Sweet Pea
Overview
Throw back to the 70’s in “Sweet Pea”, a beautifully restored & updated 1972 VW camper that sleeps 4.
**Sweet Pea has a manual transmission**
We purchased Sweet Pea as a fulfillment of a dream. After successfully hosting an apartment with Airbnb, we decided to bring our same 5 star service to people looking for adventure along the beautiful New England Coast. From Mystic Seaport along Rhode Island’s beautiful beaches all along the Cape, we are convinced that “Sweet Pea” will make for life long memories. The vehicle has an impeccably maintained drivetrain & a true pleasure to drive.
Imagine an earlier time rambling along sandy back roads discovering new stretches of beach & quaint spots for ice cream before heading back to the campground for a relaxing night in our spacious well appointed camper! The interior has been meticulously restored & features a rear sofa that converts into a full sized bed for 2. The Pop Top has a full sized bunk which also sleeps 2. Sweet Pea now has a fridge/freezer!
What's Included
The bus comes with a beach awning, collapsible kitchen with a dual burner Coleman stove, folding table & chairs. Fresh linens, towels, toiletries all included with your rental. Everything you could need for a vacation along the New England Coast. All of this is included in the cost – no extra add-ons. Just bring your suitcase and good vibes!

Additional Info
**This is a manual transmission**
**No travel outside of Massachusetts, Connecticut or Rhode Island***
Unfortunately due to the age of this vehicle, no children under 13 years old.
“Sweet Pea” has a RI State beach pass allowing for discounted parking at our state beaches.
Please keep in mind, this is a 50 year old vehicle which was underpowered, without power steering and other modern amenities. It does require someone with very recent experience driving a manual transmission!
“Sweet Pea” is great if you:
- Are not in a hurry
- Enjoy “glamping” (glamorous camping)
- Getting thumbs-up

- Enjoy strangers telling you their VW bus stories
“Sweet Pea” is terrible if you:
- Are concerned about getting there on time
