Still gorgeous

Views are stunning, property very clean. The property is a cabin on a beautiful bluff, no one around, very private. The bedding could be more supportive, but that’s the biggest negative. Third time visitors

Osprey Nest

The most amazing property we have ever rented. Stripped down, simple and elegant with an unmatched view. Several window cranks need attention, but otherwise the house is perfect.

Unwind on Tiptoe Mountain Road

The Osprey Nest is sublime. An austere, well appointed home perfectly sited. Property manager Claire Jackson was a delight and could not have been more helpful. We can't wait to return

Private, camp like

Great location away from town, feels like a remote cabin/camp in the woods. It is not a fancy, high end home, so if that is what you’re looking for it’s not for you. It was exactly what we were looking for, we absolutely enjoyed it. Access to the ocean, great sunsets, easy walk to tip toe mountain, etc.

Remarkable vacation!

The setting is remarkable, incredibly beautiful! House very well equipped. It was our first time on the island, so more information about the very arcane ferry system would have been helpful.
