The house is beautiful! The beach is calm and pleasant. The bay provides stunning views and access to everything you could ask for. We brought 4 families with kids from infant to college age and never lacked access to activities and entertainment - rain or shine, even if we never left the property. The owners/manager were incredibly quick to respond to every question or concern. Everything was outstanding!

This property was well stocked with everything we needed and more. We stayed here with a group of 4 families including grown children. The upstairs dorm like area with the pool table was perfect to create a kids space. The master bathroom with the heated floors was a true delight. There was damage to the golf cart upon arrival however after quick communication with the house manager we learned that they were already aware. The grill was very very dirty we took multiple attempts to clean it however it still left some residue in our food. We were slightly disappointed that the canopy over the outdoor kitchen/grilling area was missing but we thought ahead and brought our own large canopy to help provide some shade. The fire pit was perfect for late night outdoor movie watching and banter. The beach was a nice peaceful spot to enjoy during the day. We also enjoyed the whole house sound system as we were able to play music at different spots throughout the house and outdoor areas. Overall we enjoyed the space and spent most of our time in the back deck dinning area. Which was perfect for morning coffee and dinners.

Wonderful stay and wedding celebration

Our families had the best week in the Osprey House. We enjoyed the large kitchen and dinner table, the BBQ, the sound system, ping pong, pool, and the firepit. There was everything we needed to make lifelong memories. We hosted our wedding celebration in the backyard with 40 guests. There are some local vendors which were great to work with (Apryl from the TarraDean Studio for hair/makeup, Minkle Boys Catering, and Northeast Party Rentals). The host Brian and the house manager were very communicative and friendly.

Beautiful spacious home! Host was very communicative and helpful. The beach and grounds were wonderful! Loved being able to use the golf cart for my older family members. The pool table, ping pong table and multiple tv rooms made it easy to vacation with a group aged 14 to 80. Thanks!

After cancelling our 2020 wedding due to covid, my husband and I finally had the opportunity to celebrate our marriage with a 5 year anniversary celebration here. The property is GORGEOUS. There's a ton to do, from swimming to playing pool to volleyball and so much more. The indoor sound system is AMAZING and I had so much fun putting different playlists on for each room. The backyard was perfect for the ceremony. The patio became a dance floor and the sand volleyball court was the perfect size for a 20x40 tent. There was plenty of room for 75 guests. Overall, we had an amazing time and Brian was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process.There were a few things I wish we'd known beforehand that would've made the weekend go even more smoothly. 1. The golf cart was in the repair shop while we were there. My family was pretty disappointed because we were relying on it to take my dad, who has difficulty walking, to the dock to enjoy the water. 2. The AC broke so the upstairs rooms got very hot and uncomfortable for our guests. The property manager said this couldn't be fixed until after we left. 3. If you're hosting an event, like we did, you will be responsible for any excess trash that doesn't fit into the provided bins (2 recycling and 2 trash). I would plan ahead to have a dump run. I struggled with getting one scheduled last minute. Thankfully, Brian offered to take care of our trash since the golf cart and AC had broken. We were so grateful!!!THANK YOU!!!!!

Perfect House for Multiple Families

We stayed here for a wonderful week. We had toddlers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all under one roof, and the layout of the house was perfect for everyone to have space and hang out in the communal spaces at the same time. It was a quick walk to the beach, and the town js locely, but honestly enjoyed 90% of our time on the property. Can’t wait to return next year.

Small Family Wedding

My spouse and I held our small wedding ceremony on the property, along the beach and reception in the backyard. It was PERFECT! The views are incredible, the outdoor kitchen/bar and fire pit help create a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We were able to spend several days and nights along with a few close family members and friends. There was plenty of space for everyone and multiple guests stated how amazing the property is. I would highly recommend the space to stay as well as host an event!

Beautiful home, lovely location

Had a wonderful stay at Osprey Nest. The home is perfect for a family gathering, with lots of space for getting together but also with a layout that allows for plenty of privacy when desired. Check in was seemless and easy, the host was there when needed and invisible otherwise, and the house/grounds were exactly as described and had everything you could want.

Great get away

The Osprey Nest was the perfect location to have our small wedding along with a post mini vacation. It was a huge plus we were able to bring our dog along, too. The golf cart was definitely helpful and we loved gathering around the fire pit at night. Also, it’s in the perfect location if you want to leave and explore the cape or even take the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Swanton

Host profile image
Brian & Leah met in the early 1990's at Arizona State University and reside in Phoenix, Arizona where they raised their 3 children. Leah was born and raised near Des Moines, Iowa, and Brian grew up in a large family in Quincy, MA. They often travel back to Massachusetts to visit Brian's family, which led them to purchase their dream vacation home at the gateway to Cape Cod on Buzzard's Bay.

Why they chose this property

We are excited to share this beautiful home with you and your family and friends. Each time we come back to New England, we are always searching for the perfect vacation rental property to host our family reunions. After many years of renting vacation properties ourselves, we finally found the perfect home… so we decided to buy it. Since we cannot be here as often as we would like, we decided to share it with you. We know you will love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This home is called 'The Osprey Nest' because of the giant osprey nest sitting atop a pole in the conservation area in the backyard. A family of ospreys reside in that nest from March through September each year. This home is truly one of a kind. Nowhere else can you find this level of seclusion while being surrounded by so many nearby activities such as shopping centers, water sports, golf courses, water parks, etc. It's truly the best of both worlds. With stunning views of the famous Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge, this home will make you want to sip your wine on one of the three back porches and take in the sights and sounds of Buzzards Bay. Just minutes to the Bourne Bridge, the beauty of this home is that you do not have to cross the busy bridge to get to the home. During the summer months, the harbormaster's launch service will pick you up from your dock and take you to Onset Beach to dine during sunset, and then take you back to your dock after dinner. The private beach is soft and sandy and the water is so clear that you can see the ocean floor from 8 feet above. The only thing between you and the private beach is 15 acres of protected conservation lands. With dedicated paths throughout the conservation area, you can pull out the golf cart from the golf cart garage in the backyard (included with the home) and drive down to the beach with your coolers and chairs, or simply stroll 300 yards to the beach on foot. Take full advantage of the special events offered all summer long by the Onset Bay Association, as well as recreational activities offered by the Buzards Bay Coalition... right in your own backyard. You can also have bikes, kayaks or stand-up paddle boards delivered right to the home! You can drive the golf cart to Little Harbor Country Club to play golf, take a narrated cruise from Onset Beach down the Cape Cod Canal, or walk from the house to the Mass. Audubon Society's Great Neck Wildlife Sanctuary. It's your own Kennedy compound.
