We loved staying here. We liked having beach chairs and an umbrella to use at the beach because renting them from the resort adds up quick. The condo was nice and clean and was stocked with all of the kitchen gadgets you'll need. The decor and furniture seemed new and updated which is hard to find these days in a lot of other condos. The host was always quick to respond and was really nice.

We have stayed at Portofino several times and this has been our favorite condo! Bruce and Ellie were responsive and easy to book with. Condo was fully stocked with everything you would need. Great view of the beach, tower location is closest walk to the beach and we had the best trip celebrating our 8 yr olds birthday. They even offer beach towels and beach chairs/umbrella. The kids loved hopping back and forth to the swimming pools, beach and bayside. You don't have to leave the resort! Food was great at the resort restaurants and everyone was so nice. Will be booking with Bruce and Ellie again!

This place was fabulous and we enjoyed our week so much! Met and exceeded our expectations. The only “inconvenience” with the resort was even though it was right across the street, it was a good piece to the beach because of one way in, one way out, even for pedestrians. It wasn’t huge for us, but maybe good to know up front. Take the beach wagon if you’re debating :). There is a shuttle but I think it has to be called or arranged (we didn’t check into this). Also, sometimes difficult to find a 2nd parking place if you need 2 vehicles. I think maybe people not staying there can come and use amenities…we found it much more crowded in the evenings so if you moved your car, you’d come back to no parking. Host was great and responsive.Kitchen had everything we needed. Master bedroom/bath/closets were spacious.The balcony was probably my favorite! Great views of gulf and sound! Even the views from inside were amazing with floor to ceiling windows!

Thanks for the review so glad to hear your family had a great time. I’m sure seeing the Blue Angels practice week before the big show was wonderful. We hope to hear from you again on your next stay at the beach. Portofino resort does have a tram which is a golf cart that will take you back-and-forth to the beach. You just have to call them and they pick you up on the first floor. The wristbands that you get when checking in and have to wear is to let the staff know that you belong there.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce and Ellie

Host profile image
Married in 1985 and we are an airline couple with two grown children.
Ellie was a Flight attendant and I flew for several airlines and ultimately landed a job with American. We are retired now and me having also retired from the Navy in 1993. My Officer and flight training here in Pensacola gave me the addiction to this amazing unique beach and locale.
We were always infatuated with the Portofino Resort as it is a standout facility! on Pensacola Beach. The Blue Angles are a staple attraction for the area and I am always impressed and complimented by there personalized treatment of the beach as they often do a seven plane pass down the beach front on there way back from a show to their operations base at Sherman Field, NAS Pensacola FL.

Why they chose this property

We have a very high standard of neat and clean for our condo. We have decorated and maintained the place like our home and we wish we lived there. We have earned a "Premier Partner" status from VRBO because of our excellent reviews; not to be confused with Portofino Resort's Premier status. We decided to rent it and remain hopeful that the folks that stay there take care of it. We have had outstanding folks so far and we are very appreciative. We do have a motion sensor at the entrance to confirm your arrival and the cleaning staffs entry and departure.

What makes this property unique

We have a direct gulf view and we are on the 17th floor of Tower 1. We have a birds eye view over the beach, water, wildlife, i.e. Pelicans, Dolphins, etc.. We also have a grill on the balcony and a full kitchen for the nights that you don't want to go out. If you don't feel like cooking Portofino has both excellent casual and elegant dining available at the resort. Service to your door and numerous local restaurants and boardwalk just a short trip to the west in Pensacola Beach proper. Motorized and non motorized land and water toys are available at the resort for an extra fee. Six professional lighted clay tennis courts available with tennis lessons from a pro available also, Starbucks too, had to say it! This is a sleeper fantastic place to have a blast!
