Did you always want to sleep in an Airstream? They are the Mercedes' of the vintage trailer world. Spartans, like an old Bentley, are more collectible due to unrivaled mid-century design, mono-coque aircraft construction and beautiful real wood paneling and cabinetry throughout. Ours is restored and retains its original beauty and function.
All seen only here for our guests delight, Tiny Tiki Retro Hideaway is furnished with one of a kind designer textiles and ceramics, real 1950's decor, and many irreplaceable custom items sourced from recycled, reclaimed and repurposed materials.

Meet the Host

I love the design and creation of textiles clothing and building custom stuff. My home and trailer are an extension of my desire to have stuff that no one else has and to share them with new and old friends.
We enjoy hiking and sailing. We love to hang out on our porch with friends, a glass of Cabernet and a home cooked meal, watching the evening light fade away into a beautiful sunset and then the lights come out below.
