Indulge in Coastal Bliss at Helm Haven: Your Perfect Beachside Escape for 14 Guests! After traveling with our young kids (6, 3, 3) and experiencing the challenges firsthand, we were inspired to create Helm Haven, a space designed to delight both kids and grown-ups, ensuring everyone makes memories for a lifetime. Whether you are on a family vacation or a couple’s retreat, Helm Haven offers everything you need for an unforgettable getaway! Experience the best of bay views in our stunning home, featuring 3 King Bedrooms (two with their own private bath), 1 Queen Bedroom, and a fun-filled bunk room that accommodates six guests, with twin over twin bunks for two guests and full over full bunks for an additional four guests (no more than 250 lbs of combined weight on top bunk please). Just a short stroll away, discover our private community beach for endless bay adventures, shark tooth hunting, and swimming. The shallow waters near the shore provide an environment for you to play, wade, and splash without the strong currents and undertow that an ocean beach may have. We also have sandbars just offshore, which create natural pools where you can explore and observe marine life like crabs and small fish. While there, search for shark’s teeth from prehistoric sharks that lived in the Chesapeake Bay. Inside, unwind in the spacious living and dining areas, complete with breathtaking bay views. The kitchen is fully stocked so that you can cook as much or as little as you like! We provide a Keurig coffee machine with both pods and drip coffee plus complimentary tea and coffee pods. Let your inner child roam free in our exciting game room, boasting arcade games, air hockey, rock climbing, swings, an egg chair, a spinning ship wheel, and a treasure trove of boat captain, pirate, and mermaid costumes. For movie nights, our cozy movie room awaits, complete with freshly made popcorn from our popcorn machine. Meanwhile, friends can gather nearby for lively rounds of poker, board games, and puzzles at our game table. Savor the flavors of summer with a BBQ feast in our outdoor dining area, followed by fireside chats around our inviting firepit. Don’t forget to explore the bay with our complimentary kayaks or enjoy a friendly competition with our outdoor games like Giant Jenga, cornhole, lawn darts, kan jam, and more. We saw firsthand how challenging traveling with young kids can be so we offer children’s plates and utensils, plasticware, bibs, a highchair, keekaroo changing pad, white noise machine, pack n play, bath mat and more so parents can enjoy their vacation as much as their kids do.

Please note that the elevator will be turned off and access will only be made available to those guests who sign a waiver in advance of their stay.
