SUNRISE GLORY - BEAUTIFUL, PRIVATE, MOUNTAIN HOME!

There is a magical place, between the earth and sky ... Sunrise Glory .. We watched the world go by.

You will instantly find yourself decompress as you are lured into the ever changing vistas of the mountains. Your senses are heightened by the intoxicating smells of Ylang Ylang and the sounds from the rainforest jungle. For one short month, we spent endless days drinking in the sultry beauty of Costa Rica, using this beautiful home as our base. Lynne and Andrew, our gracious hosts, were such a support, and we can't thank them enough for sharing their exquisite home and lovely country. We would return in a heartbeat.

dejando a nuestros corazones en Costa Rica ...

We have recently returned from an amazing vacation spent in a home most hardy Mainers only dream about! Sunrise Glory is a beautiful gem nestled in the lush paradise of Costa Rica's rain forest. High above the town of Dominical, this truly glorious and very private residence is the ideal spot for travelers who want to experience the stunning flowers and exotic creatures of Central America without leaving the comfort of pristine accommodations.
Never having been to Costa Rica, my husband and I relied on stories from friends and travel guides to plan our trip. Along with all the exciting opportunities we anticipated, we expected to rough it. We expected challenges with our housing. We expected to struggle with the language.
Happily, what we experienced instead was an ideally maintained and beautiful home, (that we really hated to leave for a new adventure every day), equipped with all the toys and paraphernalia we could possibly need to enjoy daily trips to the beach, explorations to the nearest towns, and daylong jaunts to several beautiful national parks. We welcomed a swim in the sparkling clear pool every day, always the perfect temperature to complement the gentle mountain breezes.
A cleaning service kept the house immaculate and a gardener unobtrusively maintained the extensive yard and gardens. All the flowers and wildlife we expected to see in Costa Rica were actually in our
very own yard.
Perhaps best of all, the people who maintain this gorgeous hacienda and the people who work in the stores and services in Dominical and surrounding towns are warm, generous, welcoming folks who transcend the language barrier with wide, beautiful smiles and dancing eyes.The people we met embraced the opportunity to make us feel as welcome as possible. Additionally, the home owners supplied an extensive and detailed notebook of all the information a visitor could possibly need to find beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, and the markets that supplied food and spirits to embellish our vacation.
We highly recommend this property. In fact, we are telling our family and friends that we have found Shangri-La!

We had the pleasure of staying at Sunrise Glory with Doug and Melanie Mitchell in February 2011. We agree wholeheartedly with everything the Mitchells stated in their review. Sunrise Glory is a slice of paradise ! The owners, Andrew and Lynne are wonderful people who made our stay even more enjoyable than we could have imagined. They have a beautfiul home with all the amenities located on a gorgeous property. Nothing compares to waking up to a beautiful sunrise in the morning in the mountains and spending the days at the nearby pristine beaches. Returning later in the day to cool mountain breezes and a pleasant dip in the pool with a glass of wine is a treat to embrace. Thanks again Andrew and Lynne for everything but most of all for becoming our good friends. Jim and Sandra
