Really unique property with fun amenities surrounded by nature. We had a great time and our dog enjoyed exploring and walking the property with us. Host was awesome, highly recommend reserving this amazing place.
We had a wonderful time! Everything was fabulous. The house an amenities were very nice and Ali was a real gem an great with communicating with us. Highly recommend this place to anyone!
Loved this cute cozy cottage. If you’re looking for peace & quiet away from the noise this is the place. This property was very pretty the pond with koi fish & turtles were so cool. We even had a family of turkeys come up to the porch. The house was exceptionally clean with a lot basics provided. The beds were comfy too. Our lil pup enjoyed checking out the grounds as well. There’s a pool too, but we didn’t use it. We had a very good stay here. It is about 20-30 min drive to downtown St Augustine, which we went to a few times. You’ll love this private & serene cottage.
The property is just as pictured. It is very nicely decorated and remodeled. The showers are big, and the water stays hot. The beds are comfortable and bedding is airy. The AC keeps the place cool, but the fans in the rooms help at night. The kitchen was very convenient and had the basics of what we needed for breakfast and lunch. (We ate with local family for dinner, so we didn't cook.) We've stayed at a few rentals over the years, and this was one of the best ones. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

The property is exactly as described and I have zero complaints about it. Our family had a wonderful vacation there. It was nice to feel like our children were safe on the property. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!
What an amazing time! We looked for a place to spend the holidays with our children. The secluded location provided a perfect escape to nature & be able to enjoy family time. The cottage was clean, perfectly decorated & exactly as described.
Very nice property. Nicely decorated and maintained. Very spacious and well appointed kitchen. Loved the patio and yard. Excellent location. Secluded in the woods but close to nearby town. Perfect family vacation.
The property was very nice. Beautiful place and lots to do. Me and my family enjoyed the pond, the tennis courts and the basketball court. The living area was nice , clean and comfortable. Great vacation for me and my family.
This place is incredible! The hosts are wonderful people. My wife n I stayed here for 7 nights on our honeymoon n absolutely loved the place! Everything is exactly as it is portrayed in the add if not better! Very private yet close to fun, in St Augustine (oldest city in USA)
Thank you, Russ n Ali for making our stay a once in a lifetime experience!
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!

Hi Tamatha, thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review. We loved having you and your family on the property. You guys are such a beautiful family and you should be so proud of your kids they were so respectful and engaging. We hope to cross paths again and wish you all the best!
Our stay was wonderful. Very relaxing. Slept soundly. Beautifully decorated cottage accommodated all our needs. Owners are very attentive and gracious. Convenient to World Golf Village, golf courses and renowned Outback Crab Shack Restaurant. Also convenient to downtown St. Augustine. Would highly recommend.
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!
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!!
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.
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.
The cottage and property was so beautiful! The cottage was very clean, fully stocked with all the little extras we may have forgotten. Beautiful decor & updated. It was so peaceful and a wonderful experience! The owner Ali was very professional and quick to respond to all my concerns and questions. Thanks for making our summer vacation Great!
Sincerely,
Michelle & family
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.

Hi Kari, we are so glad that you had a great time and that you chose to spend your girls weekend with us! Thank you for the kind review. We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Until then we wish you all the best.
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,
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.
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!
