Wonderful Visit

October 28, 2025

You won’t find a more caring staff anywhere! From booking with Robin to our greeting from Laura upon arrival, our stay was absolutely fantastic! Our rooms were spacious with beautiful views, and every amenity was covered. In the bathroom there was a makeup mirror and paper bathroom cups…who does that! Breakfast was delicious…lemon blueberry and pumpkin breads, croissants, yogurt, fruit and hard boiled eggs. Laura gave us excellent recommendations as to sightseeing and restaurants, and we were very pleased with her suggestions. Although this was a relatively short visit, it has made us want to return for a longer one. Highly recommend The Vista!

We visit Gloucester 2x a year and always stay at The Vista!

The staff is welcoming, the daily breakfast is simple and tasty (lots of danishes, lemon pound cakes, boiled eggs, coffee, etc.) The view from the Vista is gorgeous, and we always get a pet room so we can bring our dog. They even have a dog park for sniffing and doing other necessary dog “business”! The Vista is the best!!

The Best View of the Beach!

The Vista is high on a hill overlooking the Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester! We left the sliding glass doors open and could hear the waves crashing to the shore at night-a perfect lullaby!

Indeed, a perfect lullaby! Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you’ll come back and do it all again.

The best!

Not only does the Vista Motel have a fabulous view, but everyone from Laura the owner, to Robin at the office, to Maria at the continental breakfast were the most warm and hospitable people we have experienced in our two weeks of traveling! They made us feel right at home. The room was spotless, with comfortable beds and a lovely view.

We highly recommend The Vista!!!

Thank you Laura, Robin and Maria.

This place feels like home!

October 14, 2025

From the warm welcome to the fabulous sunrises to the comfy beds, The Vista exceeded our expectations! Our spacious room had plenty of storage, a bathtub that came in very handy for soaking after long walks, a refrigerator and a microwave, along with the other usual amenities. Wifi was great, and the windows opened to allow the sea breeze to cool us at night.

The breakfast options are very nice, with blueberry bread and croissants that we loved.

Altogether a place I would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rooms were very clean. Great view. The area is quite expensive, it is easy to cook in the kitchen if you choose to. There are beautiful jelly fish on the right side of the ocean just over the bridge. Beach is carry in carry out.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice clean motel.  This is our 1st stat at Vista, and we will be returning.  We met the owner, who is a very nice and helpful gentleman.   The location on top  a hill makes for good viewing and picture taking.  They have a pool, but wasn't open for the season , yet.  Our next trip in May, we will enjoy the pool.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have known about the Vista for years and had been told to stay there. I finally did and was not disappointed.

It is within walking distance to Good Harbor Beach and within about a mile of some great restaurants.

The view is lovely. It was not very busy when we were there but there was a nice continental breakfast available.

Les chambres sont beaucoup plus belle en vrai qu’en photo. C’est très propre et l’hôtel est très bien entretenu. La dame qui nous  m’accueillie fut souriante! gentille et très professionnelle.

Excellent staff, family friendly, superb continental breakfast, spaceous rooms for families with kids.  If you are seeking an affordable getaway for a family of five with three younger kids then this is the place to be, including the said eateries I noted,  you will have the most awesome experience here, every stay!
