Other than the bathroom being really small (which was actually kinda cute and nostalgic) we really enjoyed it. We saw whales out our window while eating our breakfast! The beach is a short walk. Decent movies to check out and watch. Bed was way more comfy than anticipated and Vichy pillows also. We’ll definitely be heading back!!

This was my 2nd time staying at the Ester Lee and the 1st time staying in one of the cottages and it was so fantastic!! Stunning view, cozy fireplace, full kitchen, and a quick walk down to the beach. Its simply perfect because the keep it simple, make it cozy, and offer perks like DVD rentals, game and puzzles you can take to your room and information on tides with views everywhere. It's pet friendly in a straightforward, no frills way - with the exception of the dog walk which is cute. I love this place.
