Helen has a great, quiet place to stay up on the hill from the HMB surfer beach. It is roomy and comfortable for a couple. We parked our car in front of the house and walked to restaurants, the beach, and bluffs, over several days. Everybody we passed while walking down the hill said hi. The house is in a real neighborhood, not a tourist trap. We found a great breakfast place and a restaurant that has a large deck for watching the sunset. It was a wonderful break and we would stay there again.
