General information
What started out as a hobby for us turned into a life-changing business idea….
We bought our first 1965 ‘Tradewind’ Airstream over from America early 2004. Having a holiday home on the Isle of Wight it made sense for us to keep it on the island. The original idea was to use it ourselves and maybe rent it out for the occasional holiday and photo shoot. However, once we had our hands on our ‘trailer’ we really caught the bug and had a ‘what if …’ vision for a whole field of retro caravans….
Our first local newsagent advertisement caught the eye of a travel editor from The Guardian newspaper, who came to stay and gave us a great review bringing in our first spate of bookings. Word spread during 2004 and we were thrilled to find that so many others loved the idea of a stay in a vintage caravan. We made the move to the Island full time in 2007 and 2013 will see our TENTH season (!) with 13 American vintage caravans as well as our various British classic caravans. 18 in the fleet now ….
We are very proud to have been among the very first businesses offering ‘Glamping’ holidays in the UK … and the original Glamping holiday on the Isle of Wight!
As Vintage Vacations became our full time jobs (Our previous 25 year careers were in the photographic industry), we added to our holiday locations with The Mission, The Scout Hall and The Shack. Now trading as The Shacks.
We are always on the lookout for interesting places and never quite know what our next project will be!
We put our hearts into all of our projects – all we can do is what we love ourselves and hope that you will too. We like to think our places are low on twee and high on real ‘vintage’ atmosphere … with a healthy dose of kitsch to stop it all getting too serious!
We are proud to have won several awards ; 2010 Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce business award for excellence (Tourism & Leisure catagory)and 2014 & 2015 Best Place to go Glamping on the Isle of Wight (My Isle of Wight awards)
We hope we can help create some wonderful holiday memories for you.
