Perfect home for a large family

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.

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!

Spring break vacation

We stayed here with another family for spring break. The condo was modern, clean & definitely well equipped for all 8 of us. Close to shopping & close walking to the beach if you so desire. This was our first trip to Destin & I cannot say enough about the beautiful beach! We will definitely come back. The pool at Crystal Beach was great too, the kids had a blast! Looking forward to seeing Destin again soon 😊

Grandparents, adult children with grandchildren getaway

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!

Great Stay at the Beach

Property was listed accurately and worked out well for us during our stay. The beach is awesome and within a convenient walk or you can call the shuttle. One thing to note is most of the beach is private and there are only a couple of sections that are public. If you rent an umbrella/$60 per day or $300 for the week, you can have a lot more space. The condo had a great amenities, with toaster, brownie pan, lots of dishes and great water pressure for all seven of us. Small note to bring your own Keurig cups. We very much enjoyed the location, the condo and the communication was top shelf. Would stay here again.

Amazing rental

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was extremely clean and spacious. The bunk room was amazing for our kids. Communication with Danette was seamless. This house has more than enough towels, sheets, blankets etc. There was a great starter supply of coffee, soap, garbage bags, paper towel and travel shampoo, conditioner and lotion. This is much more than we have ever received at any VRBO we have rented. The pool is right down the road and a very easy walk to the beach. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone!

Awesome house!

We stayed here a week and it was a great spot! Easy beach access, trolly was great, pool area was awesome. We had 4 adults, 2 young adults, and 2 teens. Space was great for all of us. Host was very responsive! Neighborhood was nice, Seemed like parking was tough. It clearly states 3 spots per house, and otherwise you have to park in overflow, and NOT on the street. Lots of neighbors brought more than 3 cars and several warnings on cars every morning (not ours- we had space, but just for future vacationers that bring more than 3 cars) Best part of the house was the ice maker!!! Would definitely return!

Spacious, clean, equipped, comfortable, and perfect for family fun

This home was all my family of 10 (5 adults & 5 grandchildren) needed for a wonderful week on the Destin Florida beach. It was an easy walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the nearby pool. There were plenty of pots/pans, bowls, soap, and kitchen supplies. Do bring your own beach towels and small spoons/forks for the kiddos. Our host was friendly and quick to respond to concerns - However, other than arrival and departure times, there weren't any problems. The hot water, shower, bath had great pressure and fully functional. Stores were walking distance away. Parking was more than we needed at 3 spaces. The kids room has 4 bunk style beds (2 doubles and 2 twins). The master bedroom is equipped with large shower and double sinks as well as a walk-in closet. This home does not disappoint. Book it when and if you can and happy gulfing!!!
