About this property

16𝒕𝒉 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝑳𝒖𝒙𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝒢𝓊𝓁𝒻 𝒱𝒾ℯ𝓌 5 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓 2br

Welcome to 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 ! This is a gulf view condo rental unit 1606 located in tower 2 at Portofino resort on Pensacola Beach . This has fabulous consistent 5 star reviews and in this biz in a sea of condos that says alot ! Views of both the sunrise and the sunset from this gulf front condo can be seen. You do have to walk across the street to get to the gulf but that is the same for all Portofino condominiums. Some condos at Portofino have an electric grill some do not. This does not just wanted to make sure you know that up front.


The video link for this condo is below just copy and paste for a tour to see if this condo is a good fit for you and your guests/ family !

I think the video is better than looking at lots of pictures !

Please check the event page at the Portofino Resort at Portofino Island . com for events that may be scheduled during your stay BEFORE you book !! THIS YEAR 2025 the Youth Christian conference is June 7-13th if you don't like crowds this is not the time to book as the whole complex will be full.

Ok to get the business out of the way...YOU MUST BE 25 TO RENT AND STAYING ON PREMISE ! Six max including children. We do not advertise on Craigslist and lastly I highly suggest you buy travel insurance at the time you make a reservation in case you have to cancel and it's within the three weeks where it becomes nonrefundable of arrival or for calamity/hurricane etc....we personally do not sell insurance. You can buy it from VRBO or many other companies as a optional add on at the time of booking.

All of the units my partner and I manage have consistent five star reviews which says alot in the vacation rental business. We load up the units right with lots of extras like coffee ,laundry detergent ,cleaning materials, beach towels,etc little things that most vacation rentals simply don’t leave . We want you to bring yourself , your luggage and not worry about the garbage bags ! This unit is directly facing the gulf of Mexico gorgeous balcony view awaits you . This unit sleeps up to 6 people MAX two bedrooms ,one king bed in the master, one queen bed in the second bedroom and a double sleeper pull out sofa in the living room. 2 1/2 bath fully equipped equipped and stocked .You don’t need to bring much more than your luggage and yourself to feel like you are at home.

Portofino charges $80 to check in and $25 each additional day for their amenity fees . The amenity fee simply goes to Portofino, not to the owner and that covers your use of the resort facility pools ,Jacuzzis etc.,lifestyle center, some things are optional and extra you will have to ask the front desk of Portofino what those are but this covers the use of the indoor Olympic size pool ,outdoor pools, Jacuzzi ,fitness room. That is included in the quote there are no extra fees besides the quote given.

.We have a great reputation lots of repeat renters at all the condos we manage and we stock our condos with loads of extras ! Our places make you feel like home .

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bedard

Host profile image
I am not the owner of this property I manage it with my business partner Jeff and myself and we have a Baker’s dozen of different rentals located on Pensacola Beach. We have been doing this since 2013 and we try to make these feel like a home not just a rental . We make sure these are better than your expectations and how we stock them up the way we would like them we have the same people cleaning for us who we pay well and who give a damn and that has garnished us solid five star reviews on all the rentals we handle .

Why they chose this property

This is located on the 16th floor in tower two at the prestigious Portofino Island resort with a fabulous gulf front view.

What makes this property unique

Portofino is situated on 28 beautiful acres in Pensacola Beach between the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the gentle shores of Santa Rosa Sound. It is also adjacent to the pristine Gulf Islands National Seashore. The land itself is called Santa Rosa Island; it is the world’s largest barrier island.
Portofino’s beautiful waterfront location, stunning accommodations, world-class resort amenities and customized service standards – make it a natural indulgence. No other resort is located on the Gulf of Mexico, the Santa Rosa Sound and the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
