Our condo overlooks the Gulf of Mexico with unobstructed views of gorgeous sunsets. Enjoy the spaciousness of a 3BR with huge floor plan and extra large balcony with amazing vistas of the sunrise looking east, the gulf/ocean looking south, and Santa Rosa Island looking west! Even with one master BR being locked out for owners private use, our condo can still accommodate 6-8 guest with the second master BR having a queen and trundle bed and the guest BR having a queen bed. Condo is also furnished with 2 sofas in the great room. Indulge yourself in paradise! Wake up to the sound of the surf and incredible views of the gulf from bedrooms, living area, and your private balcony! Finish the day with views of the beautiful sunset and watching the dolphins cruise the shoreline. Portofino Resort is referred to as the Crown Jewel of Santa Rosa Island for good reason. It is the largest development on the island, and the last one heading east, with eight miles of undeveloped Gulf Island National Seashore after it. This 28-acre complex is a uniquely modern, Mediterranean design, state-of-the-art vacation heaven, with something for every one of all ages. Approximately 64% of the entire complex is dedicated to ecological habitat areas, with only 36% being used for buildings, roads, pools etc. Our unit faces south and is the closest tower to the beach and the only thing you will see looking out the 60 feet of windows and deck is the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Island. Miles of spectacular breathtaking views of sugar-white sand beaches and seashore…sea, sand, and beautiful sunsets! Each of the five towers in the Portofino Resort are at least 300ft away from each other, and offer their own large pool and hot tub, along with umbrella tables, chairs, and loungers for sunbathing, as well as, Men's & Women's bathrooms next to the pool. The $5,000,000, 40,000-square-foot Lifestyle Center has two outdoor infinity pools with two large hot tubs, and an Olympic-size indoor lap pool, as well as a large private indoor hot tub. It has separate men's and women's areas which each feature sauna and steam rooms, as well as private lockers and shower facilities complete with all toiletries. Upstairs there is a state-of-the-art work-out facility with free weights, Cybex weight machines, and True brand treadmills, elliptical machines, and bicycles. There is also a natural juice and snack bar, featuring Starbucks coffee. There is also a special room with personal trainers available for classes such as Yoga, Pilates, kickboxing, spin classes, and many others. Water aerobics are taught in the indoor pool. There are five, lighted, Rubico Hydro tennis courts on the property. The spa also offers message therapy, facials, and various body treatments. When you get hungry there is the Coastal Grill (a fine dining restaurant) downstairs, as well as an outdoor grill restaurant by the pools, and an indoor and outdoor bar. Live music is often featured by the pools. The pool area is situated on the bay side, so you can walk out on the dock, or along the shore for eight miles of undeveloped, uninhabited beach, trees, rivers and lakes. On both the gulf and the bay side at the complex are one- and two-person kayaks, water bikes, sailboats, surf and boogie boards for rent. On the bay side you can rent jet skis, sailboats, pontoon boat, and other types of personal watercraft. Or you can rent a regular bike and ride the paved walk/bike path for miles. It does not get any better than this! There is a 65-passenger catamaran that can take you to the boardwalk for shopping, or a dolphin, sunset, or Blue Angels cruise. Or, within a short drive from the complex, you can indulge yourself in every kind of activity possible, including Pensacola Naval Museum, which is home to the Blue Angels and boasts one of the largest, indoor, air and sea museums in the world, Indian Temple Mound, a Civil War-era complex called Fort Pickens (which once held Geronimo), the Gulfarium, a zoo, Five Flags Motor Speedway with miniature Indy Cars for rental, the Seville Quarter with various live music venues, cinemas, horseback riding, shopping, endless antique stores and restaurants, fishing (shore, dock, and charters), miniature golf, motor cycle rental, electric funny car rental, jet ski rental, etc. The condominium unit is equipped with everything you need to make this home for your stay.

This was our first vacation in the Florida panhandle. We are so happy we picked Pensacola Beach. We enjoyed the less busy location. We visited Destin and enjoyed a couple of meals, but were happy to get back to our location. The beach view is spectacular, the beach is wonderfully white sand. The VRBO photos and descriptions of the condo accurately reflect what we found. Unfortunately, this location has spoiled our expectations for the future. We will not be able to go back to small, narrow rooms and tiny old kitchens. The porch is very large and well furnished. We highly recommend staying at this condo. The restaurants on Pensacola Beach offer great seafood and lots of outdoor beach and inlet seating. If you enjoy cooking seafood, you must visit Joe Patti's in Pensacola. We had a wonderful vacation! ##### John N. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward N.

There were many dirty dishes in the cabinets. The dishwasher does not clean the dishes. The “second master” is not a true master. Cleaning job was fair. Reported these problems to the owner who was kind and asked what he could do. There was nothing to be done once we were already there. We simply prewashed and hand washed everything. ##### Kelly B.

It was so convenient to have everything I needed right at my fingertips—whether I wanted to unwind at the spa, enjoy the beach, or take a leisurely stroll around the property. There was something for everyone, making my stay feel both luxurious and laid-back.A special mention goes to Jack, the host. He was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout my stay, ensuring that everything went smoothly and that I had everything I needed. His attentiveness made all the difference, and it really enhanced the overall experience. It’s rare to find a host so dedicated to making sure guests feel welcomed and well-cared-for.Overall, my time at Portofino was unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning getaway in Florida. Everything from the condo to the amenities to the excellent communication with Jack exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to return! ##### Jessica B.

The options are endless whether you enjoy a healthy smoothie, a coffee connoisseur, or a fitness enthusiast. The condo itself is met with awe of the view of the ocean, the peaceful tranquility of the condo, and the comfort of a well maintained home. I needed a refuge from losing a child and found some comfort in the beauty this condo afforded. The facility also had fine food choices if did not want to adventure outside the walls of the resort. It is a community of comfort and pleasure. I was able to find some beauty in the world when all I saw was bleakness from the loss that consumed me. The owners kindness and attentiveness to my stay was above the call of duty as an owner. I will forever treasure my week at this condo as allowing me to smile again after tragedy. ##### Brittany L.

He was so accommodating, prompt and helpful when we had general questions. Along with allowing us an early arrival time, the last day my kids were not feeling well, and we asked for a later departure time. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and was genuinely caring and empathetic. The views from this condo are BEYOND GORGEOUS, and we are so grateful we rented it. Having the wrap-around balcony fully facing the Gulf & floor to ceiling windows of a 3BR unit (rented as a 2BR) makes this unit the ultimate find! The variety of quality balcony furniture made for comfortable, relaxing viewings of both sunrises & sunsets, as well as morning coffee & family meal enjoyment. You can also view the Sound from the west side of the balcony, along with the Tower 5 pool, which was perfect when my boys wanted to swim and my husband and I wanted to enjoy the balcony. The kitchen was well-equipped and the living area was spacious. Jack included beach chairs, a rolling cooler, beach towels, umbrella, and some beach toys. Not all hosts offer these extras! Tower 5 is SO close and convenient to the beach. You can follow the path by the pool and cross right over. When coming/going with all of our beach gear, it was also nice to have such a large entryway. The condo had plenty of storage space, blankets/pillows, etc. In the future, we would absolutely rent from Jack and stay at this beautiful Portofino condo again! ##### Jen S.

This was our second stay here and it was just as amazing as the first. Jacks place is beautiful with the most amazing views! If you come here bring your binoculars to sit on the balcony and spot rays swimming through. Make sure you get a pass for Fort Pickens and go there and snorkeling for shells. Take advantage of the spa there as well! They give amazing massages and facials! Can’t wait to come back! ##### Aimee I.
