About this property

Amazing Gulf Views! - Tower 1 Unit 1803

NEW LISTING WITH NEW OWNER!

We have owned and managed gulf front property in Destin for over 20 years. We have enjoyed sharing our properties with our guests. Our guests have made priceless memories with their families and friends over the years, which they have shared many of those memories with us. Please look at our Destin property for how well our guests enjoyed their stay with us, VRBO #355152. We have recently relocated to the Pensacola area and were ready to invest in property on Pensacola Beach. We chose Portofino Island Resort due to the location, beautiful condos and the full suite of amenities offered.

We purchased this Sky Home in October 2019. The view upon opening the front door is why our condo is called a Sky Home. From the 18th floor, you will see unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico! This is the "first impression" that won us over on our purchase.

Portofino consists of 28 acres located on a pristine stretch of nature preserved land bordering both the Gulf of Mexico and the tranquil waters of the Santa Rosa Sound. In addition, enjoy direct access to several miles of federally protected sugar white sand beaches, complete with the renowned emerald green and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. On a daily basis our guests can enjoy the Gulf beach, Santa Rosa sound, and federally protected Gulf Island National Seashore Park ALL within walking distance!

The condo includes an open floor plan featuring spectacular Gulf views, allowing breathtaking views from every room! Beautifully furnished 1,333 square foot Sky Home with a king bed in the master bedroom, queen bed in guest bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living area. TVs and DVD players in each bedroom as well as in living area. The condo has all the luxuries of home. In addition, there are 2 RESERVED PARKING SPACES in the covered garage for our guests. Additional parking outside at the ground level is available.

Last but not least are ALL the amenities offered by Portofino Island Resort. Below is a list of what is offered:
-Each tower has a large outdoor pool with hot tub, umbrella tables, chairs and sunbathing lounges, in addition to restrooms,
-5 Rubico (clay) tennis courts,

Wonderful Escape!

This place was perfection! We had the best time and the views were amazing! We appreciated the chairs and setup on the balcony as we sat there to eat breakfast every morning and to just chill and read. Loved hearing the waves and watching the surf with dolphins at 8am every morning. It had everything we needed and we loved the welcome snacks too! We hope to be back again. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise.

This unit does not disappoint. Everything one could need is provided from the kitchen to the restrooms. The view is perfection. You are oceanfront but can also see the bay.

Relaxation

Beautiful resort. Everything is as described. Phenomenal views from condo. Very comfortable everywhere in residence. Fitness center is clean, welcoming, and has a great view which conpletes it. Quiet and relaxing while we were there. No need to get out first thing in am for pool chairs. Enjoy that cup of coffee in am or glass of wine in pm siiting on balcony. Plenty of good restaurants down the street, but downtown Pensacola fun to visit too. Always love those walks on the beach. Great place!!
