I stayed in one of the cabins and was pleasantly surprised by the small kitchenette. Having a fridge and coffee maker made the trip less stressful. The property and rooms were clean and well maintained.

We loved the size of our room — bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen, living room and pull out bed. Parking was easy. Pool was great. The mattress was uncomfortable.

We come back to Wells year after year and stay here. The owners keep a quiet, restful, clean and safe place where you can enjoy the sunrise. The location is such that you can walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. We highly recommend The Garrison.

We had a great time staying at The Garrison. Best points were location (to beach, shopping and restaurants), clean room and grounds, the pool was amazing (I believe it was salt water). We also liked that the maid only came once during our 1 week stay. Garbage taken and towels left at our will. Some questionable qualities would be the mattresses and the shower valve
