We have stayed here twice now...so that says something. Everything is as is represented in the listing. It is true there is not a real kitchen, but where else can you wash your dishes while showering??? The place is "cozy" and well-appointed. The price point is good relative to other Cape May properties as long as preparing meals in house is not a huge priority. Recommended for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at Osprey Nest. Only complaint…. the bed was a little high for two 80 year-olds! We did figure things out, though, and liked the location. It was quiet and peaceful, yet minutes from the places we wanted to visit.

About the host

Hosted by Craig

Host profile image
I am a world traveler and love to meet new people and see new places. I welcome you to my home so you can enjoy this beautiful area full of nature, architecture, beaches and awesome sunsets! I have a very friendly Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Canela who also loves to greet guests. I live in a private area of the house that I built in the year 2000. I am usually available for questions about what to see and where to go in this area. I have lived here most of my life!

Why they chose this property

10 minute drive to Cape May beaches and attractions, 10 minute bike ride to Delaware Bay Beaches and awesome sunsets! A private and secluded setting only minutes from attractions. Relax and enjoy! Cozy and comfortable and clean and quiet! What more could you want for complete relaxation?!

What makes this property unique

My home is my sanctuary! It is well located, only minutes from beaches, fine dining, wineries, shopping, and attractions. I offer comfort and elegance, at an affordable price! Please realize the suite does not offer a full kitchen, however it has a microwave, toaster oven, under counter refrigerator, and Kuerig or French press coffee maker. Osprey Nest is an ideal and peaceful escape for a short stay for guests content to dine out in the many fine restaurants in Cape May, or order a simple carry out meal or pizza!
