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.
