Xmas Family Getaway

Beautiful spacious home! Host was very communicative and helpful. The beach and grounds were wonderful! Loved being able to use the golf cart for my older family members. The pool table, ping pong table and multiple tv rooms made it easy to vacation with a group aged 14 to 80. Thanks!

Small Family Wedding

My spouse and I held our small wedding ceremony on the property, along the beach and reception in the backyard. It was PERFECT! The views are incredible, the outdoor kitchen/bar and fire pit help create a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We were able to spend several days and nights along with a few close family members and friends. There was plenty of space for everyone and multiple guests stated how amazing the property is. I would highly recommend the space to stay as well as host an event!

Beautiful Home for a Wedding!

I booked this property to hold a small wedding with close friends and family and it was absolutely perfect. We were able to see the home ahead of time with the property manager (who is extremely nice, as well as the home owner) to make arrangements for a ceremony on the beach, reception with a tent over the volleyball court (with outdoor heaters included), and got amazing photos on the private dock. Following the wedding we also kayaked over to Wickets Island and were able to relax with our guests in such a beautiful, spacious home. The host was very responsive, helpful, and has such a great home to host family gatherings/events. Plenty of fridge space and its easy to arrange an extra trash pick-up as needed for an event. Golf cart is a much needed, awesome bonus at this property as well. Highly recommend this property and will definitely return for an anniversary!

The perfect wedding

This was exactly what I was looking for for our wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. The property is amazing. We got married on the beach then had the reception under a tent on the volleyball court. The rest of the days spent there were perfect for making memories with our families

Perfect wedding weekend

My now husband and I stayed at the property with 18 of our friends Friday-Tuesday. We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the backyard under a tent that was set up on the volleyball court with about 55 guests. The house and grounds are truly gorgeous, the proximity to the beach is perfect. We stayed in the master suite and it is HUGE. The tub and shower/steam room were amazing. I got ready for the wedding in the walk in closet.it did not feel crowded with all of our guests. I would highly recommend this property for large groups or a small event! The owners were extremely helpful and responsive leading up to the event and during our stay. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!

Perfect House for Multiple Families

We stayed here for a wonderful week. We had toddlers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all under one roof, and the layout of the house was perfect for everyone to have space and hang out in the communal spaces at the same time. It was a quick walk to the beach, and the town js locely, but honestly enjoyed 90% of our time on the property. Can’t wait to return next year.

Wow....!!!!

We were impressed with the cottage when saw it on the internet and were surprised when we showed up. IT WAS BETTER IN PERSON THAN THE PICTURES INDICATED......!!!! I am convinced that our family will never experience a nicer house / grounds / location .....!!!! We had our own sand volleyball court. Our own private dock. An island that we could kayak to.....!!!! First and second floor balconies that can see Onset Bay......!!!! the 85" tv was great for movie night ......!!!! The landlord was easy to reach and very responsive when we reached out to him. This is a place that will stick in the memories of us and our kids because we stayed at this "compound" for much of the vacation, and did not need to spend time on the road to enjoy Cape Cod..... We have been vacationing as a family (15 people +/-) for 12 years so far, and this is by far the best location and house that we have had the pleasure to enjoy.....!!!!

We were 12 adults and two under 4 children. The back porch overlooking the volleyball court was THE meeting place for breakfast, back from the beach, BBQ , and in the evening sitting around as an entire family. Our stay was too short, and far exceeded our expectations. Just when we thought we forgot something, it was there. 5Stars is not enough

Best wedding weekend ever!!!

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful home - the location was nice and quiet but also still close driving to the surrounding destinations. The walk to the private beach was lovely, and everything the house had to offer was perfect for our small backyard wedding. The hosts were accommodating and flexible. The outdoor heaters, golf cart, backyard patio area, and everything was perfect and our guests raved about the house! I would love to stay here again in the future. If you are thinking of having your wedding here, I would highly recommend.

Beautiful home, lovely location

Had a wonderful stay at Osprey Nest. The home is perfect for a family gathering, with lots of space for getting together but also with a layout that allows for plenty of privacy when desired. Check in was seemless and easy, the host was there when needed and invisible otherwise, and the house/grounds were exactly as described and had everything you could want. You cannot go wrong staying here.

Dreamy… even during a hurricane!

This vacation spot did not disappoint, even with hurricane Lee looming. Our group was worried as Lee was meant to be at its worst during the long weekend of our stay, but the communication with the homeowner and property manager was great- including sharing that the house has a generator - so we headed to the destination. The house was loaded with entertainment options and stocked with everything we needed, and then some! The weather ended up being a non-issue, so we were able to just enjoy the beauty of the huge property outside as well. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and fun. I would highly recommend this rental and we’ll certainly visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Swanton

Host profile image
Brian & Leah met in the early 1990's at Arizona State University and reside in Phoenix, Arizona where they raised their 3 children. Leah was born and raised near Des Moines, Iowa, and Brian grew up in a large family in Quincy, MA. They often travel back to Massachusetts to visit Brian's family, which led them to purchase their dream vacation home at the gateway to Cape Cod on Buzzard's Bay.

Why they chose this property

We are excited to share this beautiful home with you and your family and friends. Each time we come back to New England, we are always searching for the perfect vacation rental property to host our family reunions. After many years of renting vacation properties ourselves, we finally found the perfect home… so we decided to buy it. Since we cannot be here as often as we would like, we decided to share it with you. We know you will love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This home is called 'The Osprey Nest' because of the giant osprey nest sitting atop a pole in the conservation area in the backyard. A family of ospreys reside in that nest from March through September each year. This home is truly one of a kind. Nowhere else can you find this level of seclusion while being surrounded by so many nearby activities such as shopping centers, water sports, golf courses, water parks, etc. It's truly the best of both worlds. With stunning views of the famous Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge, this home will make you want to sip your wine on one of the three back porches and take in the sights and sounds of Buzzards Bay. Just minutes to the Bourne Bridge, the beauty of this home is that you do not have to cross the busy bridge to get to the home. During the summer months, the harbormaster's launch service will pick you up from your dock and take you to Onset Beach to dine during sunset, and then take you back to your dock after dinner. The private beach is soft and sandy and the water is so clear that you can see the ocean floor from 8 feet above. The only thing between you and the private beach is 15 acres of protected conservation lands. With dedicated paths throughout the conservation area, you can pull out the golf cart from the golf cart garage in the backyard (included with the home) and drive down to the beach with your coolers and chairs, or simply stroll 300 yards to the beach on foot. Take full advantage of the special events offered all summer long by the Onset Bay Association, as well as recreational activities offered by the Buzards Bay Coalition... right in your own backyard. You can also have bikes, kayaks or stand-up paddle boards delivered right to the home! You can drive the golf cart to Little Harbor Country Club to play golf, take a narrated cruise from Onset Beach down the Cape Cod Canal, or walk from the house to the Mass. Audubon Society's Great Neck Wildlife Sanctuary. It's your own Kennedy compound.
