I relocated to Pensacola Beach in 1993. My husband and I traveled many places in the world but we fell in love with Pensacola Beach. We do get spoiled here by the beach's spectacular scenery - not many beaches in the world could stand a comparison to our pristine land with beautiful sugar-white dunes and emerald waters.
Roxolana purchased this condo in 2005
At Portofino you really feel like you are on a remote island far away from a stressful modern life yet at the same time not deprived from technology or social life in case you miss it... And so many things to do right here, without leaving the resort.
The elegance and serenity of living is nestled right here on a barrier island of Santa Rosa, between the sugar-white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and Intra-coastal Waterway. You will not want to leave!
Even Europeans find the place spectacular!
With an unobstructed water view in every room you feel like on a cruise ship! At night you still see the far away city lights and the beautifully lighted Lifestyle Center Area.
Family or single - you will find here home away from home and I believe that you will have an amazing vacation at Portofino that will make you wanting to come back again and again.
Roxolana,
We had a very nice time. Portifino is a lovely development. It was really nice to have the bay behind us to use since we had "red flag" days during the time we were there. Your condo lacked nothing we needed. I know you worked very hard to clean before we arrived because I found everything spotless! We will definitely think of returning to your unit again.
So many times I think: why can't my mother-in-law own a condo in Florida? Well I don't have that, but I do have Roxolana! I felt perfectly at home and I enjoyed lovely views of both the Gulf side and the sound side. Even in the guest bedroom you can lay in the bed and see the waves rolling in the Gulf! My kid had that view! Professionally maintained condo, impeccably clean condo, highly trained staff on site yet very casual and easy. The very laid-back family atmosphere that I am now coming to expect from the gulf shore area. Wonderful music by the pool on the Saturday we were there and it ended at 9 p.m. which was perfect for my kid. The pools were heated and 70° made it just fine for being outside and we required sunblock. At 70 degrees we were doing all the activities and the water felt great. The seashells on this beach are very large and large chunks of sand dollars are washing up. The ocean was so blue and so clear that you can see the entire ocean floor and I could even bring my five-year-old out on a boogie board and a surfboard. And the sound is so warm and sandy and the most adorable hermit crabs are there for the kids and there's a point you can walk or kayak to and it has an estuary that we were able to paddle up into with a stand up paddle board and kayak. The people down there are so friendly and my child was making friends left and right in the pool. Now we have to name all of our stuffed animals after our friends from the pool. And how easy was it to rent the kayak right downstairs and catch the dolphin boat ride onsite which really was a blue angels cruise and as a bonus we saw dolphins. We combo'ed a trip to Walmart with buying food on site and had a great time. The condo had so much space and so many towels and sheets and anything you could possibly need. Literally you could have three couples there because there's a half bath in the main room. And for us with just ourselves and one kid it was amazing because we could put our kid to bed in the guest room and still watch TV in the living room and get food in the kitchen. This is so much better than having a joining hotel rooms. And yet you are getting everything you might get at a Resort Hotel. Laundry in room! I don't even understand how hotels stay in business! I checked in at the front desk it was just like checking into a hotel but I got so much more then I could ever get in a hotel! Thank you, Roxolana!
Our stay exceeded our expectations! The condo was everything it was advertised to be. The views were spectacular, the space was more than amply, furnished comfortably and had everything you could possibly need.
Portofino Resort is exceptional from the facilities, amenities, grounds, beach and staff. We simply can’t say enough about the staff. There were always smiles, warm greetings and offers of help.Our sincerest thanks to everyone for their kindness. Special thanks to our hostess and owner Roxolana for sharing this outstanding opportunity to stay in your wonderful condo. Our only regret is that it isn’t available for our visit next year!!
Loved the spa, pool, gym, and fitness classes. Staff great! Restaurants on site were excellent & delivered to room. Walked the gorgeous Gulf beaches every day. Loved the friendly community. Thank you Roxalana for fantastic accommodations and sharing your home.
The weather played a big part in our stay...it was unseasonably cool...which had us in the condo more than usual...the furniture in the condo was very uncomfortable ! We just couldn’t relax in the chairs or the couch...But the staff at the resort were very friendly and accommodating.
We had a great time. The people at Portofoino were really nice the whole area of the Condo was very clean. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. I plan on coming back in the future.
We had a wonderful and relaxing time. It was a great deal too!
