About this property
Soul Care Cottage: 2BR/2BA Oasis w/Outdoor Kitchen & Boho Vibes
Welcome to Your Dreamy Boho Retreat – Clean, Curated, and Full of Comfort
We invite you to see a video tour of the house by going to YouTube and typing in "EI Soul Care Cottage".
Step into a space where design meets function, where bohemian charm blends effortlessly with modern convenience, and where every corner has been curated with intention. This three-bedroom, two-bath retreat isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience designed to soothe the soul, spark inspiration, and provide total relaxation.
From its beautifully styled interiors to its inviting outdoor living areas, this home is the perfect escape for families, friends, couples, or solo travelers looking for a memorable getaway. Whether you're here for a weekend or a season, you'll find everything you need—and more—to feel right at home.

Boho Vibes Meet Practical Luxury
The home’s aesthetic is grounded in a sophisticated bohemian style—think layered textures, earthy tones and thoughtful decor. This isn’t an overstuffed, random space. It’s intentional, soulful, and incredibly clean. Every rug, light fixture, pillow, and plant has its place.
As soon as you walk in, you’ll feel the difference. The air is fresh and the details are welcoming. Cleanliness is our priority, and it shows.
---
Living Room: Relaxed, Spacious, and Thoughtfully Designed
At the heart of the home is a living space that’s both cozy and functional. Settle into a plush L-shaped sectional that’s perfect for long conversations, lazy afternoons, or a good movie night. Need extra comfort? A leather recliner invites you to kick back and unwind.
The smart TV makes streaming a breeze, whether you're catching up on your favorite series or hosting a family movie night. And if you're musically inclined (or just like to tinker), a piano stands ready for you to play.
Surrounding it all? A lush arrangement of houseplants that bring the space to life. A combination of real and artifical fiddle leaf figs, pothos, and snake plants bring vibrancy and peace into every corner.
---
Kitchen: Well-Stocked and Wonderfully Functional
The open-concept kitchen isn’t just beautiful—it’s fully equipped. Featuring all appliances, abundant counter space, and ample storage, it’s stocked with everything from cookware to spices, utensils, and serving dishes.
You’ll find:
A coffee station with starter Starbucks coffee.
A toaster, blender, and microwave
Full-size fridge, stove, and dishwasher
Plates, bowls, flatware, glassware, and wine glasses for up to 6 guests
Cutting boards, chef’s knives, mixing bowls, and bakeware
A rustic dining table offers a lovely spot to gather indoors, but many guests choose to dine alfresco (more on that below).

About the host
Hosted by Amy Mann Woolridge
Hi, we’re David and Amy Woolridge!
We’re so glad you’re considering a stay with us. We live right here on the island and feel incredibly blessed to call Eastern North Carolina home. From the peaceful beaches to the charm of small-town life, we truly love everything about this beautiful area.
Our faith in Jesus is at the heart of who we are. We believe in using what God has given us to serve and bless others—and hosting gives us a special opportunity to do just that.
Amy is the creative mind behind the design of our spaces. As a nurse, she naturally brings warmth and attention to every detail, always thinking about how to make others feel comfortable and cared for. David is the hands-on talent who brings those ideas to life. A true DIY master, he builds, fixes, and crafts just about anything to make our spaces both functional and beautiful.
Whether you’re here for a quiet getaway, a beach-filled adventure, or something in between, we hope you feel welcomed, refreshed, and right at home.
