What a view!!!! We had a great time at the Helm and Stern. The house is dated, but you can see where renovations are taking place. Not at the time we were there. I think they are strategically updating a little at a time. Very clean and what we expected. Everything worked and it is well equipped. Easy beach access. The Starboard portion of the house was occupied, but we didn't hear a squeak out of them. Very quiet. It must take a lot of effort to maintain wooden homes at the beach. I will make two suggestions.....1. Fix the curtains, there are 3 or 4 that are broken, and 2. The red light showing that the stove top is hot stays on....all the time. Other than that, which isn't much, it was wonderful. We will definitely stay there again. The dog says woof!!!!
