Great communication prior, during and after our stay checkin and checkout was seamless.The accommodations were beautiful, we'll equipped and clean. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Never Staying Anywhere Else!

We've been to Pensacola Beach a number of times but we just discovered Portofino by accident this year through vrbo. What a hidden gem!!! The multiple pool options (with food/drinks/music), fitness facility, easy access to the beach, and super clean and cozy condo had all four of us convinced that there's nowhere better to stay in Pensacola than Portofino. We'll definitely be back and have recommended it to many of our friends/family!!!

Portofino

We have stayed at this property several times before and we had others staying in other units this time, however, we have never been asked to check out at 9AM nor were our other friends who were there this time. That is a bit unreasonable and we will not stay in this unit in the future and will tell anyone who asks to make sure they are aware of the early checkout time as there are many other units to choose from who have later check outs. Thanks.

Beautiful condo

Condo was amazing. The lady below our condo in 1103 called every time we laughed or made a noise. I hope she does not live there. If so, we will never stay again. We will definitely ask before booking next time. The dryer does need to be serviced. It took 3 or 4 rounds to get towels dry. Other than that was very pleased and the condo was very clean. I would recommend if the the lady below is not a resident. :-)

Really liked Portofino

Portofino is a gated condo complex that is a little bit of a drive away from the shops and restaurants of Pensacola Beach proper—-there is a free trolley during season. I love how it has access to the Sound as well as the Gulf. This condo was very nice and comfortable. I love that it had ceiling fans in all of the rooms. There were not a lot of people there when we were there so rarely did you have to wait on an elevator. We used the pool at the condo but the community pool was lovely and well appointed with chairs and umbrellas, not to mention a bar, a Starbucks, and a restaurant right there so you could easily spend the day without a care. I brought my own paddle board and that would be my only complaint— that there was only one little path to the Sound without having to go through the Activities building and so getting my paddle board down there was a little difficult. My only other complaint would be the 9am check out time. They offer a late checkout at 12 for something like $60 more, but we left at 9. All in all, I would stay there again. I did report it but will mention again here to make sure it gets taken care of— we could not control the master bedroom tv with the remote. It needs attention. Everything else worked well. Portofino is great!

Overall a great place to stay. Everything was clean. A 5 -10 minute haul across the street to the beach. Employees were friendly. Pools were nice. All the resort fees were included in the vrbo price. The resort took an extra 100 deposit upon check-in but its refunded if not used. There are restaurants and activities on site that you can charge to the room so ithat quickly adds up. There is a free beach trolley that runs in the evening during their busy season that you can take back and forth to restaurants. Hope to come back again soon!

Great Property

This was an excellent property that had plenty of room for six people. The extra half bath was very convenient. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The view was wonderful as you had a view of the gulf and the bay. The only downside was this unit did not have access to a grill.
