The shower heads need updated BIG TIME. Not enough garbage receptacles in a two bedroom cottage. One small garbage for the entire place. When we arrived and were checked in, they texted to let us know if we needed anything to ask in that text message log. I asked for the wifi password 4 times with no response. I called the front desk 3x and it rang off the hook. Great views tho.

The view is the best part of this location. It is affordable. Nothing spectacular. We left a day early due to the musty smell.

Lovely
My family and friends and I have been coming here almost every year for 10 years. It's a tradition now. Gorgeous views, friendly staff, and somewhat quaint rooms make the Ester Lee charming. It's not the Hilton in terms of modernity, but not everything needs to be. It makes up for that because it's so clean, restful, and inviting. We love it! It also has access to a beautiful and rugged beach with good rock hound potential, not to mention good storm watching opportunities.

Great for a one night stay at the coast! Wish we were able to stay longer the moment we opened the door. Very quaint, but still super spacious and cozy. Loved the ocean view

I am in love with Ester Lee Motel I have stayed Three times this year set my parents once my grandfather came and stayed once this year and my dad and his parents have been staying there since the 70s. The property is just in amazing spot view and really enjoy the staff and just the area walkable. They’re friendliness for my ESA dog. They’re just amazing. I would stay there every weekend if I could get away with it, but it is a little bit of a drive just under three hours for me but so worth that drive
