About this house rental
Welcome to the “Grand Ole Osprey”
Experience the charm of a true family beach house! The “Grand Ole Osprey,” our family’s beloved retreat, was built 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.
Nestled at the end of the cul-de-sac on the edge of 17 ½ acres of shared open-space dunes, this home offers breathtaking views 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 nearby or the cozy interior finished in gorgeous Ponderosa Pine, this is where family memories are made.

The Grand Old Osprey house was very cozy and private. My first time inOBX and we really enjoyed the location (close to grocery store as well as backed up to open dunes- best of both worlds). The host was super responsive all my questions before and during my stay. Highly recommend staying here.

We just spent a week at The Grand Ole Osprey and it was just what we needed before our kids head back into the school year in NJ. There was enough room for our family and my best friend's family to all stay. The new kitchen appliances were a bonus and the outdoor deck is very spacious! Also a big fan of the outdoor shower for getting all the sand off after the beach each day. The location of the house, at the end of a cul-de-sac was terrific for our kids and there is no traffic on the street whatsoever. The quick walk to the beach each day was amazing and close enough to walk back with kids for bathroom and lunch breaks. Overall, we had a great time!

We really enjoyed our time at the Grand ole Osprey. We loved being just steps from the beach and sitting on the back porch to hear the waves. Our kids were easily able to do their school virtually with the WiFi. We also enjoyed being a short drive to mini golf, bumper cars, and Loved the pizza from pizzazz pizza! The owner was easy to contact when we had questions. We would happily return for another week in the future.
