Delightful

May 29, 2022

What a pleasant surprise! Laura and her staff went above and beyond in making my stay enjoyable. You can tell after staying here that they care, about the services they provide and the people who come to stay. When in Gloucester this is where I will stay.

Friendly Staff & Breakfast Cafe

I enjoyed my return stay at the Vista this year with friendly staff; the new breakfast buffet and patio; and Blueberry and Banana nut breads with fresh fruit…a great way to start the day. I met interesting people on the patio. Great view of Good Harbor Beach. Easy access to shops and eateries. Highly recommended.

How to unwind and relax

May 17, 2022

We just stayed 6 days and 5 nights at the Vista in Gloucester, Ma. I looked at all the great reviews from past guest[s] of the Vista in hopes to find the words that would express our time there. I was looking for something unique. We agree with all that the Vista is a wonderful place. Great accommodations, great location and the staff from the Office to Housekeepers are very friendly. But what makes it unique we think is the Owner/Manager Laura Dow. Her kindness, informative approach made breakfast morning a pleasure. I guess the word we are looking for is unique. You don’t fin[d] this today. More businesses should follow her thinking.

Ps. Already made reservations to come back next year.

There are beautiful jelly fish on the right side of the ocean just over the bridge. Beach is carry in carry out.

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.

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.

Merci beacoup! I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit and I hope we'll see you again. Best, Laura

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Vista has become our family tradition vacation spot, we keep coming back once or twice a year! 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!
