My 2 BR unit located on the 12th floor in Tower 3 faces the Beautiful Sound. The open floor plan features 40 feet of panoramic Sound views, allowing breathtaking views from each and every room! Floor to ceiling glass in both of the sound-front bedrooms and the family room, 9 foot ceilings with crown molding, and an expansive (28 feet) private balcony with gas grill. Elegant Tuscany columns, domed entryway, arched ceilings, granite counter tops, imported Italian floor tile throughout, and the master bathroom Roman whirlpool tub only begin to describe Portofino’s distinctive Mediterranean feel.
Beautifully furnished 1,335 square foot unit with a king bed in the master bedroom and queen bed in the guest bedroom. Both bedrooms have private baths and there is a half bath in the common area. There is an L-shaped sofa in the great room, which opens into a queen sleeper. Both bedrooms feature TV’s with DVD players, ceiling fans and direct entry to the balcony. Floor to ceiling light blocking drapes offer a great sleeping environment.
The great room includes an entertainment center with flat screen TV, DVD player and surround sound system for theater quality sound. The dining area features an ornate glass-top table with seating for six. In addition, 2 bar stools offer additional seating facing into the fully equipped kitchen. The condo is equipped with high speed wireless internet and two reserved parking spaces under the building offer you a cool automobile since they are shielded from the hot sun!
Pamper yourself at Aveda Concept Spa, a $5M 40,000 square foot lifestyle center, featuring customized body treatments, facials, full body massages and pedicures, available poolside or in your own resort residence. Part of the Portofino experience is the Lifestyle center that includes state of the art exercise machines and free weights. Every treadmill, elliptical trainer and stairstepper has its own cable equipped TV and DVD player.
Portofino features a gourmet restaurant as well as a poolside grill, an indoor Olympic pool with a soaring wood-beamed ceiling, two outdoor zero-infinity pools and decks overlooking the magnificent Santa Rosa Sound, whirlpool spas, saunas, steam rooms, and a Kids' Camp during summer months. Attendants are available to bring food and drink to you at your request!
The soundside beach features a boat landing and dock. A water taxi is available for a fee to take you to the boardwalk, where there are quaint shops and restaurants.
