I'd actually wondered about the garages in the designer home and the CYV and Patio Villa we've stayed in, in the past - some of them were spacious enough to have workshops in them, but they were horrendously hot. I'd wondered if they had AC and it just wasn't used, or if they didn't have them at all.

In my previous house, my 'man cave' had a large window that faced directly west...and became unbearably hot in the afternoon.
Even with tinting the windows and shutting the curtains, the only way to keep it cool in that one room was to lower the thermostat so much that all of the other 3,500 sf of the house...stayed at about 62 degrees.
Found a nice one of these, which can easily be turned on/off when needed...and the problem was solved.

As for the venting, something like this in the window of the shack...would never even be noticed.
