Great location to attend a graduation at the Coast Guard training camp at Cape May. Great set up with everything you need in the kitchen as well as multiple bathrooms. Linens were clean. There was plenty of towels and host very responsive to questions.

Very clean upon arrival. Great location for walking to town and beach. Lafayette was pretty busy with traffic the entire stay. The street noise was not a problem inside the house.
Barbara, the property manager/contact was very responsive with a number of questions we had leading up to the stay.
