well as enjoy DC's great restaurants. Highly recomend!

Our family of four had a lovely 3-night stay at Son's place. While the space isn't very large, it's incredibly cozy and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need—from laundry and dryer to a study desk, cable TV, and a fully stocked kitchen. The location is convenient, about a 30–40 minute walk to many of the major museums, memorials, and monuments. Son and Heath were exceptionally friendly and offered great recommendations on nearby attractions and restaurants. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return!

This is the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at. Everything you could think of was provided. Very clean. Great instructions and Guest Guide. Large 1 bedroom/1 bath basement apartment.

We had a wonderful stay at Lauren’s place and would highly recommend to anyone traveling to DC!

Celia was one of the most accommodating hosts that I have encountered. She allowed an early check-in and late checkout. She had apples, bananas and nuts for snacks in addition to coffee beans and even a couple of containers of milk, so I didn’t have to run out for coffee. The space is in a historic house in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It was quiet and there was a nice, private porch outback, which was a great spot for reading. The neighborhood itself is lovely with well maintained yards. A Metro station is about 1/2 mile away which allows easy access to all parts of DC. We were so happy with the accommodations, so I highly recommended Celia’s place.

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.

Very nice and quiet apartment in great Capitol Hill neighborhood. Walkable to many places including the Capitol building itself. Updated, very tasteful and clean. Enjoyed the stay, definitely would come back.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful condo. Pristinely clean and spacious with everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved the modern decor and appreciated the extra thoughtful amenities. A wonderful place to return to after a long day of walking in DC. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.

We had a peaceful stay. It was quiet, clean and all house instructions were detailed and easy to follow. Communication was good and efficient! So much nicer than any local hotel 😊

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!
