We stayed at Gary's with another couple of our friends and we found our stay to be nothing but warm and welcoming. Gary was happy to suggest things for us to do but at the same time provided us with lots of privacy. The "Top Shop" coffee and breakfast place up the street was awesome. We rented the private room with separate entrance for our friends (which they loved) and we stayed in the other bedroom connected to the rest of Gary's house. His neighbors were up late socializing next door but it didn't bother us as they were quiet by the time we went to bed. Since we traveled during the colder season it was a little chilly when we went to sleep, so just be sure to ask Gary for an extra blanket, which he is happy to provide. We had a wonderful stay at Gary's stylish and cozy beach house and we definitely hope to visit again! =)
