The Grand Ole Osprey - Corolla Oceanside - The Original Classic Beach House! - Vacation rental home in Corolla, NC

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 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 charming Ponderosa Pine, this is where family memories are made.
