Amazing Christmas/ best house in Bohol and Philippines
Picture do not do this house and property justice. We are from the San Diego California/ La Jolla/Del Mar area and are familiar with high end houses - the “Sunrise House/ Silangan Bilay” is world class and could be placed in any of the finest cities in the world and fit in. Combine that with the caretaker Laarni and the staff that she maintains to care for guests and you are guaranteed a magical and unforgettable experience. This property sits high above the historic river valley of Loboc and Loay on the island Bohol in the Philippines on a prominent ridge that captures the sunrise every morning in stunning splendor. Visible in the distance on the other side of the valley on a promontory are a Cross that is illuminated at night and a shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe of Extramadura. Both appear to watch over the valley and the house.This house is a one of a kind custom built house in a one of a kind location with a one of a kind caretaker and staff.I cannot recommend Silangan Bilay/ Sunrise House more highly.

Wonderful location, house, grounds and housekeeping team
This is a really outstanding property, house and gardens. It's well looked after by Laarni, beautifully kept throughout, clean and beautifully designed. The architecture of the house is really unusual, which makes it all the more of an experience. We also appreciated Laarni's advice on trips out and her help with co-ordination and arranging drivers. The setting of the house is superb, high on the hill, so you have amazing views looking down and across. Sunrises and sunsets are wonderful and the floor to ceiling windows offer incredible views. Finally, our flight was delayed countless times and Laarni was so helpful, arranging pick up from the airport at 3am. I would absolutely recommend you stay in this gem of property.

A unique property in an amazing location!!
The villa is one of a kind for sure! Located on huge grounds on the top of a large hill which overlooks the surrounding jungle and winding river to the sea. Simply stunning! Laarni - the property manager - was so helpful and welcoming. She helped arrange food, tours and activities. All of which is necessary due to the remote location of the villa (which in itself was a big attraction for us). The island has so much to do and discover and the villa is centrally located to be strike out and do all the key attractions.

Loved Every Minute!
Don't hesitate to book this amazing home! The jaw-dropping views in every direction are enough to never want to leave. But then add to that all of the other perks and you want to pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming. We opted to have breakfast made for us every day as well as two amazing dinners during our stay. The smell of the delicious food was enough to motivate even three teenagers to come to the table early each morning. Each days' activities were perfectly orchestrated by Laarni - she took care of every detail and knew how to make everything special and set up everyone to help us each step of the way. You seriously can not get this type of service in any upscale hotel or any other type of place to stay. Our highlights included (but certainly not limited to) giving out candy to the children at the school, walking to the village down the hill and crossing the river to have dinner at the Loboc River Resort (while talking to the people and even cheering on a team during a competitive basketball game), drinking coconut water from coconuts retrieved on the property, relaxing in the pool, watching storms roll through at night and of course, watching the sunrise. We did all of the other amazing touristy activities as well - I can't believe how Laarni was able to help us fit everything in. So many fun family memories were made in this home. We will miss it so much and we are so grateful for our time spent there!

Awesome location for quiet time
This place was amazing. Would stay here again in heartbeat. The house was pristine and gorgeous with a glass wall looking out to the ocean. A few of the lights could use updating/replacing along with the AC units as they we finicky and a little loud. Nothing that detracted from the stay though. Just a note that the property is quite isolated so you will need a driver or motorcycle to get around for sure. But if you want quiet and seclusion this place can't be beat.

Tropical paradise with great service.
Had a four-night stay with five adults. Was greeted by the on-site host Laarni, with a fresh coconut drink poolside, and she explained all the features of the home and area. As explained by the previous guest reviews, the house is beautiful, very clean, and well worth the daily price. The home is beautifully appointed with Asian antiques, an entertainment room with a smart TV, comfortable beds, hot water, good air conditioning, and strong WIFI. There is an on-site cleaning maid and a gardener who also does pool cleaning in the morning. Some have complained these services impact your privacy, but we didn't find that to be the case. We utilized the on-site cook, and all meals were very good, and we didn't have to do dishes. The garden wraps around the house and has a huge selection of tropical plants. The pool was clean and the water temperature was warm. House is on top of the hill, and has a beautiful view of the river, ocean, and area. Home is about an hour from the airport, but Laarni was always available to make transportation arrangements for you at a reasonable cost (P1,800 for 7 passenger airport van). The billing at the end for the cook and food was accurate, with all receipts provided. There are two routes to access the home, with the one from the north in very good condition and the one to the south not so much, but was fun seeing how the locals lived. Needless to say, we wish the home was closer to the USA.

