The space
Welcome to The Old Angler House, a unique holiday home that seamlessly blends the rich history of a bygone era with modern architectural elegance. Nestled by the serene shores of Mactan Strait, this charming property invites you to step back in time while enjoying the comforts of contemporary living.

OUR STORY

In the 1980s, an old angler called this house his sanctuary. He lived a simple yet fulfilling life, spending his days fishing in the abundant waters right from the property to the neighboring Olanggo Island. The marine life during that time was so rich and vibrant that the house became a treasure trove of artifacts and stories from the sea.

In our living area, you'll find a display of these preserved artifacts, each with its own tale. The very paddle that the old angler used on his fishing expeditions now hangs proudly on our display rack, a testament to his enduring spirit and the history of the home.

THE TRANSFORMATION

In recent years, this cherished property was inherited and lovingly renovated by its new owners, a pair of visionary architects. They saw the potential to transform the house into a stunning holiday home, while preserving its essence and history. Their goal was to create a space where friends and family could gather and make lasting memories, just as the old angler did in his time.

Hello, I’m Mika. And I like to travel as much as you. It took years of face-to-face sales experience and a variety of corporate pursuits that led me to realize traveling is a passion. My immersion in different cultures shaped the dream of having my own travel-related business. As an avid traveler myself, I know how finding a temporary home in a foreign place can be stressful. I believe in a service rooted in empathy so I always put myself in the shoes of the traveler. Seeing the rest of the world is my lifelong dream, but Cebu City will always be my home. If you’re planning to visit soon, I would be more than happy to host you and show you how it is to live like a local.
