This place was amazing! The room had a fully equipped kitchenette with a stove and plates and utensils and everything! That was extremely convenient and we really appreciated that! The staff were also friendly and helpful and got us taken care of. Shoutout to Tia for getting us set up with our room!

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.
