About this property

OSPREY NEST • Peaceful & Secluded Cape May Garden Escape• 275 Five-Star Reviews

Experience the best of Cape May at Osprey Nest. Wake to an Atlantic sunrise, spend the day enjoying beautiful beaches, historic Cape May, shopping, dining, birding, wineries, or the famous Wildwood Boardwalk. End your day with a spectacular Delaware Bay sunset before returning to the peace and privacy of “Osprey Nest”.

Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in North Cape May, “Osprey Nest” is a private three-room suite designed for comfort, privacy, and gentle coastal living. Enjoy your private entrance from the welcoming front porch overlooking lush gardens. “Osprey Nest” offers a peaceful setting tucked away just minutes from beaches, restaurants, shopping, wineries, and local attractions.

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.
