Peaceful with the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The room was quite large the bed was comfortable. The hotel is an older hotel but everything was there and I loved it. I was treated nicely, welcomed from the get go. I brought my dog with me and he was treated to an awesome dog area, too. I... More

My niece, her husband, their three young children and I spent a night at the Ester Lee! The service was great. They changed our room to make sure we had the best accommodations for the kids, directed us to.a "kid friendly" beach, and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. The view was AMAZING!!! Among the best I have... More

Upon reading reviews on TA we stopped here on our way north. We were not disapointed. Our room was a fair size, with a gas fireplace, ocean view and comfortable. Yes it was a bit dated but the price was only $63 for a double in April. We hiked down the steep road to walk on the beach which was... More

We just returned from a week of relaxation at the Ester Lee! Once again our stay was perfect! We stayed in a cottage and nothing beats the views. The staff was always friendly and helpful as usuall. We are planning our trip for next year already!

Cozy, clean and the best view ever. The Ester Lee is like having your own little beach house on the coast. . . .Or maybe you're at your Great Aunt's beach house. 8-) It's not the Ritz, but it's charming. Staff is great. Love that the Ester Lee has gone all none smoking. We cooked supper, drank wine and watched... More

Great rates! Great views! Pets are very welcome! The Ester Lee has a large area to "walk" your dog. Very friendly, helpful staff. Will be staying there again! Took my 2 Border Collies, we had a wonderful time.

We have stayed at the Ester Lee for years and send all our friends and family there, too! The people are genuinely super nice—on the phone and in person. But it's the view and cozy cottages that make it all worthwhile; anytime of the year!! PLUS, they have a sign out front that has YOUR NAME on it when you... More

Had a good sleep with no road noise just the waves.Very friendly staff. We had absolutely no issues what so ever. One more bonus is that you can walk right down onto the... More
