Casa Gloria is a great house for a family and/or group of friends. Resting up in the mountains, the views are amazing. Sunsets in Nosara are legendary and sitting poolside enjoying the show is unbelievable. Wild life is abundant - the capuchins come to visit early in the morning and just before sunset.
Liza, the owner, helped us out tremendously with restaurant picks and adventures. Definitely recommend the Kaya-Nosara boat trip.
The roads are a little treacherous but that’s Nosara. You get used to the dirt roads pretty quick. The beaches are only 20-30 minutes away depending on which ones you visit.
We would highly recommend Casa Gloria !! Our group was all adults and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The fresh eggs from the chickens was an extra bonus. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Beautiful Home in Nosara
My wife, three kids and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Cassa Gloria in hills just above Nosara. The property was beautiful - just as advertised. Beyond the accommodations, our host, Liza and the staff at the house were amazing. They not only made us feel at home, they helped with recommendations and arrangements for surf lessons, zip lining and dinner., etc Thanks Liza.

Amazing, casual elegance, gorgeous views
Casa Gloria is an amazing house that is so comfortable yet very elegant. The grounds are filled with flowering bushes and the view of the Pacific Ocean is breathtaking! We loved waking up in the morning and drinking coffee outside on one of the chaise lounges and then heading to the beach for a few hours. We would then be so excited to return to the house to swim and nap and watch the sun set in the Pacific! Most gorgeous sunsets I have seen! It was so nice to be in the hills away from everything!! We absolutely loved the location of this house. It’s so private. Liza is a wonderful hostess and was there for us any time we needed her!

perfect
My husband and I, our 4 teenagers and our little guy, 5, stayed at Casa Gloria over Spring Break. After much complaining about the 2 hour drive from Liberia airport, all were so grateful for it when we arrived. Everybody had the best time! The house is new and clean; beautiful! It is a great vacation house in that there are spaces to congragate but also private spaces to relax. The pool is beautiful (was nice and cool always) and was used thoroughly during our stay!! The views are stunning from this house- both mountain and water views. We canceled a couple outings because all the kids wanted to do was stay at the house.. hahaha. However there is LOTS to do within a short distance of this place- zip lining, surfing, fishing, fantastic restaurants, very good doctors, etc.. Our stay was during the end of dry season and it was so nice.. not a single mosquito or biting bug we could sleep outside during the day. Weather was amazing.. everything. Liza is the owner and made the trip perfect. She is literally on call and poor thing I bugged her quite often but she was always always happy to help, wants to help and set up many of our excursions, dinners etc. Casa Gloria is a beautiful property with a great location. We will be back!

Casa GLORIOUS
Casa Gloria now has a new name for us, "Casa Glorious."
This was our second trip in 6 months to the Nosara region of Costa Rica. For the record, we are going back in December as well. We are in love. If this is your first time to Costa Rica, this is the area you want to visit.
Casa Gloria is absolutely stunning. The architecture. The views. The sounds. The cleanliness. The pool. The location. The owners. The help. Everything about it is beyond special.
We cannot recommend this house enough. Can't wait to go back. If you want a renter's point of view, feel free to ask the owners for our contact information. We will gladly answer questions.
Pura vida.

The best vacation
I couldn't recommend Casa Gloria (and Nosara) any higher. A group of friends came to Nosara eager to surf, which we did, but every day we found it difficult to leave the comfortable confines of this beautiful property. The views are spectacular and it was so relaxing just lounging by the pool. Liza had great recommendations for restaurants, beaches, activities (surfing, paddleboarding, yoga, massages, canopy tours, etc) and she went out of her way to help us make arrangements. I would (and plan) to come back in a heartbeat. I'd recommend Casa Gloria to my friends, my parents, really anyone. My only reluctance is that I don't want the house to be booked in perpetuity...
