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.

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.

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.

Cute and comfortable home.

What a great place to stay! Very clean and comfortable. The pool was a bonus. Kathleen was a pleasure to deal with, quick to respond to questions. Central location to hit the beach or see Daytona Beach, and an easy drive to Orlando. We'll stay there again when we travel to see family in Edgewater.

Florida vacation and family wedding.

We usually visit Florida yearly to vacation and visit family. We typically stay in Titusville, as that is where our family lives. This year we tried someplace new and decided on the Edgewater/New Smyrna Beach area. Dolly's place was perfect for us and 2 of our college age daughters. The house was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked, we didn't cook this trip, but if we had wanted to there was everything we needed including spices. Our very thoughtful host Kathleen welcomed us with drinks and a yummy pie. She even had honey for our coffee. She is close by, but never interfered with our time at the house. It was nice to have her near for any questions we may have had. The beds were comfortable, nice linens and plush towels. There were lots of pool and beach towels for us. The were floats, pool toys, beach umbrellas, citronella candles for our time outdoors. The bathrooms were stocked with TP, a first aid kit and extras. I think this is the first time I never had to buy extra TP, paper towels or trash bags for a rental. We were close to NSB and enjoyed trying new restaurants and visiting our favorite regular places nearby. Edgewater is convenient to Titusville, Daytona, NSB, Orlando and several Springs in the area. We really enjoyed our stay at Dolly's Place and look forward to another visit.

Home away from home

My father and I had a wonderful stay at this vacation home, I was very surprised at how accommodating the owners were. Whenever you travel you're always bound to forget something and it was like they had already thought of that and had it there for you. Anything we did use we made sure we replaced with it new for the next vacationers. I would definitely Refer this rental to others. Hopefully it will be available the next time we go to visit my daughter and granddaughter because we definitely would love to stay there again.

Dolly’s house is a perfect Edgewater cottage

Kathleen is the hostess with the mostess. There is no question about it. Thank you for our Anniversary bubbly and the ridiculously delicious muffins and thoughtful fruit. The house has everything you need, seriously. We had an absolutely lovely time in the pool. The house is extremely close to New Smyrna, the amazing beach at the national seashore, Cape Canaveral and our family. We are already planning our return.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Doherty

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.
