About this property
Ultimate Rustic Getaway - Fully renovated!
Escape to The Rustic Barn at Emerald Lakes Estate, a newly renovated retreat set on 7 private acres surrounded by towering pines and majestic oaks. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation, this charming getaway blends rustic character with modern amenities, making it the perfect escape for families and groups.
Upstairs, the bunk loft features four twin beds, each with its own privacy curtain, along with a convenient half-bath ensuite. Downstairs, the main bedroom offers a cozy queen bed, while the second bedroom provides two queen beds with easy access to the spacious full bathroom and laundry facilities. A fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals with ease, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing stay.
Step outside and unwind around the fire pit, toasting marshmallows under the stars, or fire up the BBQ grill for an outdoor feast. The property offers plenty of activities, including pickleball, tennis, and basketball, ensuring entertainment for all ages. Take a peaceful stroll to Emerald Lake, where koi fish and turtles eagerly await your visit.
For those looking to cool off, the private enclosed pool offers a refreshing swim in its own secluded area. While not a community pool, it is shared with guests only, providing an exclusive and tranquil space to enjoy.
Furry friends are welcome at The Rustic Barn, and large-breed dogs are accepted on a case-by-case basis with prior approval.
Located just 20 minutes from historic St. Augustine, guests can easily explore the town’s charming streets, vibrant nightlife, and waterfront dining. The retreat is also 10 minutes from outlet malls, grocery stores, and local eateries, providing the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
The Rustic Barn is one of three vacation rentals on the estate, each nestled in its own private space. Pre-approval is required for any gatherings or special celebrations. If you’re planning a family reunion or private event, inquire about booking multiple rentals on the property for a truly unforgettable group retreat.

About the host
Your host
Russel and Ali are a married couple who have a deep passion for traveling and embarking on exciting life adventures. We love experiencing delicious food and drinks while surrounded by wonderful friends. Russel, originally from Florida, has traveled extensively as a performer, while Ali, hailing from the land Downunder, made the move to the US in 2011. Together, we have lived in various parts of the world, but none compare to the charm of St. Augustine, Florida! During a visit with our family, we stumbled upon this property and made the decision to sell all our belongings, transforming it into a destination that we can share with fellow travelers, creating unforgettable memories together. We genuinely enjoy connecting with new people and take immense joy in hosting you. Through our own travels, we have come to understand that the place you stay in can greatly impact your overall experience. Therefore, our primary goal is to ensure that your stay is nothing short of exceptional. Please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to enhance your time with us.
