Close the door, pull the blackout shades, and disappear into a king canopy bed wrapped in botanical wallpaper โ€” your private retreat after every D.C. day.
Sink into one of two queen beds after a day exploring D.C. โ€” crimson accents, soft throws, and wide windows that let the morning light do the waking.
Resort-style amenities including the pool, sun deck, and landscaped grounds are all included with your stay. (Seasonal)
Step onto your private balcony for morning coffee with sweeping city views and fresh air, just steps from the living room.
Dinner for eight with landscape art on the wall and sliding glass doors to the balcony โ€” this table is where the best stories from your D.C. day get told.

The apartment was clean, perfect for the 5 of us. The location is walking distant to the metro, shops and restaurants. We just parked and never used our car the entire time. There's also a small convenient store in one of the buildings that was perfect for a last minute grab. The host made this experience so easy and nice. They always responded quickly and followed up on how things were going. We had a great time visiting dcm!

Our family of 4 had a great stay at this condo and the people running it were extremely communicative (word?) from booking all the way to when we had to check out. The location is great because you're a few walkable blocks to the Crystal City Metro (Blue/Yellow lines) to your north and also a couple of walkable blocks to the south to get to some good restaurants. We drove and had no issues finding surface parking spots. There were three right up by the building and then a larger lot on the south side of the building that was never full. A couple negatives, there is construction of a new tower going on to the north of this complex (which is fully disclosed on the VRBO site) with work starting at 7am each day during the week. The hosts offer up some sound machines and fans to help cover the noise. Also, we happened to be in the area during near record warmth, so the heating was still on for the full building, with no options for AC. They do have fans, but the windows don't open much, so it got a bit warm on those nights. Not a problem once they switch over. Regardless, our family felt very safe, even walking around in the late evening hours from the restaurant or metro stop and would recommend this place for any families looking for a good spot to use on their DC vacation.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hello! I specialize in creating premium accommodations for guests who value privacy, comfort, and efficiency. I understand that whether you are visiting for a family tour of the monuments or meetings at Amazon HQ2, a smooth stay is essential.

I take pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and offering amenities that actually work for real life, like fast WiFi, dedicated workspaces, and incredibly comfortable beds. I spent a great deal of time scouting the perfect location for these suites and carefully selected this specific unit to ensure the best possible experience for my guests. I look forward to providing you with a seamless stay in Arlington.

Why they chose this property

I chose National Landing (Crystal City) because it offers the perfect balance: immediate access to Washington D.C. without the stress of staying right in the middle of the crowds. It is incredibly connected, you can walk to the Metro and be at the Smithsonian, the National Mall, or the White House in minutes.

Being just a 5-minute drive from Reagan National Airport (DCA) and a short walk to Amazon HQ2 makes travel seamless. Beyond the convenience, I love that the neighborhood feels safe, walkable, and vibrant, with plenty of great restaurants, shops, and parks right outside your door. It really is the best possible launchpad for exploring the Capital Region.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets this suite apart is the sheer amount of space. At 1,200 square feet, this is a genuine residence, not a cramped rental. Having two full bathrooms is a game-changer for families and groups getting ready in the morning, and the separate dining room allows for real shared meals.

Unlike many city stays, you donโ€™t have to compromise on amenities here. The free parking is a rare luxury in Arlington, and the private top-floor balcony offers a quiet retreat with unobstructed views. Combine that with the building's Olympic-size pool and fitness center, and you get the comfort of a large home with the perks of a high-end hotel.
