Budget friendly with nice view, but poor service

View was nice and price was reasonable. Could not get in contact with the front desk and arrived after their office was closed. Was glad to see the Emergency # on the door and was able to get my key quickly. Could not get anyone to answer my request for the wifi password.

Nice location and exellent oceanview. The interior was minimalistic but functionable. The only drawback for me was the set of stairs to and from the unit. However, stairs are not my friend these days but it was worth the trouble for the unit we had.

I've wanted to stay here for a while, a great location. Staff was so friendly and we had a great view. Only complaint I have is that I thought I was booking a certain unit and ended up in basic room after I paid to upgrade. That's probably because I booked through Expedia instead of directly with the Esther Lee. Overall, pretty happy.

Loved the view of the ocean from our cottage. And cottage is very clean. The shower had awesome pressure, but had to let the water warm up for a few minutes. Would have liked to have not so watered down dish soap to clean our dishes. Noticed a dry soiled tile in the corner of the bedroom on the ceiling, when all other tiles were clean and brand new. The electric fireplace didn't put out much heat when topped at 82. To keep the cottage nice and warm, you have to have the bedroom heater on all the way up and the electric fireplace on all the time, other wise, if you turn them both off, it will get pretty cold. Had to put towels on the door and close it, due to cold air blowing in. Needs front door air seals. You could see a quarter inch of daylight coming from top and opening of front door side. Pans, cups and untensils were very clean when we were ready to cook in the cottage. Needs a light over the stove. And a curtain over the bathroom window, so no one sees a person undressing.

Okay stay

I specifically booked a room with a fireplace, that was not working. The toilet took about 5 minutes to first each time with multiple tries, there was no shower head.... was an okay stay but we probably won't be back for the price vs what we got.

Don't stay here

When we first arrived at the property 30 minutes early, we were told our room was not ready. We left and came back an hour or so later and checked in. When went to our cottage, there was a car parked on the walk way blocking our door forcing us to walk thru bolders and wrestle our bags into our room. The cottage was old and had an old smell to it. We asked the front desk to have the car moved for our safety. If there was an emergency we would have had a hard time getting out. It was moved a few feet ahead, still in the walk way around 6am instead of into an open parking space. The bed and linen were also old. We will not ever be returning to this location.

Not likely to stay again

Lobby hours are somewhat inconvenient being 10am - 8pm. There is an after hours number that was called to find out how to make gas fireplace work but after calling 3 times, letting it ring 5 or 6 rings it went to a voicemail message. Voicemail message indicated to try number a couple times and if no answer to call yet another number. Never went there however and gave up. Window in room 211 had gap in between such that a very good wind came through along side the makeshift plastic slide on bottom and stick to hold it cosed. Door to room also had huge wind draft around it. Bathroom door looked to be chewed up on both top and bottom as if animals scratched at it to get in/out so solution was to flip door to only have it happen again. We had stayed here a few years back in room 210 and it wasn't as bad. Room 211 however this stay was horrible. Seems almost as if maintenance doesn't exist and hotel reminds me of owners running it as "slum lords" with little to no money back into it for upgrading/upkeep.

Enjoyed our stay a great deal. Relaxing hearing the waves. Great view of the ocean, though the windows could use a rinse. Overall a good vacation.
