This review is long overdue. My wife and I along with Lucy, our Bernese Mountain dog live in Nashville. My wife was visiting her mother in Rockport when she fell and fractured a rib. That same day I put Lucy in the car and drove to Rockport. We needed a place to stay so I called several properties including The Vista. My wife and I stayed here before and found it clean and comfortable. What I didn’t know is they welcome pets, and they have a gated run to let dogs off leash. We were there for 5 nights and being able to let Lucy run after 22 hours in the car was fantastic! If you are traveling with a pet and need a great place to stay in the Gloucester/Rockport area, we highly recommend you stay at The Vista!

We have been going to the Vista for several years. My husband and I just celebrated our 47th Anniversary on June 5th. We had to change our plans and move the trip 2 weeks later due to the death of a close friend. When we arrived we were surprised to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers in our room! Thanks so much to Laura and her wonderful Staff! Mike was so awesome! We had a wonderful stay. Will be back in August with friends

The Vista is a lovely motel offering a spectacular view of the ocean, clean and comfy rooms, well-maintained grounds and a friendly and accommodating staff. This was our first visit to The Vista but not our last.

The upkeep and maintenance is amazing – we hadn’t been able to visit in a couple of years, but it is just as beautifully kept. Warm and friendly employees, beautiful pool, short walk to the beach, and ability to use pool after check out are all great perks. Love this place!

We’ve been staying at the Vista regularly for the last 4 years. The staff are fantastic. The rooms, every one of them, are comfortable and each one affords a spectacular view of Good Harbor. Laura Dow, the proprietor, is like family to us!

If we ever stop staying here it will only be because we’ve fallen in love with Gloucester and hope to move there as soon as we can!
