About this property

OSPREY NEST- 5 star reviews• Secluded Cape May Escape• Gardens • Near Beaches

Escape to the OSPREY NEST, a peaceful garden retreat tucked away in a quiet residential setting near Cape May’s beaches, wineries, restaurants, nature trails, and shopping.

Designed for guests seeking relaxation rather than crowds, the OSPREY NEST combines the charm of a secluded hideaway with convenient access to everything visitors love about the Jersey Cape. Guests consistently describe their stay as peaceful, comfortable, spotless, and welcoming. This is reflected in and can be viewed in our many five-star reviews and by the many returning guests year after year.

Wake to birdsong and morning coffee on the private porch surrounded by seasonal gardens. Spend your days exploring Cape May, Sunset Beach, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, wineries, birding trails, and nearby nature preserves. Then return to your own quiet retreat to relax after the energy of the beach and town. Relax on the front porch overlooking the gardens with a glass of wine. Discuss which of the many highly praised restaurants you will go to that evening for a memorable meal.

The suite offers:
• Private entrance
• Comfortable queen bed with rave reviews 
• Cozy sitting area with dual power reclining seating
• Wi-Fi and streaming televisions in both rooms 
• Convenient kitchenette for coffee, breakfast, and light meals
• Modern walk-in shower
• Private porch seating surrounded by gardens
• Convenient parking steps from your entrance

Perfect for couples, solo travelers, birders, winery visitors, and guests looking for a quieter alternative to larger beachfront properties.
Whether you are visiting for beach days, sunsets, nature, wineries, or simply a slower pace, the OSPREY NEST offers a calm and welcoming home base for your Cape May stay. In the shoulder seasons there are many events including music festivals, wine tastings, sidewalk sales, strawberry festival, lima bean festival, and the list goes on ! If you have not yet experienced Christmas in Cape May …that needs to go on the bucket list.

Many guests return year after year to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty that make the OSPREY NEST such a special retreat.. Craig -your host/owner- was raised in the hospitality and restaurant world of Cape May. He graciously looks forward to welcoming all guests. While the OSPREY NEST sadly cannot be pet-friendly for guest pets, 3 friendly resident Cavalier King Charles spaniels are present on the property. The girls welcome guests warmly.

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.

I am sorry some things disappointed you so much, but a 60% rating is so unfair and hurtful to me. Thats like getting a D for a grade! I work hard to provide a Clean and comfortable and uni escape for my guests. My description is very clear about the fact that I share my home with my guests. I’m sorry you felt deceived by the photos. Perhaps next time better to discuss Your disappointment with the host for constructive criticism rather than give them demerits in the ratings. I work very hard and hold my standard high, despite your criticism.

About the host

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!
