Second time staying at Vista and more than satisfied both times.Great views,clean rooms and a staff that make sure you have everything you need. Want to know where the locals eat, ask at the front desk. Wanted some lobster rolls but didn’t want to float a loan at restaurant. Woman behind front desk, and wish I could remember her name, told me about Jeff’s Variety grocery store five minutes from the Vista that on Thursday’s had them at $9.97 each.,bought two went back to room, had them on the porch and ate like a king. Things like this are what make the Vista a great place to stay at and I recommend it highly.

It’s our second visit and we’re already planning our third stay. Clean, great view of the beach, more then ample breakfast , lovely grounds, and a heated pool with plenty of towels and lounge chairs. The front desk staff was pleasant and informative.

The Vista was true to its name. The view from our room was amazing and calming. The rooms were clean and fresh and for being an older motel, it was up to date with everything!! The breakfast was amazing and delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We didn’t get to enjoy the pool, too many places to see!! I would definitely recommend The Vista to anyone!!!!

Every room has a view of the Atlantic, the outdoor pool is beautiful and overlooks the ocean as well. Convenient to Gloucester, Cape Ann and Rockport, and not a bad commute to Salem. The owner/managers could not have been nicer. It is a throwback to the old “motor lodges”, so if you are looking for glass and mirrors this won’t be your bag, but if clean, convenient and polite is your thing you can’t go wrong here!

My wife and I have returned to the Vista almost annually for many years. We love the friendly, personal service we receive as much as we enjoy our comfortable rooms, great view of the ocean, and easy walking access to Good Harbor beach. The staff and owners seem committed to always making things better, so there are always nice new touches to the rooms and the grounds. It’s great to have a place to stay in Gloucester that we know we can depend on for service and quality.
