Wedding Weekend

September 10, 2025

We were first time visitors of Glouster and enjoyed out stay at the Vista.

Our boys enjoyed the pool even though we wished it was a bit warmer.

The view and location are great.

A Place to Recharge

September 10, 2025

My wife and I have been coming to the Vista for more than 20 years.

Gary and Laura Dow and the Vista staff have created an attractive, very clean and inviting spot with a never old view of Good Harbor Beach. Easy walking to Good Harbor Beach.

The Vista has continued to up their game, now with Roku TV and pet friendly hard wood floors.

Testament to the Vista’s popularity and our desire to return, we usually reserve our room for the following year right before we leave from our stay.

Overall, what the Vista offers is attention to detail and a continuous desire to improve their game. We are fans. Michael and Rachel

Welcoming and Helpful

August 13, 2025

I appreciated the hotel working with me on their cancellation policy and allowing to reschedule if necessary. We didn’t have to. We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very helpful. The room and property was well maintained.

 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.

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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hôtel choisi pour le tournoi de hokey de notre fils . Nous avons passé une nuit à l’hôtel. 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!
