OSPREY NEST
300+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviews! Secluded. Peaceful. Near beaches & town
The Osprey Nest is a private & tastefully appointed 3-room suite, perfect for one or two guests. It is hidden in a peaceful, wooded neighborhood just 10 minutes from Cape May’s beaches, restaurants, and attractions. With 12 years on VRBO and and now hundreds of 5 star ratings, this popular seaside tuck-away beckons you to come and relax. Envision yourself on the private front porch sipping a glass of wine after the beach, contemplating Cape May’s amazing restaurants and deciding where to have a lovely dinner. Then you return home to the sumptuous bed for a magical sleep. The owner, Craig, who harks from a family with deep roots in Cape May, has been the resident property manager for over 12 years. The Osprey Nest has recently been completely re-carpeted with resilient carpet and top shelf padding for comfort.

There is an Alexa device for music and local “what to see and do”info, turn on lights, etc. The bedroom features a luxurious queen size new Casper mattress with memory foam topper (5 star rated by most guests) made up with luxury 100% Egyptian cotton and viscose bamboo linens.

Keyless digital entry code Craig, Your Host: Craig lives onsite (in a private adjacent unit), and is a seasoned Cape May expert with deep local roots, history and knowledge. Born into hospitality, a former restaurateur and realtor, now happily retired. Craig is always happy to help answer Guest questions. A warm inclusive host, Craig welcomes all guests, including international travelers, LGBTQ+, and guests with ADA accessibility needs. He has 3 adorable rescued girl dogs - Canela, and Bella, and Luna - Cavalier King Charles Spaniels- who are learning to welcome guests. They are gentle and loving, emerging from their former lives of fear and abuse. Sometimes shy, sometimes they bark, but irresistibly charming girls. Location: Just a 10-minute bike ride to stunning sunsets over Delaware Bay and 15 minutes by car to the beaches of Cape May, Cape May Point, and The Wildwoods. The serene location offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and close proximity to all the area’s highlights.

This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway! Super cozy, has everything you need. Craig was a great host, even left helpful notes around with instructions and answers to any questions you might have. Would definitely stay again!
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!
Quiet and peaceful. It had everything I needed. Enjoyed the very comfy bed and relaxing shower. Convenient parking in front of the property and short drive to local sights and activities. Host, Craig, is great to communicate with.
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.
Very clean and comfortable. Host instructions for access were clear so check in/out was easy. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood within easy driving distance of many points of interest. Was a great place to stay for our first trip to Cape May!

The house is in a pleasant neighborhood. The host was welcoming, friendly and provided great tips on places to see and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable, the place was beautifully landscaped. We’ll definitely return to The Osprey’s Nest.
Very lovely, cozy space with lots of great details that make the stay even more comfortable. The location is near enough to the tourist things but also separate enough to be peaceful and quiet. Craig, our host, was extremely responsive and welcoming.
We have stayed at Osprey's Nest for a number of years, and can't wait to go back. It is always clean, it is close to everywhere, and Craig is a great host!
The accommodations were great, ideal location and we happen to have great weather as well. Our host was very glad to help us in anyway we needed, but was also respectful of our privacy. He knew an incredible amount about our location and shared his knowledge with us.
Great location for visiting all surrounding areas. Did not meet the owner in person but very nice on the phone. Unit felt smaller than the pictures showed and not as private as we were expecting. However, it had everything needed for our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Sept, 2025
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.
We had trouble getting in but Craig responded promptly and figured out the issue (door access set for wrong date). He's really a delightful guy who can defuse a stressful situation well. The apartment was clean, cozy, comfortable, and well appointed with all the amenities. It was a pleasure to meet Craig and be there.
Exactly as described... Great location within 10 minutes of town and beaches. Quiet neighborhood and accomodations were perfect for a short getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Craig
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!
