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!

We enjoyed the easy walk to the beach, proximity to bagels & donuts, the spiral staircase, the master bed balcony and the popcorn maker. A great house and great value.
My group of 5 stayed for 2 nights and found the place to be very comfortable. Randy was quick to respond whenever we had any questions. We would gladly stay here again.
We had a quick trip to the Outer Banks and this house was perfect. The kids had room to play inside and out. The location was central to everything we wanted to do. Checkin was easy and any questions we had were answered quickly. Would definitely stay here again.
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 :)
The house was the perfect size, check in was easy, and everything was there that we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this little home every time.
The property was in a great location and spacious for our family of 4. Could use some cosmetic upgrades, but you cant beat it for the price. Would stay again.
This was the perfect getaway for us. The house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It’s an older house, but felt homey and lived in and the location was great for all the sightseeing and especially for enjoying the beach - the access was so close!! We would definitely recommend it and plan to return with friends!
Enjoyed our quick girls trip down to OBX! It’s such a great centralized location and just a short walk to the beach. Definitely would book for another stay and Randy was accommodating and a quick responder to any questions we had! Fully equipt kitchen was perfect for dinners and baking at the house and spiral staircase was a fun novelty for the girls! Fun stay overall!
Loved our stay! Host was great! Perfect location near everything!
House is clearly a family house or has been in someone’s family for a long time. The price was on point for the accommodations.

Mini vacation
Overall the house was very clean, however carpets need replacing gave a very musky smell! Just needs some TLC .
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!
Our family weekend getaway meeting up in KDH was great. Vrbo rental place is in a good location - a few blocks to the water and a few blocks to the shopping area. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly.
Randy was EXCELLENT to work with. The property is in a great location and very close to the beach. It served all of our needs for our all too short vacation. We would definitely stay here again.
Absolutely loved this home! Very clean, comfy, and spacious with several great gathering areas. Well stocked kitchen - you'd be hard pressed to find something not available! Great location with short walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!!!
This rental is close to everything but it felt quiet and relaxing. Check in was the easiest I ever had and we weren't saddled with a million responsibilities for the property. We had a great weekend.
Stayed here over the holiday week. very well located on Outer banks. Close to about everything.
House was clean. quiet neighborhood. definitely recommend.
We loved the Padi Shack and will definitely be back! Perfect walking distance to beach. Fully stocked kitchen- great if you plan on cooking most meals. Communication with owners was easy and they always had a quick response. Great location at a great price.
