I will say the view from room was wonderful. However this location is right off hwy, so there is traffic noise and very challenging to pull safely onto hwy when leaving property. No AC in so very warm and stuffy in the rooms. The provided fan in room looked as it had never been cleaned. I pulled huge dirt/dust balls out of it. The amount of guck and grime in the window seals is unacceptable and no safety features on windows. No screens. Not kid friendly. Our concerns were brought to their attention quickly explaining our safety concerns and below standards of cleanliness and comfortability. Unfortunately they were not willing to refund all or even partial of the reservation(2 nights). Was told the concerns provided did not quailify for any type of compensation. We took the loose and went elsewhere.

Ester Lee is quaint and old fashioned. If you don't mind old fixtures, rustic finishes, blend of 40's and 50's style living, no dishwasher in my unit (223), minimal kitchen ware (pots pans plates, bowls) it works and the view is pretty good, minus the power lines for some of the units that are set back. Bed was comfy, had windows that opened, most were street side, one was ocean side. Unit could have been cleaner. I stayed in a dog friendly one and there was more than a reasonable amount of hair left behind on the floors, not a deal breaker though. Overall, if you're not too fussy and want a good view with beach access, though steep, it's a nice place to stay.

Great view!

Clean and neat and the view is to die for. Getting to the beach is tough going down a very steep hill but if you are young nothing you can’t handle. Ours had a small kitchen and a gas fireplace for heat.

The room was spacious, and the windows were pretty new; there weren’t any salt erosion/chips marks on the glass and they were very clean! The water was either too hot or tepid for taking a shower (temp kept vacillating between those two). Gorgeous view and comfy bed. Also, there were four chairs and a nice kitchenette.

The first disappointment was the office, - a stale old man's smell. When we entered the room we realized that the office was not so bad. Our room had a disgusting, incredibly nasty stale stench. The excellent, delightful view from the window on the rocky ocean shore was only positive, BUT terrible stinkiness couldn't keep us in the room to enjoy view. Kitchen appliances and other equipment are extremely old. To our surprise, with the exception of a broken coffee maker, everything works properly, including plumbing. Very badly smelling kitchen towels. Old, darkened with time, washed-out bed linen. Absolutely unjustified cost for such a low level.We will never return here for a vacation. This is the most disgusting experience for our family.

Ocean view was beautiful but the mold in the room was not. It was in the bathroom and window of our studio. My daughter and I are really sensitive to mold and she is now suffering from it. The kitchen cast iron pan was disgusting and had to be washed plus most of the dishes we used were washed first, then agin after. There was black hair in our sheets of both beds plus hair in the bathroom. The shower leaked out so bad it flooded the floor. I had to get multiple floor mat towels as it drenched each one. The walk to the beach is a workout, which was fine for my kids wearing them out helped out.

Smelled like dog

Smelled like old dog when we entered our room. The drip pans on the stove were not the correct size, so the burners did not sit flat. We were able to use 1 of the small burners to cook on. When I book a room with a kitchen, I expect it to have a fully functioning stove.

Great view and clean room. (Room 105). Room condition kind of shaky-window frame falling apart/rusty and grimy; torn carpet by the fireplace; door bolt very difficult to slide; bathroom door beat up and rusty. Looks like the salty air is winning the battle. Also had a drone hovering near our window at the shoreline.
