About the host

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

It is the perfect area, it's quiet, and the surrounding nature is breathtaking. You feel like you are in the country but only 7 minutes from all of the local restaurants and stores and only 15 minutes from downtown st Augustine.

What makes this property unique

You won't find anything like this property in the St Augustine are. You'll have your very own private cottage fully renovated and fully functional, along with your own private yard, bbq, and fire pit.
