Beautiful view of the marshes and beach houses that sit Oceanside a mile away. I enjoyed a morning walk to the beach…Mile Road is just around the corner. My kids had a great time in the pool. While we were there we walked to Condons for donuts and the food trucks, and Mike’s for dinner. We stayed in the Queen suite which had a private bedroom, a Murphy bed in the living room for 2, and a pull out couch bed for 2. There was also a full size refrigerator and kitchenette. Perfect accommodations for sleeping and touch-and-go as we enjoyed the town of Wells. The only negatives: bring your own pool towels and a box fan. We bought a fan for the bedroom because the AC unit is in the living room. It keeps the place cool but if you want to close your bedroom door, you’ll want a fan. Overall, we had a good time; I’d stay at the Garrison again.

Nice place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Garrison. The property is beautiful and it's in a good location. My daughter loved the pool and she said it was clean and warm. There's a wonderful restaurant across the street.

Amazing location for everything you want to do in the wells area. The only downfall are the beds themselves, we woke up in a lot of pain.