Best in Bohol, must stay.
Upon arrival, we had coconut drinks on the patio, that set the tone for a wonderful stay at the Sunrise house. Laarni was attentive, arranged our driver and activities. We loved our time when Laarni would come over to discuss the next days activities. The staff Marilou, Jocelyn and Adrian were professional and helped to cook and maintain property. When you stay here you’re apart of Laarni’s family. The pictures of the views and home are unbelievably gorgeous, tropical and lush, I couldn’t get enough of it. The glass walls made the views just as gorgeous, inside as out. Many places for our family to gather and chat. I feel honored to stay here. The island is recovering from a typhoon and earthquake, bringing tourism to the island helps the people. Looking at previous reviews, we had hot showers and WiFi was best in the bedrooms, the staff were always around during the day and needed to maintain the integrity of the home.

Incredible villa
This villa is one-of-a-kind. The interior is impeccably presented and it's like living in a work of art. The exterior is equally incredible with amazing views of gardens, rivers, and the ocean. It was also very quiet at night. The caretaker Larni was also amazing and was always a call/text away to help us plan trips/dinner. She lives on-site in the caretakers house. The only two suggestions I have relate to privacy... for example: 1. There were a couple instances staff randomly entered the home without knocking. Considering privacy is listed as one of the benefits, I'd prefer if staff knocked first. On our last day, cleaning staff even entered the home a couple hours before our checkout. It was a bit unnerving to wake up to noises coming from across the hallway and discovering someone was in the kitchen. 2. There's an outdoor bathroom located next to the pool. There was some sort of meeting going on at the caretakers home and the guests seemed to be using the pool bathroom. We were outside at one point enjoying the pool when a lady randomly walked in, didn't say anything to us, and entered the bathroom. As a result, I would encourage the staff to use more discretion when entering the property and/or it's grounds when guests are present though. Despite the minor privacy concerns, the house was incredible and I wouldn't let this deter you from renting it. The pictures don't even do the house justice. It will leave you breathless.

Property is Not as advertised
The property advertised hot shower water and WiFi. Before I booked this listing, I asked owner about these items and he said yes. But cold showers every day and no WiFi until we had to pay for managers extra fees. Then she turned it off right away. Extra fee was for food cooked while there. On the our food bill, she ordered a ‘One Step’ pregnancy test and made me pay for it, plus extra food for her family to eat. Not happy!!

Great experience and location!
We enjoyed our stay at this place. The view was awesome, the house superb and clean, the location very tranquil. We had a fabulous time taking walks to a nearby neighborhood, viewing the sunrise each morning, lounging in the pool and just relaxing! It's an hour away from Alona Beach and other beach areas but close by to Lila Beach for whale shark watching/swimming. Laarni, the property manager, was very helpful throughout our stay, making sure we were comfortable and arranged for in-home massage, mani/pedi service, and local tours. Our cook, Cora, was great and we all loved the food she made for us! This experience was great and we can't wait to go back!

Spectacular stay at the sunrise house
Everything about this place and the staff was amazing. The only downside was the crazy road you have to drive on to get up to it, but once you were there, it was like paradise. Very clean and well-maintained. Remember, you are in the middle of the jungle, so you’re going to find a few spiders and critters around, but not a big deal. Totally worth paying the extra daily fee to have your own personal chef. She did an amazing job and the food was wonderful. We had them arrange a driver for us each day which made things much easier. The one thing I found a little unusual was the fact that the staff, most of which live there on the property but in the outside garage, walk around the yard and into the house kind of at their own pleasure. It felt like we didn’t have 100% privacy. It wasn’t a big deal, but just something to be aware of. Communication was great. They were very accommodating when we were delayed because of bad weather and had to push our trip back a day. No problems at all. We would definitely stay there again!

What a gem
We had an amazing time at Sunrise House and so glad we took the chance to stay here. Yes, it is on top of a mountain and seemingly in the middle of nowhere. But if you are for some reason in need of a large house in Bohol, this is the one. We were 7 adults 4 children and stayed 3 nights. The house is very memorable but I'd say what made our stay is the amazing staff that helped with literally every aspect of our stay. Thank you, Laarni!! What a treat to have home cooked meals every day while on vacation. Flexibility with the booking itself was also great. Keep in mind you will still encounter elements in the middle of a jungle - there are bugs, lizards, humidity, sensitive plumbing, unpaved roads, etc. While they are more than relaxed to have kids around, note the house itself is filled with marble floors and glass walls. We will be talking about our experience at Sunrise House for a long time. It was definitely the highlight of our travels.

