Say hi to Vinty.
A 1973 VW Micro Bus, named for vintage sun & vintage soul.
She's not a vehicle. She's a time capsule, a kindred spirit, and the centerpiece of every event she rolls up to. Hand-loved, ocean-tested, and built — somehow — to last another fifty years.
Below: the story of how she came home, the little details that make her hers, and the saltwater hippie behind the lens.
Born from salt air & sunshine.
Some businesses start with a business plan. Vinty Sol started with a love — a deep, sun-soaked, barefoot love for Florida, for the ocean, and for the freedom of the open road.
I'm a true Florida native, a child of the 70s, and a self-proclaimed Saltwater Hippie. The kind of person who feels most at home when the smell of salt water is in the air and the sun is warm on her face.
When I found my 1973 VW Micro Bus, it felt like the universe winking at me. She wasn't just a vehicle. She was a time capsule, a kindred spirit, and the beginning of something beautiful. What started as a passion project slowly became something I couldn't keep to myself.
Vinty Sol is the name I gave to that feeling. Vinty for Vintage — because the best things are made to last. Sol for Sun, and for Soul — because every photo, every laugh, every moment captured inside this bus carries a little bit of both.
A little about her.

The Vibe
Slow, warm, and a little bit barefoot. She brings golden-hour energy whether it's noon or midnight.
Hand-loved.
Every detail of the bus has been touched, tuned, and polished by the people who love her most.
Unhurried.
We show up early. We stay late. We let the night breathe.
Florida-grown.
Born here, raised here, salty here. Every ounce of this thing is local.
The soul behind the lens.
I'm a born-and-raised Floridian who has always believed that life is better lived close to the water. Growing up in the 70s gave me a deep appreciation for things that are handmade, unhurried, and full of character.
When I'm not rolling up to events in the bus, you'll find me somewhere near the ocean — barefoot, grateful, and soaking up every bit of this beautiful Florida life. I pour that same spirit into every event I'm a part of, because I truly believe your memories deserve something more than ordinary.
Vinty Sol is my heart on wheels. I can't wait to bring her to yours.
