A Thoughtful Cottage

The owners have planned this cottage with all the vacay possibilities in mind — indoors and outdoors! We enjoyed the rooms, kitchen, laundry facility, outdoor seating, feeding the koi and turtles, walking the property, and our family photo at the fountain. Emerald Lakes is a for certain place to visit again!

Hidden Gem

The hosts were amazing and so accommodating. I loved how secluded it was and the property itself is beautiful. The front yard alone, I could spend all day in. It has a beautiful pond where you can sit and feed the koi fish and is so peaceful out there. Book with Ali, you won’t regret it!

Awesome Getaway

The house itself really plays into its environment. It felt secluded in a positive way. It's a beautiful, quiet place to get away from the city and all the noise. The interior was perfectly sized and gave off a tranquil sense of security and ruralness. The beds were extremely comfortable, and it felt like home. No regrets or complaints. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Best kept secret in St. Augustine!!!

This is such a hidden gem!! It was exactly what we were searching for! The cottage was comfy and a wonderful place to sit back and relax with everything we needed!! It was very short distance to beaches and restaurants. The kids loved feeding the fish and making wishes at the fountain. Alison and her husband were super accommodating! We can’t wait to go back!!

Hidden Gem in the woods

Property is absolutely beautiful, the kids loved feeding the koi fish and making smores. Close to Downtown St Augustine. The stairs were a bit of a challenge, only for me, Im the grandma, only noting this as if you are older or have any knee problems you want to claim the down stairs room. Did not effect the charm of the stay. I will keep this place on my list for my next trip out.

Scottish Highland Games

We stayed there so that my son could compete as an athelete in the NE FL Scottish Highland Games held at the Clay County fairgrounds. It was clean and quiet and worked perfectly for me, my husband and son to have a place to rest and relax. Quiet and had everything we needed. My son won 2nd place overall in the men’s lightweight division! It was a great place,

A nice little stay for five ladies get away

The only complaint we had was wishing we could have stayed and enjoyed the place more than just to sleep and get ready for the next day. This was our first time to St Augustine and my sister wanted a place for us to spread out and enjoy sleeping arrangements along with two full size bathrooms to get ready in. We loved the fresh new surroundings this venue had to offer and the actual rooms are exactly as pictured. Every detail has been thought of and the owner was very informative and readily available for any additional questions or concerns we had.

Excellent Secluded Property

Secluded woodsy property. Had to switch last minute to the house we stayed in which is on the same property. No issues with the switch, property manager communicated it very clearly and timely. No issues with Check in. Very clean, secluded spot, comfortable beds, big kitchen area with bar stools and a separate table to eat at. I had my parents, wife, toddler and newborn with us and it was plenty of space.

End of the school year get away

Russ and Ali are a very sweet couple who are very excited about their little cottage in the woods. The time and effort put into the little details made our stay a very comfortably homey experience. I knew exactly what the cottage would provide and made sure to pack the rest. We visited historical St. Augustine and the beach while at their cottage. It took about 25-30 minutes to drive there, but we loved the privacy provided at their cottage and didn't mind. We highly recommend their get away. Hope they have many years of success in their endeavors. They are a lovely couple. Hope you get to meet the rest of the kids next time!

About the host

Hosted by Ali

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.
