My wife and I stayed in a second floor efficiency room which had a king size bed and overlooked a beautiful swimming pool below. The room was spacious, confortable, and included all the essentials. The view from the balcony was fantastic, and included Good Harbor Beach, Twin Lights on distant Thatcher Island, and a saltmarsh filled with egrets and even... more

This motel was wonderful. Everyone was very helpful, friendly and extremely pet friendly. It was a wonderful vacation for my dog and I. I would highly recommend this motel - great pool, close to Good Harbor beach, and we walked into downtown Gloucester. We stayed in a 1st floor efficiency. Guests were thoughtful, quiet, and everything was wonderful. Hope you... more

My husband and I just got back from a great week-end in Gloucester. The Vista is affordable, the staff was pleasant and helpful, the location is only a short walk to Good Harbor Beach.

The Vista also offered discounted parking passes for the beach--nice... more

I booked through calling the motel directly. The woman asked me if... more

The hotel was very nice and the view was great. When we arrived I paid for 2 rooms with my credit card and they put the money on hold which was fine. Upon leaving, the desk clerk assured me that when the charge is put through the money would then come off hold and go against the charge. Come to... more

Hadn't seen any reviews on AAA or TripAdvisor on the motel and was concerned it might be a dump. It was only mentioned in CapeAnnVacations.com. It was a very pleasant surprise. All rooms overlooking the water, patios outside the rooms. Very pleasant staff, pool, passes available for the beach (about 1/4 - 1/2 mile away). Rooms were dated. Refrigerators in... more

Great recommendations for dinner and directions to nearby towns. more
