Osprey Nest...Near Beaches, Fine Dining, Shopping


This private self-entry luxury suite of 3 rooms offers you a private front and a lovely sitting room with full size sofa that has two reclining seats. Then there is a Queen sized bed/ bedroom, private bath with glass door step in shower that has dual shower heads and ample room for two people. Over 200 5 star reviews and 8 years of rental experience!

The apartment is at the front of my home, and completely private from my living space all to the rear. I welcome guests from all racial and international backgrounds, and I welcome LGBTQ guests.

The Osprey Nest is located only a 10 minute bike ride from the best sunsets in South Jersey overlooking the Delaware Bay. It is only a 15 minute drive to the best beaches, restaurants, and attractions of Cape May, Cape May Point, and The Wildwoods. The location is truly in the center of everything this area has to offer. When you come home, my guests all comment on and love the peace and serenity of the neighborhood. You would never realize there is so much activity 10 minutes away.

The suite was recently renovated with new paint, carpets and new memory foam mattress. The bathroom has handicap access, grip bars, and subway-tiled step in shower with glass door. Complete with granite and marble appointments. I have on demand hot water so there is an endless supply of hot water to indulge yourself in a wonderful shower. I provide organic body products, shampoo, blow dryer, etc.

The bedroom offers a Queen sized bed with dream memory foam top, elegant Egyptian cotton or bamboo linens, and comfy hotel quality pillows. Plenty of luxurious cotton bath towels. Since we sleep 30% of our life, I believe comfort should be invested in the mattress, linens, pillows, etc. I also provide beach chairs, and beach tags, but not beach towels.

Upon entry, is the sitting room with a full sized leather sofa with reclining seats at both ends. There is a 40 inch Samsung smart TV and Sony DVD player. Easy to stream apps, or use the HDMI wire I provide already
installed into the rear of the TV, so you can stream from your computer or device. For sound there is a surround sound Polk sound bar for TV or streaming music from your phone/device apps.

The delightful covered front porch with cushioned chairs and a table, exclusively for private use of my guests. Please be advised there is NOT A FULL KITCHEN, however there is a toaster oven, microwave, under-counter refrigerator, a selection of glassware, including wine glasses, plates, bowls, and all utensils. Other amenities include Kuerig coffee maker or a French coffee press. I provide a few coffee pods, but if you’d like to use the French press, please bring your favorite ground coffee with you. I also supply half-and-half and a couple of bottles of water to get you started. If you need more frig or freezer space , there is a full-size refrigerator around the side of the front porch. I am happy to make space for your items in that refrigerator if the small one inside the apartment is not sufficient.

Guests enter through a separate front door, immediately to the right as you step up onto the porch. The door has a sign which says “Osprey Nest”. It has a secure keyless number pad entry, programmed with a unique code for each guest. Your code begins at 3 PM on day of arrival and ends at 11 AM on day of departure.

I have a dog named Canela (Spanish word for cinnamon), a rescued Cavalier King Charles spaniel. She is a hypoallergenic breed so there are not allergy concerns. I am always nearby and available for any questions or advice. I have lived in Cape May for most of my life, and have extensive knowledge about restaurants, history, and fun things to see and do! Every season has a special charm. Christmas and dappled snow on Victorian mansions is so magical.

After my guests reserve I send a welcome email response with a PDF attachment. It contains information about my property and offers you recommendations about the area. Please note most fine dining restaurants in Cape May do accept reservations. It is important to make restaurant choices with reservations well advance of your stay. Go to Capemay.com to make selections and find out restaurant websites. I highly recommend that you print this PDF and bring it with you. There are many wineries, breweries, and only minutes away Nauti Spirits distillery. Please pay special attention and read the details in the PDF about parking and how to use the keyless entry lock. I welcome you to come, relax, enjoy the peace and quiet, and the unique charm and beauty of the CAPE MAY area.

Osprey Street in Cape May
My husband and I had an excellent stay. Our host, Craig Needles, was extremely helpful. His place was clean and comfortable. Despite the lack of sun most days, we had a very good time. I recommend Craig’s place without any reservation.

It was only three nights, but enough that I know that the next time I plan a visit to the Cape May area I will be looking ere first. Quiet, clean, easy to get to from beaches, shopping and dining, this one bedroom apartment has it all - including a helpful and easy going host. It's clean and stylish and quiet. There is easy parking and a dedicated space in front. Ten minutes to Cape May beaches and city center.

Quiet and convenient
The property was very clean, and the owner was always accommodating, since he was very easy to get in touch with, even when he was out. We haven’t stayed in one of the Cape May area’s residential neighborhoods before, so this was a treat. We discovered some beaches and places to relax, which we would not have found if we were not at this particular place.

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.

Peaceful
From start to finish the stay was peaceful. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood and the rental is cozy and nicely decorated. Craig oriented us to the space on our arrival, and there are written directions in the unit. Our two favorite things were the bedding and the shower. Check out was a breeze- just text him and lock the door. We would definitely stay again.
