This was our second stay at Portofino and we love the resort with the opportunity to go to the bay or the beach or multiple pools. The views are fabulous and the accommodations are superb. We rented directly from Portofino the first time but this condo was nicer and had better rates so we chose to rent privately and we were glad we did. The condo is beautifully decorated yet very homey and inviting. The beds and furniture are comfortable, the rooms are large and it is fully equipped. We had our children and in laws with us and everyone had a refreshing and fun time. We hope to come back soon and we will choose this condo again!

Our family spent the week here while celebrating son's beach wedding. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable experience. Everything in the condo is tastefully decorated and the beds are so incredibly comfortable. My husband and I are still commenting on how well we slept there. Great views and beautiful sunrises from the balcony..Everyone in our family appreciated the comfort and luxury we experienced on our very busy week. Thanks Peggy and Mike for making us feel so welcome and comfortable.

We recently stayed at Peggy and Mike's condo at Portofino in Pensacola Beach. It was one of the best vacation spots we've been too. The condo was exactly as described. It was a perfect size for our group (4 adults, 4 kids). The balcony was outstanding as you see both the sound and the Gulf of Mexico. Portofino is very nice. Each tower has there own pool plus there were two resort pools at the lifestyle center. The location of Portofino is ideal since it is the last resort complex before a stretch of National Seashore.....very quiet but still close to restaurants, shopping, etc. There is also a great walking/running/biking trail that goes on for miles. Everything was perfect and we can't wait to return!

Absolutely the best condo in which I have ever stayed. From the well stocked spice selection to 4 wine openers to the most comfortable beautiful furnishings available, this condo is a dream. The complex is so amazing that we never left.

Beautiful condo just as described

I would highly recommend renting from Peggy and Mike. They were great to work with and their place is beautiful, just as they described. The condo is gorgeous from the moment you walk in the front door. The views from the balcony were also fantastic. We were there for a wedding but spent every day at the Portofino. We spent most of the time at the main pool which is great. Although each tower also has it's own pool. I was very impressed with the employees at the Portofino. They were always in a great mood, very friendly and always helpful.

We experienced a week of pure relaxation with the gorgeous pools, spa and spectacular views of the beach and bay. This unit is exquisitely decorated and it truly felt like home. Mike & Peggy were helpful too in suggesting restaurants, etc. This was the best vacation our family's ever had ~ can't wait to come back.

Our week was truly a week in paradise. The condo was fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed - the beds and pillows were heavenly - and the huge balcony with the grill was the best ! We loved the views and the we had the choice of a great beach and wonderful pools. It couldn't have been nicer.

Truly an amazing place! We searched many properties throughout Portofino and this is clearly one of the best appointed units. The views are phenomenal, the decor exquisite, and the beds very comfortable. When we walked in the unit for the first time our niece exclaimed "I feel like a princess in her palace!" We hope to return again next year.
