      Our 30th Wedding Anniversary getaway
      We thoroughly enjoyed the property and loved the old wood paneling and crown moldings. The home was warm and cozy and the dock and beach front were a hit for our Golden retriever, Murphy. Will be back next year

      Great Family Vacation
      We have stayed at the property multiple times over the past 8 years and continue to return due to the great location and the fantastic beach with a dock for our boat right in the backyard. Being able to walk to downtown Vineyard Haven for a coffee in the morning and hang out all day on the beach is exactly how we want to spend our vacation. The house itself is comfortable and clean. The bathrooms definitely need some love and updates, but are clean and everything works just fine. The beds were comfortable, we all slept great, and the kitchen met our needs. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return again!

      Absolutely gorgeous estate and property. This is a uniquely special home and grounds. We will absolutely be back and can’t wait to return. The whole property is awesome, the layout of the actual house is so amazing I want to duplicate it when I build. Perfect location, perfect home and perfect stay. Ty!

      We wanted to stay forever
      I have never fallen so completely in love with a vrbo property as I did with the Lily Hill house. I spent the week just soaking in its rarified air, haunting the (for our party of 2) unused rooms upstairs, and pretending the beautiful lady in the stairwell portrait was my grandmother who had Surprise! bequeathed this lovely property to me. Likewise, the wood-paneled station wagon still parked in the garage, just waiting for the next trip to Garden or Yacht club. The house is a treasure trove of 50s-90s greatness. Ok in the kitchen there is a drawer full of flower vase frogs😍. If you do not know what these are, do not rent this property. Heiress or not, I felt I was the house’s doting caretaker for our wonderful week there. I fluffed cushions and replaced light bulbs and took great pains to keep things in their rightful places. I’m a decorator so I did change some things to their new (correct ) rightful places- nothing dramatic, just making it as it should be. Evenings on the patio were dreamy- stargazing after dinner, listening to various water sounds and bird calls. Heaven. And there were bunnies- nice ones, in the gazebo area. On our last full day- oh my heart- we were readying a canoe, loaned by an Island friend, for a fishing run when we received a visit from a pair of swans. I kid you not and have videos to prove it. They came right into our little private beach and preened and fussed and generally showed their superiority. We were humbly grateful for their royal consideration. I believe I curtsied; I know I felt like it. All in all, it was magical, splendid, altogether unforgettable. It was only after we returned home and, missing the place so, I googled the owner ( my new grandmother), and the property itself; and, lo and behold, I found that Lily Hill is featured in not one but two coffee table books about the Island’s lovely homes and specifically those with lovely grounds and gardens. Well I couldn’t order fast enough. Now I can visit in print the truly enchanting property I love- until our next trip to dear Lily Hill

      Unsanitary and unsafe
      This was absolutely the worst VRBO experience we have ever had. Vacasa should not be a company you work with. We only stayed at the property for about four hours due to the mold and uncleanliness of the home my husband began to have asthma attacks and I started experiencing really bad headaches. There was mice feces in several places in the home, nails sticking out of the walls, cobwebs everywhere, dirty carpets. I could go on and on. And just to make this clear the appliances are so outdated that the wires coming out of them are not to Code they have cloth sheeting. The washer was rusted, not enough towels provided, no washcloths, Beach towels which is stated in the listing, Not adequate utensils, Basically whoever made up the description of the property did just that they made it up the entire property was falsified on your documentation is how it was presented it was fraud plain and simple.

      The house and location could not have been better - it was quiet, on the water with a great dock for swimming and boats and a quick walk into town. The only downside to the house was if you are interested in cooking, there are no essentials - salt, pepper, etc. so you need to purchase everything and no dish towels. Otherwise the house was fantastic; it was great for several family members to gather comfortably. The outdside and front entrance were gorgeous!

      Spectacular property and VERY interesting home
      My wife and I just completed a very enjoyable week at Lilly Hill. This is by no means a typical rental, so make sure you understand the home before booking. The property, on a five point scale, rates a TEN! The grounds are very well maintained (although shrubs at the front entrance to the home were badly overgrown), and the manicured lawn leads to a private beach and very long dock. The magnificent waterfront views and ready access to the lagoon were the reasons we booked, and we were not disappointed. We had a kayak delivered to the beach and used it multiple times daily. The home is certainly not a generic rental home. It is, instead, like a museum filled with antiques. Numerous grandfather (and smaller) clocks (none functioning), dressers, tables and paintings fill the home. You will find a 1970's Life Magazine with Caroline Kennedy on the cover in a bedroom. It is almost like the owner left unexpectedly (40 years ago) and asked you to house sit for a week. The kitchen cabinets and drawers are filled to the brim with "stuff" and many are quite disorganised. Remarkably, you will find Waterford crystal glasses mixed in with more generic glassware, and Wedgewood china and other beautiful plates and dishes predominate (fortunately, we did not break a single thing during the week!). Alas, this charmingly dated and elegant home contained a distinctly musty, old smell that dissipated after a day of airing out with windows opened. The kitchen appliances and washer/dryer were dated but functional. They will need to be replaced if and when the home is "refreshed." However, the deck table needs to be replaced now and the Weber grill was unusable for us, due to severe rusting of the metal grilling surface. The interior of the home was very clean upon arrival. Communication with the rental manager was fine. Finally, there was a serious misrepresentation on the website. Instead of 2.5 bathrooms, we found one full bathroom and 2 half bathrooms. When we called the manager we were told that attempts to repair a non-functional shower were unsuccessful due to Covid. She told me that previous renters were notified in advance, but we were never called about this beforehand. Had we been travelling with another adult couple this may have been a deal breaker. Also: *large, well-functioning fireplace in the living room *excellent outdoor shower on the side of the flagstone deck *excellent Wi-Fi

      The outdoor space/patio/grounds were perfection. Even the inside of the house we enjoyed (nothing is new, but everything worked and was clean). One problem, only one full bathroom. Despite that we would stay here again!
