About this property

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 10 years 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 Mays amazing restaurants and 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 Space:
Enjoy and relax on the front porch with cushioned seating overlooking a tranquil neighborhood street and lovely landscaped garden. Enter into a cozy sitting room with a full-size sofa and a unique coffee table design; it lifts up to become a full sized dining table or workspace. 40” HD Smart TV, DVD player, and Alexa device for music and local info. The bedroom features a luxurious queen size Casper mattress with memory foam topper (5 star rated by most guests) made up with luxury 100% Egyptian cotton and viscose bamboo linens. There is a Roku TV for streaming your favorite apps, such as Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, etc.
Bathroom:
The remodeled private bathroom includes a marble floor, step-in dual head shower with glass doors, handicap grab bars, and endless on-demand hot water. All high quality bath products supplied by host are quality and carefully curated. There is a high window in the shower and a ceiling fan for ventilation.

Amenities Include:
   •   Private entrance with keyless unique entry code
   •   Beach chairs and Cape May beach tags (please bring your own beach towels)
   •  Please note there is not a full kitchen. Kitchenette offers a toaster oven, microwave, under- counter fridge, Keurig & French press coffee
   •   Beach chairs and Cape May beach tags (bring your own towels)
   •   Complimentary Seattle’s Best coffee pods, bottled water, and half-and-half
   •   Access to full-size fridge if needed

Craig, Your Host:
Craig lives onsite (in a private rear unit), and is a seasoned hospitality expert with deep local roots, history and knowledge. He’s always happy to help with recommendations. A warm inclusive host, Craig welcomes all guests, including international travelers, LGBTQ+, and guests with accessibility needs. His friendly, hypoallergenic dogs, Canela and Bella, love to greet guests and make you feel right at home.

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.

Additional Info:
After booking, you’ll receive a welcome email with a PDF guide full of fun ideas, local recommendations, instructional QR codes, and keyless entry instructions. Note: Many Cape May restaurants are BYOB and require advance reservations—visit capemay.com for options and menus.

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.

Craig was a wonderful host. His property is a clean and well maintained, secluded and peaceful retreat from the numerous beach areas. The beaches, stores, restaurants, and historical attractions are within 12-16 minutes of the Osprey Nest’s quiet neighborhood. This was the perfect place to return to at the end of a busy day. Would happily recommend.

Lovely weekend away

Craig and Canela (his adorable pup!) were the perfect hosts for our weekend away. My sister and I were visiting Cape May for a triathlon and Craig was incredibly informative, filling us in on the best places to eat and must-see attractions. On top of that, he was tremendously hospitable, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The property was clean and lovely and just what we needed for our weekend away.

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!
