The house was truly amazing. I could not find a speck of dust or dirt. Barbara and Tyler were awesome communicators getting back to us almost immediately. The location is about 15 min from the beach and Washington St shopping by foot so easy to get around. Bikes are ideal. I would absolutely rebook for next year and are working on time for next summer.

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.
