My husband and I stayed here for a week and had the most relaxing and peaceful time in the Morning Star Beach Retreat at Portofino resort! It had the most amazing, breathtaking views of the sound, dunes and gulf. Watching the sunrise from the balcony was my favorite! Mary, our host was an absolute sweetheart! She was attentive to our every need. She was also informative about everything we were interested in doing in the area like what restaurants to eat at, places to go and things to do in the area. She would always respond to my messages in a timely manner. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was! The condo was clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was not too firm or not too soft and very comfortable to me. I had no problems falling asleep each night. We felt right at home and loved our stay We hope to return very soon! Thanks again Mary for everything!

4th time at this property so obviously we like it. My only complaint is at checkin I was required to provide every piece of information that I had provided online the previous day. Is there a reason for the redundancy?
Se hospedó 4 noches en mayo de 2026
Respuesta de VrboOwner, el 3 jun. 2026
Thank you for staying with us again, John. We truly appreciate your continued visits. The check-in information you were asked to provide is part of Portofino’s resort registration and security process and is required for all guests. We understand it can feel repetitive, especially for returning visitors, but those requirements are established by the resort rather than our management team. We’re glad you continue to enjoy the property and look forward to welcoming you back for your fifth stay.

This was an amazing property and unit! Mary was an amazing host that was very responsive. The unit had everything we needed and the hospitality at the property was unmatched. Tremendous value for the amenities that we received. I highly recommend splurging for an activity pass as we were able to do so much with it. Every pool was heated which is so important for spring break weather

Acerca del anfitrión
Anfitrión: Mary Bedard
I am the reservationist for this property I also happen to clean this property and I stock this property that is why it has many positive five star reviews . I work for a handful of owners and this is not your typical rental property . I try to make it a vacation home away from home where you feel invited and made to feel special 😊
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
This particular unit is located on the resort property of Portofino in tower two it is very close to the lifestyle center and it is a very high up there it’s on the 20th floor out of 21 it is facing east towards Navarre Beach . This particular condo in this particular tower has the most breathtaking sunrises you’ll ever see. If you look at the reviews which I have worked very hard to get you will see why people come back to this unit over and over again.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
This is a owner managed condo I work directly for the owner of this particular condo the actual resort of Portofino also rents condos but you will see if you compare the bottom line price that this ends up in general being more price competitive. I only have a three night minimum except for certain holidays such as blue angels week which is always the busiest week of the year and second to that would be the second busiest time also in July - Independece day .Weekdays are priced less than a weekend with Monday, Tuesday ,and Wednesday being less so if your dates are flexible and you just want to quick getaway those are the least expensive days to book go up Thursday ,Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weekly prices are also a better deal price wise per night than just a 3 night weekend price. The facilities at Portofino are second to none on the gulf coast of Florida. There is a pool and a Jacuzzi located at the bottom of this tower as well within a short walk the lifestyle center which has an indoor pool,a incredible workout facility restaurants and bar. If you want to check out what is going on at this resort go to Portofino and the resort will post Current events ,menus ,activities optional dolphin cruises etc. Thereis a trolley that is free that runs from one end of the beach to the other and that runs from memorial day the end of May till the beginning of Labor Day. Feel free to email me about what is going on as I live here I grew up here and I can tell you what restaurants are good ,what the locals like, and must see places to stop and explore at in Pensacola.
