Robin at check in was delightful. The vista is an older property and thus the room is quite dated. That said, it was clean, and was as described. You actually get a coffee pot in your room, which was nice. Staff super friendly. Pretty view of the water. As long as you don’t mind a retro room it’s a win.

We stayed at the Vista for 2 night and loved it. It was quaint, clean, and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. It had a little patio out back with views of the beach. Some of the other rooms had balconies. The had free, very basic, breakfast outside under a tent every morning. Coffee, juice, fruit, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, croissants,. It was great for us but not if you want a hearty breakfast. Downtown was about a 30-40 minute walk but they also had a taxi for $10 you could take. We forgot to bring sunscreen and the woman at the hotel ran over to her cabinet and gave us a full bottle. On our way home, I received a call from the hotel saying I left my pocketbook there. Since we were 30 minutes away, the woman at the hotel offered to mail it to me. Since I needed everything in it right away, we went back to get it. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back!
