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

Experience the best of Cape May at Osprey Nest.

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.
