Portofino Resort - yet secluded

A great spot to feel isolated with unobstructed views of the gulf and sound, yet all the conveniences of the resort and Pensacola Beach! This place has become our favorite for beach getaways.

We love Portofino!

Second time staying at this specific property at Portofino and it is very well stocked. The view is amazing. The furnishings are a little tired and the beds could use new mattresses, but the price is right! Mary is quick to respond and Jeff takes care of whatever you need fixed right away! We will be staying again soon! It is my favorite place in FL!

Always 5 stars

2nd stay at this property and it provided a great respite. I already knew Mary keeps this beautiful condo stocked with everything you could possibly need. I highly recommend Union Public House in Pensacola. World-class meal of a lifetime. Portofino has excellent restaurants, as well. I'll book again!

Very relaxing resort!

Great resort if you want to stay on property for most of your trip. Bar and restaurant on site, shop with Starbucks and common needed items available. If you do want to take a short ride to town, Flonders is the best seafood around! Plenty of activities to get into as well.

Amazing anniversary stay

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay - the sunrise was so beautiful we found ourselves waking early just so we wouldn't miss it! The location is so convenient and great amenities! This was not our first stay at Portofino, and I hope it won't be our last. Would stay in this unit again.

Nice property. Wonderful views of the Gulf and the Sound. Well equipped kitchen. Only complaint is if you like a firm mattress this is not the place for you. Mattresses in both bedrooms need to be taken away and burned.
