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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer and a microwave. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and an iron/ironing board.

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.

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.

Tranquil perfection! You feel as if you are staying at a friend’s home. Craig is such a warm & welcoming host. He has thought of everything anyone could possibly want & need while staying here. There is a coffee & tea station & a little mini kitchen tucked away in a nook that has a toaster oven, microwave, mini fridge, plates, cups, wine, glasses, spoons, knives etc. There’s art & tons of interesting books in every little nook & cranny of the living room as well as board games. There are little cheat sheets & helpful hints along the way - how to turn on the shower & ceiling fans. Instructions on the beach passes. There is a folder that contains all types of helpful information regarding your stay in the home as well as what to do & best places to eat & shop in Cape May.The home is immaculate & clean. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, hand sanitizers, dish soap, room spray, pens (even an scissor which I needed) are provided. Fast Wi-Fi, fire extinguisher & a carbon monoxide detector included. The home was set at a perfect temperature & ceiling fans made it even better. The landscaping & lush plants are dreamy & make you feel like you are somewhere tropical. It is so peaceful yet only 10 min. to the beach, Washington St. shops, Cold Spring village, boat tours, trails. etcOne of our favorite moments was meeting his precious girls, Canela & Bella. Truly beautiful babies. I recommend staying here 100% & we will definitely stay here going forward on our trips to Cape May!

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.
