Due to the number of family heirlooms and antique item in the home, we no longer accept children of any age.
Built in the final year of the 19th century, this house possesses old-style charm with modern comforts. When we bought it in 2015 it had been unoccupied for 15 years - and it showed! But now there's all new electrical, plumbing, and AC, with beautifully refinished original wood floors, a HUGE kitchen island, modern bathrooms, and super-comfortable beds (1 king, 1 California King, and 1 queen).
Once you book we'll send our curated recommendations about the area plus where (and when) to by food, and which wines from the locally famous San Sebastian winery you may request as your complimentary bottle. It will be on the counter or chilling in the fridge when you arrive!
More about the house...
We've retained many features from the original house, built when William McKinley occupied another, perhaps better-known, white house! Such as... hardwood floors, original doors with all their hardware, and the old (wavy) leaded glass windows. Since we opened things up a bit, we even turned one of the old doors sideways and made it into the front side of the granite island!
The AC works great - very important in Florida! There's a front porch with comfortable chairs and a fan above, plus a back patio where you can grill (propane provided), eat, or enjoy the fire pit. Plug in the lights strung around the patio and you are all set for a relaxing outdoor evening with family and friends.
There are ceiling fans throughout, and plantatiion shutters on all the windows except for the back bedroom, which has blackout curtains.
The larger bath has a tub/shower, while the other has a walk-in shower. Both offer hand grips for anyone who might be a bit shaky getting in and out of tubs and showers.
Please note: there is a $30 per night charge for guests #5 and #6 if you have more than 4 people in your party. This gets calculated automatically when you book, but if you book with 4 or fewer and later decide to bring more people (up to two) you will be asked for the extra payment.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our family of four enjoyed this lovely home, which was just a short 10 minute walk into the heart of St. Augustine. The house was spotless, cozy, spacious and comfortable. The host was kind enough to leave us a bottle of wine to enjoy. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to future guests.
Fantastic property!! Very cute place with plenty of space. Beautiful neighborhood and close to historic downtown (walking distance). Steve was so helpful and had great communication. It was a great experience and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

Beautifully restored, wonderful hosts, location amazing for short walk to downtown! We came for a college reunion girls trip from all different parts of Florida. The pink door was perfect! Thanks so much!!! Karen, Karen, Ann, Teri and Diane!
We had a great stay here. House was immaculate and had everything that we could have needed. It was a short walk to area attractions and shopping. Would definitely stay here again.
Great amenities and great location. Exceeded all our expectations and would recommend staying here to anyone going to St. Augustine. Been to St. Augustine multiple times and Pink door was the best place my family has stayed at hands down. Went for our daughter’s graduation and enjoyed ourselves.
We had a great time. The place was amazing and so neat and full of history. We enjoyed spending time on the front porch. We want to go back and spend a little more time. Great place to stay!
We absolutely loved our stay at Stephen and Sandy‘s beautiful cottage. It was perfectly decorated, cozy and comfortable for me and my friends. The location was excellent… The neighborhood was beautiful and very walkable. It is close to anywhere you’d wanna go to for in historic St. Augustine. Would highly recommend this location and we look forward to another visit.!
This house was absolutely amazing! It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—just a short walk to downtown, making it easy to explore restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful, ensuring we had a seamless experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
The place was beautiful, cozy, charming, clean and all around perfect for our stay. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed and more. The owners explained everything we needed to know in advance, so our check in and time there was effortless. We would definitely book there again!
We spent a week at The Pink Door in St Augustine. The home was spotless, the beds exceptionally comfortable, the hosts very accommodating and easy to reach. We were very pleased with our experience.
This charming, immaculate home was perfect for our 2 day getaway. Beautifully decorated, amazing mattresses, and excellent location. Couldn’t ask for more!
Home is lovely. Although we were on the go every day, the comfort of this home made it a wonderful place to end our day. Would highly recommend and book again next time in St Augustine.

About the host
Hosted by Steve & Sandy Jacoby
Steve and Sandy Jacoby have lived in Saint Augustine since 2015. Steve was born in Jacksonville but mostly grew up in New Jersey. Sandy is from Pittsburgh but mostly grew up in Venezuela and Wilmington, Delaware. Along the way we spent considerable time in South Carolina, Ohio, and Chicago.
In 2012 we started a 501(c) (3) non-profit, Sheep Not Goats, to help people in Nicaragua, the poorest country in Latin America. We built a farm and have focused on providing employment in a small and very poor town called Malpaisillo.
More recently, Sandy taught women there to knit beautiful baby blankets that we sell here in the US, returning all the profits to the knitters. This venture is called Sheep Dreamzzz. We invite you to check out these amazing handmade blankets and lovey security blankets and hope you will consider them the next time you plan to give a baby gift. Our site is sheepdreamzzz.org and we’d be happy to show you some blankets in-person. Just ask!
Why they chose this property
This house was built in 1900 - the very last year of the 18th century when William McKinley occupied another, slightly more famous, white house a bit up the road! While major systems like electricity, plumbing, and heating/air are all new, we made sure to retain a historic feel in the house. Beautiful refinished floors, plantation shutters, original doors with their hardware - even the huge kitchen island has one of the old doors at your feet as you sit at the counter stools!
You'll find plantation shutters throughout, and we've retained features from the original house from when William McKinley occupied another, perhaps better-known, white house! Such as... original doors with all their hardware and the old (wavy) leaded glass windows. Since we opened things up a bit, we even turned one of the old doors sideways and made it into a side of the granite island!
We're an easy walk to most of what Saint Augustine has to offer. We live right across the street and that's exactly what we loved about moving here.
What makes this property unique
"Unique" means "how is The Pink Door Different from other nearby short-term rental options?" The honest truth is that many rentals in town are a short distance from the major attractions. We love our house at 42 Rohde because it is spacious, has a historic feel, and it's easy to get to where you want to go while having a comfortable place to call home while you are in town.
Read the many 5-star reviews and you will see that many people say it's not only the cleanest rental they have every stayed in, but also "the best" they've ever experienced.
It's a great house to "crash" in, with a huge TV, new & solid AC system, and plenty of hangout area on both the front porch and back patio. And there's a firepit and propane grill for your use if you so desire.
