Exceptionally pleasant stay in meticulously cared for resort setting

July 14, 2025

“We all have the power to make someone’s day better.” Quote on chalkboard in breakfast area. The staff at Vista give life to this quotation. The cross training and mutual commitment of staff members is very evident here making a happily memorable experience for guests.

Our room was clean to the corners! Well furnished kitchen, shower had solid grab bars, spacious sink counter. The balcony was private and I noticed that the sliders were new and made the room quiet. The landscaping was very well maintained, covered breakfast area spacious and clean (flowers on the table). Pool was clean, lots of chairs with canopy shade, the grandchildren had perfect time!

The well cared for experience for guests distinguishes the Vista from resorts charging double or triple the rate. Plus enjoy sweeping view of Good Harbor.

I found The Vista extremely efficient from booking to checking out.

The accommodations and lovely grounds with views of the ocean were great.

Breakfast was perfect and staff very nice.

I highly recommend The Vista.

A wonderful place away from Home!

Our third year at The Vista- and of course we loved it. Aside from the location with attention to gorgeous flower-pots, beautiful view of the ocean and wonderful service, the STAFF are absolutely amazing. They are nice, friendly and accommodating which make a visit so much better. Looking forward to see you soon.

Room 23, June 17- June 24.

My wife and I enjoy the lovely Vista Motel. Everyone is friendly , and the staff does a wonderful job ! Mike makes his way around to make sure everyone is happy. And Anna bakes the best breakfast in town. We truly love spending time here every year.

The Vista is a great place to stay when you’re visiting Cape Ann. The staff are friendly and helpful and it offers beautiful views, and beautiful flower arrangements everywhere. You’re on/off the highway or in downtown Gloucester in a matter of minutes. Great choice.

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.

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.
