Remodeled in February 2020, Osprey is a quaint house nestled in the village of Salvo on an oceanside street. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic retreat and small families wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, Osprey feels cozy while maintaining Hatteras Island charm and natural beauty. A well-appointed cottage with comforts of home, Osprey invites you to unwind and relax! Built in 1978 by the current owner’s grandfather and father, this cozy cottage was one of the first rental properties in Salvo. Over the last 40 years, Osprey has continued to host and amaze visitors with its prime ocean-side location, just yards away from the Atlantic Ocean, and stunning views of sunsets over the Pamlico Sound. Please note this is not an oceanfront property nor does it have water views. Modern upgrades and renovations were completed on the property in February 2020. Beautiful craftsmanship, natural lighting, and simple comfortable furnishings create an aesthetic that allows your mind and body to unwind after a day of fun. The main gathering area is open with a stocked kitchen, living, and dining areas. There are two private bedrooms, both with new queen size beds and doors that lock for your privacy, and one full-sized bathroom. A front porch runs the length of the house and offers additional entertaining space; allowing you to live indoors or out. On the west side of the cottage, a private outdoor shower helps you to rinse off the beach and enjoy the splendor of outdoor bathing. We are friendly to all guests, but please note that we do not provide essentials for infants and toddlers. But please feel free to bring what you need if you are traveling with small children. Also, due to local regulations, infants and toddlers must be included in the total guest count. The entire home is accessible for your enjoyment. There is a primitive ocean beach access with a double dune line at the end of the street. The access is not handicap accessible and it is recommended to wear flip-flops or sandals across the dunes and to stay on the path due to the abundance of cactus. Osprey is located less than one half (0.5) mile from the Salvo Day Use Area; an opportune spot for families with smaller children to explore the Pamlico Sound and for adults and older children looking to kayak, kiteboard, canoe, and watch beautiful sunsets. In addition, adjacent to the Salvo Day Use Area is a four-wheel drive beach access for guests to enjoy with the purchase of an off-road driving permit from the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
