Historic Silver Beach house - 1 block from downtown State St.

BEST LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN ST. JOE!
This beautiful historic house is only a short block from State St. restaurants, wineries, and boutiques. Just one block to the bluffs that will take you down the steps to Silver Beach. You can see downtown St. Joe and the bluffs from the front porch of the house!

Located on State St. in the Historic District, the "McNeil House" was originally built in 1855. While it still holds its historic charm, it resonates the coastal beach life!
We all love our pets and hate to leave them behind, so we welcome up to two well-groomed pets as long as guests agree to follow our pet rules. As a courtesy to future guests that may have severe allergies to pets, we DO NOT allow pets on the furniture or bedding, and guests must clean up any additional shedding. Pet's must be crated when left alone. Guests must pick up after them outside. We charge $175 Per pet. Please let us know if you'll be bringing a pet.

Not as described
The home was advertised as “No pets allowed,” When we got there the cleaning person was just leaving and commented that the prior guests had a large husky and she tried to get all the dog hair up, but wasn’t certain she got all of it. I looked up the listing Ava sure enough, it stated “no pets allowed.” Cleaner said many guests bring their dogs to this home. I communicated to the host that we booked the home under the assumption that no pets were allowed. Then I sent photos of the dog hair EVERYWHERE. The first night, sitting in the couch in the living room, I felt my asthma start kicking in. TBF, it also could have been that it was a 100 year old home and the basement where you need to go down to put the towels in the wash is old and musty so I’m sure there’s mold going on as well—which is to be expected in a home this old. Host did give us a $100 cleaning fee refund. Home was not as well furnished as we are used to with other VRBO’s. No salt, pepper, or any spices. No aluminum foil, waxed paper, ziplock bags, leftover containers. Many light bulbs missing. Listing states fireplace; it was actually just a piece of furniture with an electric fireplace for show only—no heat given off and in my mind, NOT a fireplace. Listing also stated there was a grill. The grill was in the attached garage and looked like it hadn’t seen the light of day in years. No way we were putting our food on it. The location is 10/10 but otherwise we would’ve passed on this rental.

Excellent Accomodations!
A large group of friends stayed here based on the number of rooms, beds, and short distance to the cute downtown area and the lake. We all enjoyed our stay. This house has a lot of charm and is on the older side, but being over 160 years old you have to expect settling in the house. I would stay here again!

I had a great stay at this house! Plenty of room inside to accommodate my big group. It was also walking distance to the beach and some local restaurants. Definitely worth the stay.

Amazing location
We had a fantastic time for our week stay at this property. The location is perfect, only a 1 block walk to the downtown area and 2-3 blocks to the bluff leading down to the public beach. The house itself isn't as nice as some of the other properties we've stayed at with a similar cost, but the pictures are a fair representation and the tradeoff was absolutely worth it for the location. We'd gladly stay here again.

Perfect!
The 12 of us spent 3 wonderful days in this centrally located house which offered us Krasl Art Museum, Silver Beach, and several restaurants within a short walk. The house itself has air conditioning, a beautiful kitchen and enough space that everyone has a sense of privacy. So comfortable and relaxing!
