Stay on Captains’ Row - Old Town Alexandria’s Most Historic Block!

Don't just visit Captains' Row....Stay there! Built in 1769 by Captain John Harper, this historic row house in Old Town Alexandria is located on the famous cobblestoned Prince Street, just steps from the heart of Old Town and a mere block from the Potomac River. Fully restored and decorated with mostly Federalist Period furniture, the mixture of antiques and reproductions will make you feel like you have stepped back in time!
While historic, this two bedroom, two and a half bath home has all the modern amenities that you might want: a fully equipped modern, well-stocked kitchen, lush bathrooms with wall mounted hair dryers & plenty of towels, a washer & dryer, 2 televisions and wifi. The master bedroom on the 2nd floor is furnished with a queen bed, 2 chests of drawers and a small television. The sitting room across the hall leads into the master bath, with a jetted tub and a separate shower. The 2nd bedroom is located on the 3rd floor. It has two comfy twin beds and its own bathroom with a shower.
Located a short block from King Street, you are just steps from the sights, shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Old Town Alexandria. A quick ride by boat, car, or train and you can find yourself at the National Mall, Georgetown, National Harbour & the MGM Casino, or Mt. Vernon, making Old Town an exceptional home base for visiting our nation’s capital. The King Street Trolley is free and runs between the King Street Metro stop and the City Hall, just a short 2 block walk from the house. A block away is the waterfront of the Potomac. Here you will find water taxis that will ferry you to various places on the Potomac, including Georgetown, the Wharf, National Harbor and Mt. Vernon. Also, a Capital Bike Share station and a bike rental business are located steps from the house, making it easy to explore the many miles of bike trails along the Potomac.

Great stay at 103 Prince St
We were in town for our daughter’s wedding around the corner at the Athenaeum and wanted something in the area. We were thrilled with this beautiful home so close to the waterfront and walkable to many attractions in the area. It has everything you need for your stay in the area!

A historic stay
Wonderful historic home in an area where you can feel the history all around you. Walk 2 blocks to the Potomac river. Climb the cobblestone street. Shop, eat and tour minutes from your beautiful red front door. Cheryl was an amazing communicator, warm and friendly and helpful. It was a great experience,

Perfect historic home
This was the perfect place for exploring old town, walking the river path, and just hanging out for Christmas away from home with our DC-based son. Wonderful old house quirks yet modern bathrooms. Would absolutely stay again!

Wonderful getaway in this immaculate time capsule. The owner was delightful, the check-in seamless, right down to the convenient parking permit. The neighborhood was charming, and our only regret is not having enough time to nose around. We look forward to our next stay!

The best location
Where do i start, the house will carry you back in time while staying there. The location is special due to the fact you are one or two blocks from the Potomac, docks, best dining and trolley. We fell in love with Alexandria. We will definitely be going back.

Best Vrbo Experience Ever
Everything about this property and the host was excellent. The location to Washington DC was unmatched by taking the metro into Downtown. The location to Gettysburg and Williamsburg was very convenient. The property itself was just as advertised. Alexandria is a great place to relax after the a long day. The property was historic and well appointed. Great restaurants nearby. The host was the best and easy to communicate with before the trip began. She was very helpful in every way. We have stayed at countless Vrbo's over the years and this was a top three experience for sure.

Great location and historical home
It would be hard to find a nicer area for visiting DC and all of the monuments and museums. The houses location makes walking to restaurants and stores very convenient (lots of food and ice cream to choose from). The house is historic and although modernized, parking, crazy steep stairs, and the upper floor was hard to cool but definitely worth the stay. We would go back.
