Great family getaway!

This condo is beautiful! Well furnished, nicely updated and a bonus of fun games to play. The view is perfect. The only recommendation would be to add cleaning to under the beds. We have a curious toddler haha (the rest of the condo was spotless!). We love portofino and now this condo as well!

Very Nice Condo

We came to Pensacola to enjoy the NAS Airshow. The condo was very clean and the locations was great. We could sit on our balcony and watch the sunrise and the beach. The kitchen could use some attention as there were only 3 forks and very little on the way of cooking items. Since we were Only there for a long weekend it was not a huge factor for us but if we were planning to be there a week it would have.
