** Please Read THE TWO Notes Below Before YOU Book **
1) THE Cabin AIR Conditioning Does NOT Work. The driver and passenger cab has no working A/C - windows and vents only while you're driving. It is September in Florida. We are telling you this in the loudest way we know how, because we would rather lose the booking than have you find out on I-75. The repair is planned but has not happened yet. Please book only if you are genuinely okay with a hot drive.
2) This IS A Brand-NEW Test RUN. We've been building and selling camper vans for years, but renting them out is new for us. You would be one of our very first guests. Once the A/C is repaired and we have a few trips under our belt, this van goes to $145/night. Right now it's $89 - that's the founding-guest rate, and it's a straight trade: you get a real discount, we ask for real patience. We're still figuring out our process, so something might be clunky. If that's a dealbreaker, we completely understand.
--------------------
Meet Stay Wild - a one-of-a-kind boho camper van, hand-built and hand-painted by our team here in St. Pete. This isn't a cookie-cutter rental. It's a tiny sanctuary on wheels, wrapped in a custom exterior mural, with female-empowerment art and decor throughout the interior.
Sleeping & Living
A full queen-size bed runs the back of the van, with a skylight directly overhead for stargazing. Hammock hooks are mounted across the bed area, and a hammock chair swing hangs inside. The high-top roof means you can actually stand up and move around - a huge difference on a multi-day trip. Privacy-tinted windows all around.
Kitchen
A simple setup: a cooler for food and drinks, prep space, and some basic snacks to start your trip off right. No sink, no running water, and no stove - bring a camp stove if you want to cook. Tons of overhead storage plus a large storage area under the bed, with room for surfboards, coolers, camp chairs, and gear for two.
Bathroom
A basic bucket toilet is provided for emergencies and overnight convenience. There is no shower, no running water, and no black tank. Plan your trip around campgrounds, beaches, or gyms with facilities.
Power
An Everstart marine deep-cycle 29DC house battery runs the interior lights and 12V outlets, kept separate from the starting battery so you're never stranded by a dead house system. No solar, no generator. She does have a shore power hookup.
Where TO Take IT
Stay Wild is built for Gulf Coast beach camping, Florida's state parks, festivals, and long weekend escapes. Fort De Soto, Anclote Key, and the Keys are all easy runs from pickup.
THE Full Honest List OF What This VAN Does NOT Have
- No cabin A/C (said three times now on purpose)
- No working radio. It shows the time but won't play audio. Bring a Bluetooth speaker.
- No shower, no running water, no fresh or waste tanks
- No kitchen sink and no stove. Cooler and prep space only.
- No solar, no generator, no heater, no microwave, no TV, no backup camera
- She's 26 years old. Mechanically sound and recently inspected, but she cruises rather than sprints, and she asks for a little patience.
A Real ASK From US
Because you'd be one of our first guests, we genuinely want your feedback - and we'd love to hear it from you directly before it becomes a review. Message us mid-trip or right after. Tell us what was confusing, what was missing, what we should have warned you about. That's worth more to us than a five-star rating, and it's how this becomes a great rental instead of a rough one.
Stay wild. Live free.
