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.

It’s like having your own resort to yourself . Well worth the money . Ever lasting memories . You will not be disappointed . So peaceful . They cook for you they clean for you and they are wonderful people . We also would leave a tip for the workers and they were so appreciative .

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.

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!!
