The Beach Bus - Skoolie Camping!

Welcome to the Beach Bus!
Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure where the nostalgia of schoolyard memories meets the tranquility of Florida’s coastal charm. Our lovingly converted 2007 Thomas school bus, once a beacon of learning, now offers a serene escape nestled among the whispering palms and lush greenery of Florida’s beautiful gulf coastline! But don't stop there...your only minutes to the best beaches the Gulf has to offer!

Make it memorable, make it
Beach Bus

The space
Secluded Serenity with a Touch of Home Step aboard and discover a cozy haven crafted with care from local materials. The private deck, adorned with outdoor seating and handcrafted tables from the surrounding trees, invites you to unwind under the stars or greet the morning sun with your favorite brew.

Modern Amenities in a Rustic Setting Inside, the Beach Bus boasts all the comforts of home. A full shower, a bathroom with a flushing toilet, and a kitchenette equipped with a full-size fridge, oven, and gas range await to fulfill your domestic needs. Ample seating and storage space ensure a clutter-free stay, while the rear bedroom promises restful nights on a king-size memory foam mattress, complete with a closet to tuck away your clothing and shoes.

Cool Comforts for Warm Florida Days Dimmable lights set the mood for relaxation, and when the Florida heat beckons, two air conditioning units stand ready to envelop you in cool comfort.

From Classroom to Cozy Retreat This unique abode has journeyed from the bustling hallways of a Pennsylvania elementary school to provide you with an unforgettable stay. The Beach Bus is not just a place to sleep—it’s a destination that tells a story, inviting you to write the next chapter!

Beach Bus

This is a wonderful place, very peaceful and quiet. Very close to Manasota beach. The bus had everything you could possibly need and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The owners were very responsive and welcoming. We spent the days on the beach or visiting family. When we’d come back, it was so peaceful and restful. Don’t sleep on this amazing property!!!

Excellent stay

The hosts were very accommodating and friendly and helpful, well also affording me privacy. The bus had everything I needed and was a great spot under the palms and close to Manesota Beach. Would definitely recommend.
