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.

Experience the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and rustic charm at The Rustic Barn.

Great first time VRBO experience!

My Finacé and I stayed here for our wedding and this was my first time using Vrbo. The owners made it wonderful! Everything was clean and the property itself was beautiful, I plan to stay here again down the road. Owners were very nice and responded fast to any inquires we had. I highly recommend staying here if you want to stay somewhere on the outskirts of the city. It was very relaxing and peaceful.

Great QUIET Stay

Totally recommend a family stay here. Beautiful property and house renovation with a big coy pond stocked with hungry fish. Close to St Augustine and Mira Bella for shopping and food. My daughter loved the pool and sleeping upstairs by herself (until it got dark and the she shot downstairs to sleep with mom). My only recommendation for the owners are some extension cords to make outlet access easier. 10/10 stars!

Anniversary weekend

Perfect location to get away and celebrate our anniversary. We really enjoyed the outdoor entertainment area. Including having cocktails at the fire pit. The outdoor kitchen is a nice touch. The inside was very clean with a welcoming atmosphere. The refrigerator was well stocked with ice. We must say that the large sliding closets mirrors were the best. Need I say more. Thanks for having us!

Close to my family

I chose this place because of the location. It is about 2 minutes from where my family lives. When we got there we were blown away by how beautiful it was. It was a short trip and we never got a chance to get in the pool because it stormed. I don’t know what kind of mattresses were on the beds but it was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. I want to get one for my bed at home now. We will definitely be coming back.

Great stay - read if someone in your party has mobility issues

We were very happy with this property. It was comfortable and the grounds were beautiful. Having neighbors was nice and it felt safe. The property next door has goats that we could see from our window, and there was a roosting crowing in the morning (it wasn’t too loud). The space worked for my family, but there are a few important things to note if you have young toddlers or mobility issues. The steps on the stairs are not equal height, and the landing meets a window, so if you were to fall, it would be possible to go through the window. The gaps in the banister were also quite wide and appeared to be 4”. The downstairs bathroom is elevated compared to the rest of the floor, and requires taking a step up to enter. The downstairs bedroom with two beds is sunken and requires going up a step and then down a few. The stairs would’ve made me nervous with a baby or young toddler. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Ali

Host profile image
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.

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.
