About the host
Hosted by Ali
We are Russel and Ali, a 30-something couple that is passionate about good food and drinks, travel, and going on adventures. Russel is a native-born Floridian who has traveled the world 5-times. Ali was born in the land Downunder and made her move to the USA in 2011. Together we have lived all over the place, but there is no place quite like St Augustine, Florida. After stumbling across this property while on vacation, we decided to sell everything we own and turn it into a destination experience to share with special travellers who we can make memories with. We both enjoy connecting with new people and we are sincerely happy to host you. In our travels, we have realised the place you stay in while visiting can make or break an experience. Our goal is to make your experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make your stay better.
