We’re Carolyn and Nick — partners in life, adventure, and now Wild Souls. This place started as our dream for a more connected way of living, and we feel lucky to share it with the people who pass through. Carolyn loves to make beautiful things, brings a sharp eye for detail, and has a deep sense of caring about the world. Nick is trying to ditch his computer job for a life of curiosity and fun. He loves an active life and social game nights. We both love long dinners, exhausting surf sessions, a good glass of wine while watching the sun go down, and beach time with our dog, Paddington. Wild Souls is a reflection of the life we’re trying to build — one rooted in presence, play, and connection.

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway: a cozy, sunlit house where you can surf in the morning, work in our ocean view coworking space, cook with strangers-turned-friends, and feel right at home along Portugal's stunning coast. Walk to the stunning Praia do São Lourenço for sunset, a quick dip, or a chilled out surf, then spend the evening gathered around the fire pit and relaxing in the steaming jacuzzi. You can spend the day exploring Ericeira — a charming surf town known for its cobblestone streets, fresh seafood, and laid-back vibe — or just stay close to home, lounging in a hammock, sharing stories over coffee, or joining one of our community dinners.

Discover the magic of Ericeira — a picturesque coastal town where surf culture, nature, and tradition come together. Just a short walk from our house, you'll find Praia do São Lourenço, a peaceful beach perfect for surfing, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the sunset. Explore the vibrant streets of Ericeira, lined with blue-and-white buildings, family-run bakeries, and seafood restaurants serving the catch of the day. Stroll the seaside cliffs for sweeping ocean views, visit the local markets, or take a day trip to the nearby Mafra Palace or Sintra’s enchanted forests. From world-class surf breaks to scenic hiking trails and cozy cafés, the Ericeira region is a haven for anyone looking to savor life by the sea.
