Sunrise House sits privately atop a hill with panoramic views of the Bohol sea and the Loboc River valley. It is a 410 square-meter single-story concrete and glass (floor-to-ceiling) home with marble floors and wainscoting throughout. It includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a living room, a TV room, a screened porch, a kitchen, and a moated dining area.

All rooms are air conditioned and bedrooms additionally have ceiling fans.

Other amenities on the property include a swimming pool and hot tub with waterfalls (hot tub available beginning 1 August 2025), a giant chess board, terraced outdoor dining, a full-sized outdoor pickleball/basketball court (with tennis and volleyball) and an orchard area with nearly 100 cacao trees.

Coconut palms feature prominently throughout.

The entire property is 3.3 hectares, to which you will have full access and use, with the exception of staff quarters, which are located at one end of the property, out of site from the main house and facilities (excepting the basketball court).

Sunrise House is situated above the city of Loboc, centrally located in the province of Bohol: approximately 40 minutes from the capital city (Tagbilaran), 50-minutes from the nightlife center (Alona beach, Panglao) and one hour from the popular Chocolate Hills.

Getting to Bohol:

Jeju Airlines provides direct service from Seoul, and Bohol is well serviced from Manila.

Alternatively, a two-hour ferry may be taken from Cebu.

Private Helicopter service from Cebu is available for $2,000 - $5,000.

Wherever/however you arrive in Bohol, your reservation includes car service; a driver will pick you up and deliver you to the property.

About the host

Hosted by Laarni

Host profile image
Sunrise House was built by Dennis and Ellen Freed from Big Timber, Montana.

Why they chose this property

Denny and Ellen searched for over a year to find the perfect location with sweeping views of the hills overlooking Loboc River and the Bohol Sea. We have numerous coconut, mango, cocoa, papaya, avocado trees, and banana plants. We enjoy cool nights, gentle breezes and escape from the noise and hustle of the city, and the Sunrise House is the perfect place to do just that!

Out of all my travels, I have never been to a place where the people there will bend over backward just to make you feel at home, even if you have never met them before. It is such a hospitable land and I have never even had so much as a sour look from anyone in 20 years. Perfect for vacation and family time.

What makes this property unique

Private setting, onsite security, onsite hostess, swimming pool, basketball/tennis court, facilities to accommodate corporate retreats and training, as well as 24-hour accommodation by our on-site manager who lives in her own home on the property.
