Airstream trailers are one of the most popular American symbols in the world, as well as symbols of a carefree and adventure-oriented lifestyle. Plenty of the vintage models have been converted into lovely glamping alternatives across the U.S., but only a handful can be found in some unexpected locations around the world.
Vintage Airstreams seem to be at home in a desert landscape or somewhere in California. But it’s quite surprising to see one surrounded by a tropical forest and turned into an exotic retreat. This is the case of a 31-foot (9.4 meters) Land Yacht Sovereign from 1973.
It was shipped all the way from the U.S. to Costa Rica by its new owner from the UK. That happened a few years ago when that owner, an ex-pilot who happened to fall in love with Costa Rica, wanted to find a sustainable income source in the country so that he could live there permanently. He knew that a vintage Airstream would be an unusual and, therefore, more attractive alternative to hotels. Plus, it was perfect for couples or solo travelers.
This is how Airstream by the Sea was born, hosting two of these beautiful trailers turned into tiny homes hidden in a green paradise close to the beach. Both of them are as modern as can be and beautifully styled. The Sovereign offers a comfy queen-size bed with an en-suite bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen area, and a living area. There’s even a dedicated workspace featuring a desk for those who work remotely.
The Airstream also comes with a small but charming deck, perfect for chilling in the evening or barbecuing. An outdoor shower, plus several hammocks, are the perfect additions to a spot that’s meant for surf lovers, and modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, TV, and air conditioning are also included.
Airstream by the Sea confirms once again the incredible versatility and popularity of these classic trailers. Instantly recognizable, they are an unmistakable part of this modern concept known as glamping.
