We have been staying at the Portofino for years and this is the most welcoming and well kept unit yet. No reason to stay elsewhere if the two bedroom configuration fits the need. All the small touches and perfect amount of communication made the visit very pleasant. Thanks Mary!

We're locals and booked for the Homecoming Blue Angels air show. We had a great view of the show from our balcony and booked a resort Blue Angels cruise to watch the show center point. This condo unit is the closest of all the towers to the resort's amenities: restaurants, bar, pools, and water sport rentals. Immaculately clean with everything you need. We highly recommend!!

Second year in a row in this beautiful condo! Literally lacks nothing. Location, view, cleanliness, stocked well, nice decor, comfy beds, etc etc!

Portofino Condo

The property is one of our favorites. We've been here about 10 times in the last 15 years. I wish some of the condos would update appliances, the outdoor grill and some of the outlets to include USB or USBc plugs. The oven especially because it takes so long to cook on the stovetop & the oven. The condo itself was very clean and very nice but just would like some modern updates.

We have stayed in this unit a few times as well as other managed my Mary. The extras provided make her rentals better than any other. Detergent, plastic bags, slat and pepper, beach towels and chairs,etc. Those things are small but make a difference. Property is always clean and comfortable; we were even allowed in earlier than expected. Top notch! We will be back. .

Amazing property

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 young boys, 6 and 9. We all loved this unit so much! The view 😍 when you first walk into the door. We spent much of our down time out on the balcony watching the waves and playing games. Kitchen was well stocked, as was everything else. The beach extras were a perk, especially the beach toys for the kids! Having a pool at the base of the tower was quite nice, too, after a long hot afternoon on the beach. Everything in the unit felt cozy and very clean. This was our first time in Pensacola and def not our last. Highly recommend the boat shuttle from Portofino to the boardwalk! Great way to get out on the water and not have to park at the boardwalk. Enjoyed the best food at the Grand Marlin, Sidelines, and NOLA cafe!! Thanks again to Mary for being a great host!!!

Our first time at the Portofino and it was just what we were looking for. Host was super easy to communicate with. Condo extras were nice. I could have been informed of the 3000+ kids arriving during our stay (not fun) but it wouldn’t have changed our booking as our dates were fixed. We worked around it.
