    We enjoyed our stay at Crystal Villas had plenty of room for our two families and was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was a block away and was beautiful. Cute neighborhood and friendly owners who were very responsive. Shuttle service to the beach and close to everything. Thanks for sharing your home we enjoyed our stay!!

    Cute Counts was the PERFECT beach house for our family of 9! Beautiful home and very CLEAN. The hosts have every detail covered, the house is completely stocked with everything a family with kids could need and want for a week at the beach. The free beach shuttle was a huge plus, making trips to the beach a few blocks away even more convenient. We hope to be back!

    We had a great week in Destin. The house was perfect for our family of 10 and the kids really enjoyed the bunk room and games at the house. We used the shuttle to and from the beach almost every day for our grandparents. The host was very nice and super responsive to any questions we had.

    We really enjoyed our visit. The grandkids loved their bedroom with bunk beds! Perfect space for family time. Balcony with the two swinging wicker chairs, was wonderful when you needed some relaxing time. Less than a block from the pool. Thank you,The Jordan, Smith and Willis families

    We had such a great time at Cute Counts! The house fit all of our needs. We brought our grandchildren who are 8 month old twins, Michelle purchased and sent a second pack-n-play with mattress for the babies. The walk to the pool is a short block away. The walk to the beach is a short stroll, we did meet the trolley van, but decided to walk instead. We spent a lot of time in the house for nap time, we all had our own space, very accommodating!! We would definitely stay again!

    The house was very nice and clean. It had everything we needed and more. It was plenty of space for our family of 12. The people in the neighborhood were family friendly and nice. The location was great. We had a vehicle and everything was a short distance. The beach was a short walk. Michelle the host was very attentive and helpful.
