About this apartment rental
Helms House sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms and is situated in the beautiful village of St Helens overlooking the village green. The accommodation has a master bedroom with a king size bed and en-suite bathroom, a twin bedroom, 2 rooms with king size beds (zip & link) and a family bathroom. The lounge has comfortable seating and leads through to the dining room and well-equipped kitchen. There is also a utility room, downstairs shower room and study. From the dining room you can access the enclosed garden via the patio doors with outdoor dining space. Parking is to the front of the property for 2 cars and there is also a garage for a small car or guests' storage.
St Helens Village is on the East Coast of the Isle of Wight between the villages of Bembridge and Seaview. St Helens' greens are an integral part of the village life with regular sports played throughout the year. The village also has a local corner shop, two restaurants, a public house and a children's playground.
St Helens beach is within walking distance of Helms House. Here you will find the remains of the original old church which was built on the seafront. Just off the coast is St Helens Fort which was built around 1867. There is also a lovely cafe/restaurant for you to enjoy a relaxing meal with stunning views. Close to the beach is St Helens Duver which was previously a golf course but is now owned by the National Trust. The Duver has a large car park and has views across to Bembridge Harbour and the RSPB conservation area. It is an ideal area for walking and outdoor games and Tactisle Watersports is located at the nearby marina. There is another cafe and a water taxi ferries passengers to Bembridge beach. Mackerel fishing trips operate from the harbour and there are two sailing clubs.
Helms House is an ideal holiday home for families, walkers, cyclists, sailors, anglers and bird watchers with many public footpaths nearby.

Lovely house, nice location. Plenty of space for 7 of us and a baby. Only bad points were the high chair was unclean and unusable and the travel cot was broken. Ended up buying both on the day we arrived.

We have stayed in many holiday lets over the years. The owners have thought of everything we couldn’t find anything that we didn’t want. It’s advertised for 2 cars can park you can only get one medium size car on the drive but the park with parking is only a short walk away. The house is extremely clean. The location isnt the centre of the Isle of Wight which we knew before coming this didn’t bother us as we had a vehicle but there is a bus stop just across the road. The house didn’t come with a welcome pack to get you started but they a village shop approximately 3 minute walk away. We will definitely be back.

The location in St Helens was convenient for travelling by car to many of the visitor attractions and to/from the ferry terminal at Fishbourne. However, Helms House is on a surprisingly busy road which made the parking space quite difficult to enter and leave, especially squeezing in 2 cars. There was a lot of traffic noise late at night and in the early morning (a noisy motorbike regularly roared past at about 5.45 am!) - this was accentuated because the windows needed to be open due to the hot weather. The fan that was provided in the house unfortunately did not work. The holiday house was reasonably priced and was fairly clean and well equipped, so despite the location problems I still felt it was value for money.
My biggest disappointment was that I'd asked for a highchair and stairgate to be provided. The house notes said the highchair was stored in a bedroom - it wasn't, and we only found it towards the end of the week lurking in the garage, folded under a dirty cover. I do feel it should have been set up and thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. I'd also specifically requested Island Holiday Homes to ask the cleaners to assemble the stairgate. When we arrived with our lively 2-year-old, we were immediately faced with assembling it ourselves - not the best welcome. For these reasons I would not recommend the property to another family with a young child.
