It's so good to return to the place I never wanted to leave ...

Fond memories of the Venice area in the seventies started it all. Things were simpler then. Not so many people, and the beachcombing never ended (okay I was a teenager). Frequent visits over the years further embedded a love of this amazing area. So much nature, coastal lifestyle and historic charm.

As development has impacted land and lifestyle over the decades, Venice's historic charm and lush nature deserve even more recognition today.

It's a heart-felt story that needs to be told, honoring the earliest homesteaders, conservation efforts and natural beauty that is enjoyed today!

We are blessed to call Osprey our home.
