Nice place for a couple

Accommodation was clean, comfortable and very well equipped with whatever you might need.Door lock was a bit hard to negotiate, we needed a few attempts each time before it unlocked. But it eventually did.Owner was very responsive and helpful with great recommendations (including leaving printed info and overall stay instructions in the house).His own house is right next door so despite having the whole place for yourself, you share a wall - so whatever loud noise anyone makes, the other side can hear. The street is quiet and the street parking right in front of the house was always available and the location was good, 10-15 minutes to Cape May’s local shopping.Overall it was a nice stay and we had a very enjoyable long weekend!

Perfect Place

The Osprey Nest was the perfect getaway for me and my husband. It had everything I care about: clean, extremely comfortable bed, decorated in good taste, and great location. Craig was truly a super host, welcoming and available if needed. He really knows the area, and since my interest was birding, Craig pointed me to all the best spots.

It was only three nights, but enough that I know that the next time I plan a visit to the Cape May area I will be looking ere first. Quiet, clean, easy to get to from beaches, shopping and dining, this one bedroom apartment has it all - including a helpful and easy going host. It's clean and stylish and quiet. There is easy parking and a dedicated space in front. Ten minutes to Cape May beaches and city center.

Quiet and convenient

The property was very clean, and the owner was always accommodating, since he was very easy to get in touch with, even when he was out. We haven’t stayed in one of the Cape May area’s residential neighborhoods before, so this was a treat. We discovered some beaches and places to relax, which we would not have found if we were not at this particular place.

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!
