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!

We loved staying at this beautiful home. You can’t beat the views! It was a perfect location for us to come back to after a day of exploring tide pools or hiking in the redwoods to soak in the hot tub and listen to the waves below us. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house in a breathtaking location.

We had a lovely 3 night stay and didn’t want to leave. We were surrounded by birds and the ocean. The place is extremely comfortable and has all the amenities you could need. We will definitely return when back in the area.

We won't stay anywhere else!

I usually write a long review about the amazing ocean views and how lovely it is to unwind in their hot tub overlooking the Pacific with a glass of wine after an afternoon of hiking. But I'll just leave it at this: This was our 7th stay in 8 years. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!
