The Padi-Shack. The beach is a short walk down the street.
We put new siding on the house in early 2023...
...do you like the color as much as we do?
Plenty of comfy chairs and couches.
A view of the living room from above. We do love the open plan.

About this property

Snorkel A Shipwreck...Two Ships Are On The Bottom Just Off The Beach!!

Two Shipwrecks are Just Offshore. Great snorkeling. Walk to the beach in 3 minutes.

3 MINUTE WALK TO THE BEACH!! Our house is named “PADI-SHACK” after the Professional Association of Diving Instructors...the owners are avid scuba divers and we love to share our experiences with our guests. Our guests often like to go out to the shipwreck with us and we enjoy being "tour guides". And, we have MANY friends that we have acquired over the years who are here for large parts of the summer. You'll be welcomed into the "family"....and YOU WILL LOVE IT.

Padi-Shack has three bedrooms, two baths, and a screened in porch just off the kitchen. There are ocean views from the upper decks, and there is a lovely ground level deck with patio furniture and an OBX style swing. The owners don’t live far away and we will do anything we can to make this your best vacation EVER!

PLEASE NOTE...we do not supply linens or paper products. A full week (Saturday to Saturday) is required during prime time rental periods. Off season check-ins and visits are
very flexible, requiring a minimum of only 2 nights!

WE REQUIRE KNOWING THE AGES OF ALL PARTIES THAT WILL BE VISITING! WE HAVE NEIGHBORS THAT LOOK AFTER OUR HOME. IF YOU ARE OF HIGH SCHOOL AND/OR COLLEGE AGE, YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE ACCOMPANYING YOU THAT ARE ABOVE THE AGE OF 30 YEARS OLD! NO EXCEPTIONS.

Great beach house
Loved the blue beach house :) My family stayed here over spring break. Walking distance to the beach and a quiet street location. Loved the beach blue decor, games and puzzles to play with the family. Great value for the Outerbanks and a family vacation :)

Wonderful stay!
We stayed at this location for a week for our family vacation, and it was a wonderful week! Great location that’s a short walk to the beach and in KDH so accessible to Manteo and much of the OBX. It’s a cute home with a good layout - nice outdoor area for grilling out. The owners were very nice and responsive before and during our stay. We would definitely stay again!
