Gorgeous condominium overlooking Gulf of Mexico, just steps away from the beach and Santa Rosa Sound. Fabulously decorated with a Caribbean flair, this condominium is furnished for comfortable living and a gentle reminder that you're at the beach. This condo is rated Elite (Tier 1) by the resort -- the highest rating available, which is based on location, amenities, condition and decor. Not all units are rated equally and not all units are maintained equally.
Our condo is in Tower 1, the most centrally located to both bodies of water, as well as the Lifestyle Center, tennis courts and other amenities, which means our location is also one of the closest to the beach. You don't have to go out to the balcony for our ocean views; you can see and hear the ocean from inside the kitchen, great room, and both of the bedrooms.
The colorful living space has a sofa (which converts to queen sleeper) and great comfy chairs for reading while looking out over the Gulf. The dining area seats 9 (6 at the expanded table and 3 along the bar area). Kitchen has all the amenities of a modern home and there's a gas grill on the balcony, which includes additional dining space al fresco.
The condo offers a generous master bedroom with a king size bed, jetted bath, separate shower, and great closet and dresser space so you can make yourself at home while enjoying your vacation. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, chair, an armoire and closet. There's a single rollaway with a memory foam mattress in the guest closet--perfect for sleeping a child. Portofino limits the wristbands for guests to 6 for a 2 bedroom unit, except for children under the age of 5 who do not need wristbands. There's a hallway closet that houses a washer and dryer. There are 3 TVs in the unit.
This Tower 1 unit includes designated garage parking space, exclusive outdoor pool and hot tub for this tower. Head over to the Lifestyle Center on the Sound to enjoy one of the many other pools (indoor and outdoor) and hot tubs. The Lifestyle Center also has a full-service spa, an expansive health club with state of the art equipment, exercise classes, juice and coffee bar, indoor and outdoor restaurants and bars (including poolside service) and a resort store.
This beach sky condo property's location is truly unbeatable and the amenities are plenty. Finally, we have equipped our gourmet kitchen with all the extra supplies that I would want to have, not just the basic rental requirements.
You may find other condos that are lower priced. Please keep in mind that there is a varying level of maintenance, service and amenities provided for each. We take great care to ensure that our condo is well maintained.
We have many guests who have really enjoyed staying in our condo and who have come back to it repeatedly.
Dining options on property and vacation recreation opportunities abound. Resort luxuries await you! Whether you're planning a romantic getaway for two or some time for family fun, we invite you to explore this luxury, coastal lifestyle on the white sandy beaches for your next vacation.
This is a second home for us that we love to use to unwind and get some sand between our toes. We live in the area and can give you lots of tips on what the locals and tourists enjoy.

This property has one of the best views at Portofino and it is recently redecorated so everything is in great shape. The condo is rated by Portofino as Tier 1, Elite (the highest ranking) based on the view, amenities, decor and condition of the condo. Not all condos at Portofino are alike--make sure you know what you are getting. Ask if Elite (best ranking), Superior (second tier) or Deluxe (third tier).
If you're going to spend the money to go to the beach, you want to feel like you're at the beach. This place does just that with all of its designer decor and comforts. Incredible views! Read the reviews!
We just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at your condo this past week. Everything was so nice, especially the view!! We had everything we need in the kitchen which was nice since so many times we have rented in condos and cabins that have only 4 plates, 4 glasses etc. we cooked in several nights so we were really happy to have planet of dishes and cookware.
Thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at this perfect beach condo! Loved being right on the water and having an incredible view of the Gulf of Mexico. It was so nice to sit on the patio and overlook the water and beach while we enjoyed our morning coffee (appreciated all of the comfortable patio furniture). The condo was very clean and had everything we needed including extra beach chairs and toys, plenty of towels, laundry, and a very nice kitchen. The resort also offered everything we needed - a gorgeous beach; several pools and hot tubs; great restaurant/bar; nice work-out room and even golfing excursions to local golf courses. We enjoyed it all and can't wait to return and have another week of fun and relaxation at this perfect beach condo!
When you first walk through the double door entrance you will be amazed at the beautiful views of the gulf. You also have a view of the intercoastal including the beach bridge which is very pretty in the evening. This unit is very clean and includes everything you will need for your stay. This is our second stay in this condo and will definitely be returning. You should too...
This was the most wonderful place to relax for a birthday celebration weekend! Will definitely book this one again! 5 Stars all the way!
We have rented this condo for a month visit several times over the past five years. We’ve returned to the same unit as it has everything we need. The Gulf and Santa Rosa Sound views from the balcony are spectacular; and, walking the beach was a daily event. The Portofino fitness center has new equipment and great views while you exercise. And, if you enjoy fresh seafood, then you will find it a short drive to Joe Patti’s; one of the best fresh sea food locations we have visited.
Friendly people everywhere we went. The condo was quiet, clean, and decorated with relaxation and vacation in mind. It even had some beach boogie boards for my kids.
Loved the resort, this was my 8th trip to portofino. The unit was listed as elite through portofino but was a little disappointed with the finishes. The owner was easy to work with. Fixing the refrigerator and changing the countertop would push the status up fo us.
