NOT a good place - BEWARE!! This could be a good place, but it isn't. Here's what I wish someone told me before I booked this condo. Read on... Between the amount of sand on the balcony, bathroom drawers, kitchen drawers, living room, bedroom, the mold in the master shower, the hair in every sink and towel, the whiskers in the front half bath, the food on the floor of the kitchen and rug, the filthy fridge and freezer, toothpaste on the faucets of every sink, food at the base of the door going to the balcony, food in the phone cradle, balcony door that doesn't open in the second bedroom, hair and large twisted up fibers in the dryer, missing drape handles in the master bedroom, dental floss (two pieces) and a piece of a tampon wrapper in the master toilet, extremely used kitchen sink with an unstable faucet, second bathroom towel rod holder that is close to falling off and the shower "button" that jets out and hits your shin when you turn the shower off! We tried to move at 1:33 am when we got there but the entire property was booked so no other condo was available and because of our booking date, we could not cancel and get a refund. Called the host, she said they had a new cleaning lady... What an excuse... We all pay for the cleaning service, but it isn't done. The two pieces of used dental floss and the tampon wrapper on the floor were my particular favorite. So if you like to stay in filthy places as described above, this is your place.

This was our second time staying at Portofino. It is a gorgeous location. Everything was as described. This is the perfect location for a family vacation. We look forward to booking again next year.

We had a fantastic time! Unit was perfect! Would stay again.

My husband and 2 boys took a week vacation at Portofino. This was our first time at this resort and the ease of checking in was wonderful. From the parking, quickness of the elevators and kindness of the staff, we very pleased. The private pool at the tower was a great bonus and a quiet getaway from the main pool. We enjoyed all the amenities that the extreme package provided. The condo was well stocked and very comfortable. We were welcomed by both owners of other condos as well as guests at other condos. We will be back for sure!

This unit is nicely furnished and right next door to the lifestyle center! It’s clean and plenty of room for a family of 4. We will definitely book again!

Everything was as advertised. Had a great view. Very relaxing, no crowds at this time of the year. Would recommend replacing the frying pans, pretty worn out.

Great facility, easy access, and loved the unit.

Nice apartment with great view and location

Was a nice place to stay. Could use a little TLC

This was a fabulous condo with views of both the Gulf and the sound (from the same vantage point!). Tower 1 (where this condo is located) of this resort is right across the beach. The kitchen was well stocked . The master bed was comfy! The master shower and jacuzzi tub were divine!! Very, very clean. Kathy provided excellent communication prior to visit. Will definitely come back!!

We absolutely loved our stay!! Kathy was so easy to work with when we wanted to extend our stay! We loved the view and the unit.

Great condo by pool

The property was beautiful, clean, well appointed, and has stunning views of the gulf, the bay, and downtown Pensacola Beach. I spent a great deal of time on the balcony each morning with coffee, and each evening with wine. The only issue I had was a complete lack of communication on how to check in. When I booked, I was assured I would be contacted by the property manager with instructions. I was not. I tried the app several times, but I had no luck connecting with anyone. Once I pulled into the complex, I immediately spotted the signs for the office, so I figured I was in the right place. The woman at the desk asked who I booked through, and confirmed their guests frequently had communication issues when booking through VRBO. I rolled with the punches, so no big deal, but others may find the lack of instructions more stressful.

The condo was great--very clean, had everything we needed, and was comfortable. The views are the best in Portofino, in my opinion. The sunsets from the balcony are just amazing. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!

the owner was so nice to deal with & the condo was Awesome, gorgeous views & all the amenities that Portofino had were just great! We will come back again!

Owner was super helpful and accommodating! Great place with a fabulous few.

The only 2 bad things: 1. The picture of unit on listing showed a different view of the actual view we had. Very misleading. 2. We had no TV signal in the living room and no one was available all week to help us. Skyworks employee were awful and no help at all.

2 bdrm condo perfect, deck enjoyable, all the Portofino people friendly and helpful.

Everything about this unit does exceed our expectation from cleanliness, location and amenities. It's our first time to be at Pensacola as we normally go to Destin. And last but not the least, Kathy is super responsive. We had the problem with smoke detector battery at night and Kathy offered us to get replacement that night but we asked to be replaced in the morning anyway. Thanks so much Kathy :-)

The condo is beautiful and has beautiful views. However, the A/C vents had mold (which kicked up my allergies), towels smelled moldy and were dingy, several lights inside and out didn't work because assuming because bulbs were blown. TV remotes had dead batteries. Also, on checkout learned that Portofino charged an additional $112 for "HOA fees", "Check-in fee", etc. I don't own a home there-- why am I paying HOA fees? This is not the owner's fault, of course but thought I would mention so others are not surprised.

Great views. Stayed during off season and had most of the resort property to ourselves.

We come here every year. Love the view.

We enjoyed our stay

We had a great time staying at the Portofino! The condo had great views of the beach as well as the sound side. Parking was convenient as was the building’s location to the beach and pools. There were plenty of blankets, towels, beach chairs and dish ware. We would definitely stay there again.

good experience from booking to stay. view was great and unit was in good shape.

This property was wonderful! We loved the accommodations… there were even beach chairs that were supplied. 10/10 would recommend!

The property was just as advertised. The location was convenient next to the restaurants. We had an issue with the AC unit leaking water. I messaged the host and she was very quick to reply and even came out with the AC repair guy to make sure the problem was resolved quickly. The hair dryers in the bathroom are standard hotel type hair dryers. If you have thick hair, I suggest bringing your own as they are not very strong. Overall I would suggest this property and would stay here again.

Kathy was very responsive and accommodating. Great views of the bay and the gulf.

The condo was very clean, well stocked, and in close proximity to the community pool. It was a 5-10 minute walk to the beach but our 3 year olds made it just fine. Kathy was fantastic and very responsive before and during our stay!

Excellent view and location. Open quick connection to owner, Kathy was great! Room had everything we needed. Non-primary Bathrooms (showers) could use a little TLC and deep cleaning. Previous guest’s soaps were left in the shower and bathroom garbage was not changed in the 1/2 bath. Otherwise nice property, beautiful wrap around porch.

The condo was clean and had great views of the gulf and the sound.
