A few friends and I spent the weekend here during the COVID-19 pandemic, and couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. This is a motel, but don't let the accommodation-type fool you — our stay was top notch, and the service was better than at most hotels I've stayed at! Our room was clean and comfortable, and the grounds were immaculately kept. The breakfast was surprisingly good and served safely. The blueberry bread was yummy, and the hard boiled eggs were cooked perfectly (this never happens at hotel breakfasts — haha!). The service was fantastic — staff was friendly and helpful, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I'd definitely stay here again and will certainly recommend The Vista to others!

We discovered The Vista this year during the difficulties of getting away during the summer of Covid-19. Not only was The Vista safe and secure and spotlessly clean in every respect, but the staff are beyond accommodating, every room clean and quiet and with a spectacular view, great breakfasts and heated pool and overlooking all of Good Harbor. Great location, owner Laura is warm and helpful and considerate in every way. We stayed four times this summer, in July and August, just by ourselves twice and bringing family members with us twice, and loved every moment. Can't wait to return!

My boyfriend and I had room 5, with a full ocean view. Room was impeccably clean and offered many lovely touches. We were beautifully greeted by Yvonne ... that woman is really good at her job! She brought such fresh energy to welcoming us and explaining everything, including amenities and Covid protocols. The pool was a plus, as was the complimentary breakfast. Normally, I don't go for these ... they consist too often of sugary foods, when I really just want something healthy. The Vista has a wonderfully winning formula: hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, the best herbal tea I've had in a long while (or coffee if you prefer) ... and, for that touch of indulgence, blueberry bread. On the whole, The Vista harkens back to an earlier era ... the '70s maybe, but is the cleanest, most creatively and thoughtfully managed and maintained motel I've ever stayed at. Plus it's got a great location, the ocean views are better than the pictures lead you to believe ... completely removed from the hub-bub of Gloucester, but so easy to get there when you want to. Overall incredible value for the money.…

What a lovely review, thank you! I'm so glad you mentioned Yvonne, she is a gem and very, very good at welcoming each an every guest, we are so lucky to have her. I am thrilled you enjoyed breakfast. It has been a challenge this year to create an alternative to a buffet. I really appreciate your compliments, this year they mean so much. Please do stay with us again. Best, Laura
