Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Bowie

I stayed here while visiting a friend in DC, and the apartment itself was exactly my speed: comfortable, no-fuss, in a classic 1950s building, and a perfect view of the Capitol ( the balcony was perfect for morning-coffee contemplation). Everything was clean and as expected (ie: the WiFi and A/C saved my life). The free parking spot was also a major W against the hellscape of DC street parking. The host was genuinely the best. Every little question I had was answered kindly, which made the stay EASY. Also, having access to the gym was a nice touch (OK I mostly stared at the treadmill and called that cardio). Anyway, If you’re looking for something simple, well-located, with a direct window into DC, this is your spot. I’d absolutely stay here again.

The place is nice in a great neighborhood right next to the park, and is really worth it when it’s less than all the hotels in the area. My only note is that you go down the stairs and enter the basement apartment directly- there is no separate door or key separating this space from the rest of the building and other tenants could come down if they were inclined. The bedroom door locks when you’re in it for your safety, but there is no key or code to safely lock your possessions in when you leave for the day. This was the only, but significant drawback of an otherwise great place. Although the place felt safe, we didn’t know the people there and therefore did not feel comfortable leaving our valuables in the apartment, so we had to carry our laptops, tablets, jewelry and passports for the day.

Absolutely loved this space. The location is great and allows for exploration of the city. The space itself was clean and spacious. My favorite piece was having access to the gym within the Fairmount hotel (if im not mistaken). Lastly, host(s) are extremely responsiveness. I had questions about the property prior to booking as i was booking extremely last minute and I received a quick response.

Let me start off by saying that my Husband and I had an absolutely AMAZING time staying at Hussain's place! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectation. The communication with Hussain was always smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and were given a tour of the property. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, with a Starbucks, Smoothie King, Nail Spa, and Organic food store, all nearby. In the neighborhood, there were several hiking trails. We enjoyed exploring the area and found plenty of great dining options nearby. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend Hussain and his property highly enough. Thank you for such a memorable stay—we will definitely be back!

Everything was perfect! Very clean and comfortable, and within walking distance from metro station. It was everything that we needed. Thank you for having us and can’t wait to be back in the future!

Cute & spacious boho apartment. My family of 5 was very comfortable inside. Metro & restaurants were close by (5 min or less walk). Free parking pass was great. Currently there is a lot of construction happening in the parking garage and on the street but it wasn’t too loud and once you got used to the few streets that were closed it was easy to drive and walk around the neighborhood.

The proximity to the Long Bridge Aquatic Center, metro line station, and nearby grocery store , and of course Reagan the airport, store exceeded my ‘close by’ expectations. I was very comfortable in the studio apartment.

Great place in the middle of the city. Views from the balcony at night are great.

The host was more than accommodating and the condo Is exactly as pictured . Great stay

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!

This was an awesome stay! If you have infants their place is a must as it is easily baby proofed and has so many accessible items!

Lucas was great.! Had a few hiccups because of the holiday season and Lucas went above and beyond to help solve the issue!

Very nice place to stay near Gaylord convention center. Super clean condo. All the essentials are there. Lots to do at the resort as well as nearby walking distance. Having a baby in the group we did quite a bit of laundry. A laundry room was on our floor with two washers and four dryers and free of charge. We barely passed anyone on the seventh floor. We would def stay here again.

Where do I start? This was the most perfect place to stay. From the ease of the check-in process to the amenities offered, this was the best AirBNB experience ever. The room looks even better than in the pictures for starters. It was the perfect amount of space for all 6 of my family members. The amenities offered for the kiddos were a game room, pool, and there were activities for all ages hosted by the resort most evenings. Any kind of restaurant you could think of was within walking distance & some even offered a 10-20% discount for staying in the area. The rooms were clean upon arrival. I had 2 issues during my stay and they were resolved within 5-10 minutes of me texting the provided number. Unheard of. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The concierge service even helped us planned our Washington DC activities for the day. I cannot rant and rave enough about this accommodation. Don’t hesitate to book. Do it now!

Trip went very well worth every penny. Owner was very helpful answered whenever we called to help with check in gave us no problems about playing music on their Alexa or living room tv. Would get again for another trip.

Rosalyn's House was laid out perfectly, with lots of natural light and beautiful views of the gardens outside. The two-tone paint on the walls in the living area and nicely selected art was definitely a step above the average rental house. The Kitchen was one of the best equipped we have seen, and we loved the coffee options. The appliances were top notch. Rosalyn was always available to help us with questions and respond with help. The home was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

I travel a lot with a group of 4-7 friends and we have booked many Locations, Melissa's house was the best. I can not list everything that made us feel at home but just to mention a few; The entire house is super clean and things are very well arranged, the kitchen is well stocked. I honestly never seen any other house this stocked, it will be very hard to open a cabinet and don't find what you need. The bathroom are not lacking anything, all the supplies you would want and more. Its in a very quite neighborhood easy to walk, find and access, the yard was very spacious with a perfect back porch. Melissa will proactively communicate and let you know everything in advance which made our stay easy and comfortable. I never had to reach out to ask for anything, and if i did, am sure she would be very responsive. I will be staying here whenever i am visiting the area in the future. Perfect house and worth every minute we had access to it.

What a beautiful home!! We found ourselves just “stuck” in front of the large windows overlooking the river. Communication was quick! Beds were perfect! Lots of games to play and we used the kayaks daily! Even caught crabs. Would love to come back again!

We loved our family stay at the Saint Albans. The house fit all 13 of us comfortably, and it was in a great location. The kids (and adults) loved playing in the backyard. In addition to the stay being great and the house being well-stocked with everything we needed, the owner went above and beyond in assisting us with retrieving something that was left behind after checkout. Thanks Felicia! We would love to stay again.

This is a beautiful place to stay, it’s a quiet and lovely neighborhood and the rental house is so tasteful! I loved having access to their rowing machine and washer dryer too! Great light also!

I stayed at Brendan’s place this past weekend with three of my friends and my dog Atlas, and it was perfect for us! It was steps away from the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall and walking distance from several fun restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who is visiting Baltimore!

A very cute and clean space! Felt like a safe neighbourhood, would definetly return.

Cory's home was perfect for our Thanksgiving. We look forward to future family gatherings and making Cory's home ours again.

Beautiful home. We appreciated that there were plenty of bathrooms, and plenty of space to spread out. Excellent showers and all you could need in the kitchen and pantry for the most part. Dominic was very friendly and attentive, and our family had an excellent time and created wonderful memories together!
