Welcome to the “Grandiose Ole Osprey”

Feel the appeal of a true family beach home! 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 striking vistas and a backyard teeming with wildlife—foxes, deer, rabbits, and, of course, the osprey that inspired its name.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Currituck rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your Currituck rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Currituck area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Grand Ole Osprey - Corolla Oceanside - The Original Classic Beach House! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a particular Currituck attraction you are crazy about, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
