The Barbie-inspired caravan that’s ‘perfect for a girls’ getaway’ in the UK – and it’s right next to the beach
THERE’S a Barbie-inspired seaside holiday caravan right here in the UK that’s “perfect for a girls getaway”.
Childhood fans of Barbie will have dreamt about staying in the iconic pink house and though the Airbnb listing isn’t a mansion, it certainly delivers.
People have been leaving raving reviews about the holiday park in Camber Sands by ‘superhost’ Cassandra, which features three bedrooms, four beds and one and a half bathrooms.
“Just had a well overdue girls trip to Dixie Daydream which was fantastic. The photos really don’t do the caravan justice – it’s amazing inside,” one person wrote.
Another said: “I went on a girls weekend and it’s the perfect cute getaway, a hidden gem in camber.
“Less than a 5 min walk to an amazing beach and a short drive to Rye and Tillingham, which we visited for dinner. All the girls loved their time there and all the cute little touches!”
While a third added: “Great location for a girls weekend away”.
Although the exterior of the caravan looks unassuming with white walls, the interior is where this Airbnb really shines.
The living room is painted pink with a bright orange couch, leopard print cushions and pink accessories, including curtains, foot stools, tea cups, and a neon sign that reads: ‘Girls Girls Girls’.
The fireplace is surrounded by pink tiles, too, with a plush velvet armchair in the corner. Next to this, the hosts placed a drinks trolley with a large cocktail glass alongside a bottle of pink Champagne.
Meanwhile, the kitchen is decked out with pink cupboards and hexagon-shaped tiles, too.
Above the stove, there’s lion-themed wallpaper, a feature that remains true to the description of the two “maximalist” hosts.
The pink fridge is directly opposite a round, glass dining room table, with a bar right next to it that has a golden shaker and champagne flutes.
The three bedrooms are also a sight to behold, with one featuring pink wallpaper with a lion pattern across it.
The lampshades are also lion-themed alongside the main pillow on the plush pink bed.
The second bedroom, on the other hand, is a lot darker in its decor with a black and pink floral themed wallpaper and pillows on the bed.
The bedsheets are also in black and hot pink while a leopard print light hangs directly above.
And the brightest room of them all is one with twin beds and a heart-shaped headboard with a pink zebra patterned wallpaper behind it.
There’s also a bathroom with three shelves above the toilet, where the hosts have placed different Barbie dolls dressed in ball gowns, swimsuits and workout gear.
Outside, the caravan has a little terrace that overlooks the beach, where the hosts have placed a purple bench alongside a matching lion statue that wears a gold crown.
Beyond it is the stretch of golden sand on the beach, which is a short walking distance away.
A night’s stay in this Barbie wonderland is £300, but with the incredible interior and stunning beach views – it’s worth it.
And though the Airbnb itself is amazing, there’s loads to do in the area too. For starters, you can hire a bike for the day and explore the surrounding area, including a trip to Rye and the countryside.
Thrill seekers can also try their hand at kitesurfing, where beginners can get lessons for the day from £109.
In the evening, you can enjoy The Rye Waterworks, which is the first Micropub to open in South East Sussex.
Originally a water pump house for 300 years, it was then used as a soup kitchen in the 1890s and has since been turned into a micropub.
Ale and cider start from £3.70 and for food, one reviewer said: “Only food available are Scotch eggs and Pork pies but you won’t be disappointed with either to accompany your beer or cider”.
Meanwhile, this is how to enjoy an action-packed family staycation in Camber Sands.
