The Garage House was a great home base for our trip to the Redwoods. It had everything we needed, and was very clean. It was a great place to come home to at the end of the day. And the view is amazing. We also appreciated the stack of takeout menus on the coffee table - this let us try some of the local places, and also enjoy eating dinner while looking out over the ocean.

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.

I had a wonderful stay at The Garage House. There is nothing that could have made it any better because it is perfect. The view is sublime. The kitchen is very well stocked. I cooked all of my own meals and had everything I needed. The bed is soft and I slept well. The ocean waves lulled me to sleep. I cried when it was time to leave and I hope I can come back soon.

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!

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.
