The kitchen could have a few more items but we really didn't cook so it was fine. Didn't use the hot tub. We really enjoyed the peace & quiet of the house. Beautiful view! The house was set up so cute. We enjoyed our time there.

Shopping was very easy just a few minutes to Murphys (grocery store) They have everything you need. Awesome restaurants in town also. Then not far is the bay, dock, and Seascape restaurant! Kitchen has everything thing you need. Bathroom is awesome especially if you have knee issues!The only snall thing would rather have a king size bed but i would go backin a minute.
Fun watching all the surfers

I stay in vrbo’s all over the country and the garage house is my absolute favorite. It is truly a hidden gem. You can’t beat the view. Very attentive and thoughtful host. This last stay was my third time here, but definitely won’t be my last. TheGarage house is magical. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Great location, gorgeous view, and enjoyed our little fox visitor. The place was quite clean and comfortable but had a slight invasion of pill bugs - not offensive but a little annoying. Would definitely consider staying here again!