Schöne und ruhige Villa nahe dem Loboc River
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit im Sunrise House. Das Haus ist ziemlich abgelegen, ca. 40-45min. mit dem Motorrad entfernt von Tagbilaran. Dafür ist es sehr ruhig und verfügt über eine geniale Aussicht! Es solle auf normale Roller verzichtet werden, da der Weg zum Haus sehr steinig ist und die Pneu damit Probleme haben. Mit einem Auto oder einem Motocross Big Bike ist es jedoch kein Problem! Die Onsite-Managerin Laarni war extrem hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an dieser Stelle! Sie hat uns vollumfänglich in allen Belangen unterstützt. Das ist nicht selbstverständlich und wir wissen das ausserordentlich zu schätzen. Das Haus verfügt über 3 Schlafzimmer. Der Zustand ist gut - jedoch ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen. Leider funktionierte die Spülmaschine nicht. Der Pool wurde täglich gereinigt und war einwandfrei. Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft und die tolle Zeit! Beste Grüsse

This is the most amazing place. We loved every minute of our visit. The view is breathtaking and everything is done to perfection. The staff was very kind and professional. We enjoyed very much meeting the owners, and helping out with the feeding program that they support at the local school. The pool was awesome and very clean. The kitchen was modern, and we liked the ability to cook our meals there. The beds were very soft which was a very welcomed changed from the other places we stayed at in the Philippines. I could go on and on, but I will just say that we highly recommend this place. The house is top notch and the people are top notch also. You will not regret staying here.

Great location, excellent views, amazing architecture and superbly maintained.
We (four adults and three children) stayed here for a week the beginning of April. The location is less than an hour in the included van transport from the ferry dock, between the seaside town of Loay and the river town of Loboc. The very unusual and high end house is in a rural area, though hardly remote. A fifteen minute walk will take you to a village on the banks of the Loboc River; if you cross the hanging pedestrian bridge at the end of the road you can eat at the very good restaurant at the Loboc River Resort. We brought our own food and cooked it in a very well equipped kitchen. A housekeeper came every day and the pool was kept immaculately clean. Laarni, the manager, lives next door and was always cheerful and helpful. We didn't go touring, having been to Bohol several times before, but rather stayed at the house and enjoyed the views, the setting and the pool. I highly recommend this rental. And the WiFi connection was excellent as well.

Exceeded expectations
A house in the middle of nowhere, that was almost a dream. There was nothing undone. Every inch of the property is cared for, maintained, manicured, and loved. I would highly recommend this location to a certain type of traveler. One who requires luxury, but not crowds, one who enjoys quiet times - not beach party times, one who strives for perfection and not random 'hook-ups', one who enjoys the beauty of nature including a random insect here or there - as part of the package. This being said, I would buy this house if I could- it was perfect for us. The staff was VERY good. I highly recommend the house manager, her husband, the chef and household help. Everyone was helpful and right on hand when needed. The foods were prepared in the Filipino style of cooking, which is fine for me, others might need more European flavors and for that, I cannot speak to the chef's skills, we only requested Filipino foods. To be noted, EVERY ITEM to be prepared I had to purchase. The house comes bare with foods on hand unless prearranged. Don't be caught up there with no food. You won't find any for miles and miles. Leading me to the location segment, the location, is REMOTE. Very remote. Be well prepared with foods and personal items needed. Such as sunblock, toiletries, personal hygiene items, alcohol (if you partake), soft drinks, even coffee. Be prepared for needing everything. Nothing will be on hand. The drive up to the house I estimate to be about 2 to 3 miles, on dense, unpaved roads (at points) which can be brutal and unforgiving, if you have back troubles. But once you arrive, you are in paradise. That is the good with the bad. The tradeoff for me is not even a concern. I wanted the remoteness and peace this property offered. I was not looking for nightclubs or bars. It fit us in every way. I cannot speak enough about the cleanliness and preparedness of the house upon our arrival. As for departure, I wish that I had known a large party was coming in directly behind us. We were rather rushed out, unexpectedly. But no issues, as we had no A/C - the power had gone out, and we were more than ready to go get back in A/C in our van. So aside from a rush out, unexpectedly, everything was perfect and I would love to book again.
