"I chose Ester Lee’s Family Oceanview Cottage primarily for the view and the kitchen. We stayed in room 231. The view is incredible and made everything else worth it. We went when it was colder, so the lack of A/C wasn’t an issue at all. At that elevation and proximity to the coast, the ocean breeze keeps the place cool very nicely. The staff was very courteous and attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Also, the beds were particularly comfortable, so much so that I looked them up and they are indeed made by a reputable local builder. That was a very pleasant surprise for all of us.
I recognize that following might be considered knit picky, but I wanted to let others know so they can decide:
Most obviously, this is an old motel, so it really looks and feels like an old cottage. It was clean enough, but if you look carefully you’ll find some mildew here and dust there and it’s a little musty (but not too bad). Some of the windows in our room were almost rusted in place. We had to use some elbow grease to close and open them. Probably the worst aspect of the place was discovering that the only pan provided was encrusted with what looked like years of oil and dirt. I wouldn’t dare use it. I requested a clean one, but did not receive one. I’d recommend bringing your own pans if you plan to cook.
Overall, this was a great place to stay and I’d recommend it. Just keep the above in mind."
