Portofino Island Resort #2-1107 Stunning Views!

Great location. Easy access to the property. Would recommend!

Our kids and grandkids all joined us in this beautiful condo community for a vacation and to watch our granddaughter dance.

Our stay was great. The views were amazing and the condo was super nice. Wish we would have had a grill on the balcony and a little more places to sit or even a table in the balcony to sit and eat but overall it was wonderful.

This was the first time I stayed at this unit, though I've stayed at the Portofino many times. This was my favorite unit I've stayed in. The view from the very large balcony overlooks the entire resort complex, but you can also see the gulf and the beach very clearly, as well as the Santa Rosa Sound on the other side of the island. There is plenty of room to host 8 people and amply living space to gather. I found the kitchen was well stocked compared to other units I've stayed in. There were also plenty of towels for everyone in all bathrooms. Check-in was incredibly easy, and it was also easy to get a temporary visitor's parking pass for some local friends to come for dinner one night.

We were there for a family reunion. Other family members stayed in different towers. It made it easy to gather. The condo was fully stocked with appliances and comfortable seating indoors and outdoors on the balcony. The views of both gulf and bay were incredible. Easy, friendly check in and check out. Loved our stay!

Checked in. Easy. Noticed glass cracked stove top- took picture of crack 10 min after check in. Was charged $900 for cracked stove. Told them it was like that and I sent pic with entry time. No response. I paid for property protection insurance and said I didn’t break it but use insurance which would completely cover. I was told insurance cancelled since I did not report it. Scam scam scam scam and yes, I have contacted a lawyer, just busy at work to go back there (will need FL lic lawyer.) I love portofino/ go twice a year for years. I usually rent through the portofino itself.This was the first time with this rental co. Never Again. Scam. Fraud. Would not reply to timed pictures showing crack upon entry. But would later respond saying the money I gave THEM for insurance cancelled. If you stay there I suggest you make them do a walk through with you. It was a nice unit, but I only stayed 2 nights and got popped $900 to my Am Ex to help replace their damaged appliance. I hope everyone going there reads this - I have never given a neg review- ever- this one I had to

We have stayed at Portofino many times over the past 15 years. Most experiences are good or very good. This one was mixed. On the plus side, the Portofino is very nice! We had beautiful sunset views over the sound every evening and the beaches are sugary white sand. Pools are well kept with a busy wait staff keeping everyone happy. However, this particular unit was not up to standard. Overall, I would describe it as shabby - certainly not lavish as the title indicates. We had missing base boards and door trim in the master bath and closet that exposed large holes in the drywall. None of the seating in the living or dining area was comfortable to spend any time at all using. The two arm chairs and overstuffed ottoman shown in the pictures were not in the unit. Rather, there were two wobbly metal framed chairs in the main living area. It took two calls before I was able to get the attention of the property manager (Southern Vacation Rentals). I advise you watch closely for check out time - we had to be out by 9am. Renting through a service provider from a property management company is not the rental by owner experience - it just layers on more services fees for which I cannot tell you the service provided to us. Portofino very nice! VRBO did its job. Southern Vacations - lacking. However, after the second call with Southern, they did issue a 10% refund due to the under-construction state of the condo. Safe travels everyone!

Portofino is a great property to stay! The activities are endless! It was great for the adults in our party as well as the kiddos. We had an issue with some cleanliness upon check in & the property manager sent over a cleaning person the next day. They were very expedient about it, but the place really needs a deep clean. The floor needs a good hot water, bleach, & Tide scrub to include getting under the couch & beds. All in all we would stay at the property again. The view is amazing & we had a great time.

The property was not as described. Matineance work was needed

The 3 bedroom unit we chose was great since each of the bedrooms included there own bathroom. The common area and balcony was perfect. Portifino is a great place to stay
