We really enjoyed our stay at Helen’s beach house. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The view was gorgeous and the backyard pretty and private. We thought Stieglitz was a good location for exploring the area as it is much prettier than downtown St Helens, but still close to the amenities there. The road was quite busy and sometimes noisy, but it was okay if we kept the road facing windows shut. Only 2 things to note: there is no A/C, and because the house faces west, the afternoon sun is quite hot. Not a big deal if you close the curtains and are out exploring during the day, as it cools down quickly at night. Secondly, the bay beach down the hill from the house is very average compared to all the gorgeous beaches in the area (and the hill is quite steep to go up and down), so I wouldn’t plan on going there. Thanks Helen!
