Let It Be: A 1970 Vintage Shasta Experience in Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree, California
Creating a Desert Retreat That Shines Under the Stars
Tucked away just outside Joshua Tree National Park, the Let It Be 1970 Vintage Shasta offers guests a unique experience: staying in a beautifully restored vintage airstream beneath the vast desert sky. When the owners sought to capture the heart of this serene escape, they knew they needed content that could evoke the magic of solo stargazing, outdoor soaking, and communal fireside chats.
Objective
With Joshua Tree emerging as a top destination for adventure seekers and retreat enthusiasts, the Let It Be property needed to stand out among the growing competition. The goal? To create visually stunning assets that not only highlighted the vintage charm of the Shasta but also communicated the serene, experiential vibe that modern travelers crave.
Impact
During my stay, I captured the raw essence of this desert retreat—from peaceful mornings in the outdoor tub with a view of endless horizons to nights illuminated by the stars from the comfort of the hot tub. Every element, from the intimate Shasta interior to the shared communal spaces, was showcased to emphasize the connection between nature, solitude, and human interaction.
The resulting photography and short-form videos created a surge of engagement across Airbnb and social media platforms. Let It Be experienced a 40% increase in booking inquiries following the release of the content, and the images were featured prominently in their Airbnb listing, enhancing the guest experience before arrival.
The visual storytelling didn’t stop at the booking platform—it extended to social media, where travelers were captivated by the airstream’s retro aesthetic and the allure of desert nights under the stars. The campaign’s success demonstrated how blending nostalgia with modern luxury can captivate today’s travel market.
Client Feedback
"Alex’s eye for detail brought our little slice of Joshua Tree to life. The photos she captured didn’t just show our space—they told the story of a desert adventure waiting to be experienced. Our bookings have never been higher."
