We stayed at this home for a spring break trip with a family of 6. The fenced in backyard was perfect for my kids (youngest is 2) because there was a lot of room to play/explore and a fence to keep them from wandering off. We had a fire in the fire pit every evening! The location is great. Everything we wanted to do (Maymont, Belle Isle, Science Museum, Carytown) was within 10-15 min drive. The beds were extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed for a family stay (stocked kitchen, laundry, 2 full bathrooms).We parked on the street out front because there was always a spot.I highly recommend this house to another family looking for a Richmond home-base :).

Best short term rental in RVA for us

For our week long stay, this house proved to be outstanding. Fantastic location; very safe and walkable. House was clean. Beds and sofa were comfortable. Property manager was exceptionally responsive. Single story was a huge plus for us. Hope to stay there again in May.

Wonderful Stay

We came to watch our daughter run the Richmond Marathon. The location of this property was perfect as we were able to walk to the marathon route. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for seven of us to stay. Having laundry on site amd two full baths was so helpful. Communication with the host was prompt and seemless. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Awesomeness

Totally enjoyed our stay. The comfort of the home was amazing. Our furry 4 legged child enjoyed the morning let outs and the walks around the neighborhood. Wish I had more time to explore as I was here for work related classes. Will definitely plan on coming back soon.

Nice home in nice neighborhood

I rented this cute house for my niece and 3 children to visit me from Durham. It was close to my condo and easy to find. The house was spotless. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and enjoying the rare pleasant evening without much humidity.

Super convenient!

Overall it’s a clean, quiet brick home on a tree lined street. We were there for a trip with old college friends where we biked all over the city and enjoyed the local restaurants and breweries. A great deal for such a nice place. The fire pit was a nice touch to sit down and enjoy coffee or an evening beverage. Nice bathrooms with all toiletries provided. Cozy kitchen had everything we needed. 10/10!!
