Welcome to the “Grandiose Ole Osprey”

The “Grand Ole Osprey,” our family’s beloved getaway, was constructed in the late 1970s on a $1,000 plot of land in the coveted, private Ocean Sands Beach community. Back then, oceanfront property could be yours for just $2,000! Over the past 43 years, this classic cedar-plank home has weathered hurricanes, nor’easters, and everything in between, standing strong as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and care.

Located at the end of the cul-de-sac on the edge of 17 ½ acres of shared open-space dunes, this home offers beautiful vistas and a backyard teeming with wildlife—foxes, deer, rabbits, and, of course, the osprey that inspired its name. Whether it’s the ocean waves crashing close by or the comfortable interior finished in delightful Ponderosa Pine, this is where family memories are made.

Rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your Currituck vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
