About this property

Cosy Home with Heated Pool

*POOL IS HEATED to 85 degrees from Nov.1st-April 31st. If nighttime temperatures fall below 50 degrees the owner reserves the option to turn the heater off.
Situated just one block from the beautiful Indian River, Dolly's House affords you the best New Smyrna Beach/Edgewater has to offer. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating on the river, or take a ten minute drive to the beautiful beaches of New Smyrna.
A short 15 mile drive up 95N takes you to Daytona International Speedway, Daytona International Airport and more beautiful beaches. Orlando International Airport is approximately 90 minutes away by car.
When you've had enough of the crowds at the beach you can enjoy a day in your own heated pool. After your swim, relax with a glass of wine around the pool or in the screened-in patio. The yard is fenced in for complete privacy in the pool area and there's a grill so you can enjoy cooking and eating outdoors. The laundry room is off the carport, with another bathroom and a shower to wash the sand and salt off after a day at the beach.
The house is located in an older, established neighborhood. Most of them were built in the late 1940s or early 1950s. They are not fancy but they’re sturdy have survived many hurricanes with no damage.

Quiet Retreat

Kathleen was amazing! There were fresh flowers, Homemade Blueberry Ginger bread and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table upon our arrival!!! Delicious Bread btw…Home is close to everything but still super quiet neighborhood. House was really well equipped. The only one thing that was a bummer was the pool was too cold to swim in however it was in the 50s at night.

Relaxing stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dolly’s house! The house was clean, had a great pool, and was well stocked with plenty of towels and other things to help us enjoy our stay. As someone who loves to cook the kitchen had everything you needed! Upon arriving we were surprised by a 6 pack of beer, creamer for the coffee and fresh muffins - such a nice touch! Kathleen was extremely helpful during our stay. We would love to come back again!

Awesome month at Dolly's Place

This wonderful little cottage provides the perfect getaway. The host has thought of everything you might need and is there to answer any question or concern. Located in a quiet neighborhood yet close to everything. We enjoyed being away from the crowds and noise of the beach, but still within a ten minute drive to being parked on New Smyrna Beach. The pool and porch area are private and clean. Can't wait to visit again.

Quiet, calm winter getaway.

Neighborhood was quiet and very calm. The house was well stocked, appointed, and decorated. The lanai and pool were very relaxing. Edgewater is just a short drive from Daytona, New Symrna, and Sanford/Deland/Deltona for lots of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. The house is very close to the Indian River and all of the great local parks. The host was very friendly and easy to contact. Great vacation.

Had a great time!

We loved our stay at the Dolly house. The Patio and pool area is where we spent then majority of our time while we where at the house. It’s very private and relaxing. We was able to visit Orlando, New Smyrna, and Daytona. Location was perfect and the house was equipped with everything we needed.

Great house, amazing host

We spent a bit more than a week in this wonderful house. The host Kathleen welcomed us with a delicious homemade pie, a bottle of sparkling wine and a huge bowl of candy for the kids. Although we arrived late, she welcomed us in person. The house is in a great shape, more than well equipped even with a beach wagon, beach chairs and much more. Pretty close to local beaches, Daytona and Cape Canaveral. Orlando theme parks are some 1,5 hours to drive. Full recommendation, we will book that house whenever we are in the area. Thanks Kathleen for your warm welcome and hospitality.

We would highly recommend this home to our friends.

We had a great stay in Edgewater. Your home was in a great location and worked well for my sons wheelchair. Loved the pool❤ nice and warm and clean. Home was clean. Loved the welcoming touches of homemade muffins and fruit. We have rented several homes and this home was the best equipped one.

This was our second time staying at "Dolly's House" Kathleen is a gracious, thoughtful and accessible hostess. The property is impeccably maintained and every comfort is thought of. The pool is wonderful and the toys and towels provided for beachgoing. We loved the goodies left to welcome us and the personal note. Better than any hotel. You can't go wrong staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Doherty

Host profile image
We moved to Florida from NY in 1999 and live right next door to Dolly's House. We were sailors for over 15 years and we also love motorcycling through the hills of Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. We love to travel and have used VRBO extensively. We spent 3 months in France in 2015, staying in houses and apartments that we found on VRBO. In 2017 we spent 2 months in Italy, touring Tuscany and Rome. 2019 took us to England and Scotland for 2 months. 2022 took us to Brittany and Normandy for 2 months. Every time we travel I find something a host has done that I can apply to Dolly’s House.

Why they chose this property

This was my parents' house and when my mother, Dolly, passed away in 2014, I bought the property. Since I have been so pleased with my own experience with VRBO as a traveler, I decided to put Dolly's House on their website. I'm pleased with how quickly I booked my first guests. I've tried very hard to have everything at Dolly's House that I would like when I am the traveler.

What makes this property unique

There are many houses with pools but very few houses in this area have heated pools. Even though this is Florida, you usually can't swim in a pool comfortably in the winter months.
Dolly’s House is perfect for older travelers with plenty of grab rails in the bathrooms and accordion doors into the bedrooms for ease of access for walkers. There are no steps to struggle with going out to the porch and the master bath has a roll in shower with a drop down seat.
