A great family weekend at the seaside!

July 28, 2025

We come every year, and love staying at the Vista. The kitchenettes in the room are great and you can’t beat the view from the lanai. We walk to Good Harbor Beach daily, Cape Ann coffee, and fully enjoy the pool! The entire staff is amazing and always friendly and helpful.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

July 23, 2025

The Vista provided anything I could ask for. My family had 3 efficiency rooms in a row. The fenced in front yard gave us a secure feeling knowing that our 2 and 3 year olds and the dog wouldn’t roll down the hill or escape. The pool was a perfect setting to play and cool off. The breakfast hosted daily by Ana was delicious and friendly. Her flowers on the tables were a fantastic touch. Mike was friendly and attentive. The entire staff was helpful, friendly and professional . Our room was immaculate and well stocked. Last, but not least, the location! Wow! We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We love the Vista!!!

My husband & I had a great time staying at the Vista! The location is great, so close to the beach! The staff are very nice and helpful. We loved the view of the ocean from our room. We had an efficiency room so we could make meals in the room if we wanted to. They have a nice pool and patio area. We’ll definitely be back!!

Much more than expected

July 23, 2025

We stayed in a standard room which was as described, very clean and comfortable – no complaints! To me, what blows this place out of the water is the incredibly friendly staff, beautiful view of Good Harbor, pool, and breakfast! The grounds are also well maintained and very pretty plantings throughout. I stayed with a 6 and 8 yr old and they loved it too. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

 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!
