Hidden gem of Daytona Beach history. A Victorian style house just a couple blocks from the beach and right on the river. Beautifully restored.

We had Victorian Tea at the Lilian Place Heritage Place. Lillian Place is a lovely Victorian house. The food was delectable and the tea was very good. The volunteers who served were absolutely wonderful and a joy. And the work they do in preserving historical homes is highly commendable. Highly recommend.

Its an interesting old home worth saving and maintaining. Theres quite a dedicated staff of volunteers. I just went to their fundraiser tea, they did try and the food was nice enough (really good chicken salad) but it was Not a real tea. This might not bother most locals. Friendly volunteers without an understanding of serving fundamentals(e.g.stacking the plates tableside) or etiquette . .. of course it was hard to serve with all those red checked tables crammed in to the max.

Was here for a wedding...while it looks nice from the road up close it was kind of worn down banister moved if you touched them. Windows covered by plywood that kinda thing. But it had a great view of the water so it was a beautiful outdoor wedding

I attended the Tea that they offered the third Tuesday of July. It was a totally horrific and unpleasant experience. The lady that ran the gift shop was pushy and obnoxious. The ladies that served the tea and food were disorganized and rude. One lady, after pooring my second cup of tea suggested that I drink it out of the saucer like other lower class women do. I was astounded at her comment. The food, such as it was, was either frozen convenience items or old and stale. The scone on my plate was no larger than a silver dollar, about twice as thick as a silver dollar, and at least 2-3 days old. Most of the plate was taken taken up with a large pile of fresh spinach, stems still on, with no dressing or means to eat it. The Tea was served in the Hodkiss House where there was no air conditioning - it was miserable in there. I was offerred a mimosa when I first came in and only after it was served did the lady tell me it would be a $5 donation and without asking me at checkout, they automatically charged me for it. The volunteer cashier was rude and disorganized. So, for $25 I got a frozen eclaire the size of half my thumb, a miniscule stale scone, a frozen piece of cheese cake with an Oreo on top (really? I didnt know the Victorians had Oreos) a 2 oz mimosa and two cups of tea. The so-called tour of Lillian Place was self-guided with no narration and only two floors were available to view. And of course, no air conditioning.I will do my best to discourage anyone I know from visiting this site in Daytona Beach FL. The volunteers were generally rude, pompous, and all about the money. What a total disappointment!!
