20th floor 2nd Tower Views of both the Gulf & the Sound East Facing Highrise


Welcome to the Morning Star. This was named that because it faces due East towards Navarre Beach. This condo we have managed for close to a decade and it has MANY 5 star reviews !! This is a two bedroom 2.5 bath condo located on the 20th floor out of 21 in tower two located in the beach resort of Portofino . We consistently get 5 star reviews . This sleeps 6 MAX including children !! There is a king bed, a queen and a pull out sofa bed.

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 Christian Youth 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.

I highly suggest buying travel insurance at the time of booking to insure your trip against unexpected cancellations and see what it covers when you buy it . We do NOT advertise on Craigslist FYI ! We work for a handful of owners and manage a handful of units you are NOT booking through a big vacation company . This place is stocked well compared to your average vacation rental. I want you to bring your food drinks and luggage not have to lug a extra box full of toilet paper and cleaning supplies or laundry detergent this is provided for along with a lot of other extras that make this place feel like a home not a vacation rental . There are at least 4 beach towels . There is an optional beach chair service but any beach chairs or beach items in the condo you are free to use. Both bath rooms have blowdryers so one less thing to pack.

Amenity fee: What is that ? The amenity fee include the use of the resorts multiple pools , Jacuzzis and exercise equipment none of that goes to the owner of this condo it’s just a required fee to check in it is $80 plus tax to check in and then it is an additional $25 per day . That is included in this quote . I just wanted to make this clear that it is required fee for use of the facilities at Portofino .

There is a strict rule that this is a maximum of six people. I must actually make a reservation with Portofino once you book this through home away/Vrbo .So after you book this I will be asking you for your address and the names in your party so that I can fill in the form I must fill-in so that when you check into this resort it is effortlessly .

The actual layout of this two bedroom 2 1/2 bath unit is pretty much the same as all the ones at at Portofino you have a living room , a fully stocked and equipped kitchen, master bedroom with a king size bed all bedrooms and living room with fabulous views towards Navarre Beach as this condo faces East . The second bedroom with a queen size bed ,both bathrooms have a full tub and shower the master bath also has a separate shower and a jetted Jacuzzi tub there is also a half bath with a toilet for use of guests.

There is an electric grill outside on the roomy large wide patio. There are very few condos that have grills Portofino and a few other complexes on the island have grills most don’t simply because of a liability issue obviously no gas or charcoal but Portofino does equip some but not all of their condominiums with electric grills.

As far as rules you must be 25 years old to book this place . You can not book this underage using your mothers card... you have to be 25 years old to rent and the person booking 25 years or older has to be on premise . There is a strictly a no smoking in the condo there is an ashtray provided for on the outside balcony. These are pretty much rules that all condos have but I have to go over with anybody that books a reservation.

This condo is facing east towards Navarre Beach every condo at Portofino has a slightly different view depending on what tower it is located at and what direction the windows are facing this is facing east so you will not be catching any sunset views but you will be catching the most beautiful sunrise views you’ve ever seen that is why it is named morning s this condo is facing east towards Navarre Beach every condo at Portofino has a slightly different view depending on what tower it is located at and what direction the windows are facing this is facing east so you will not be catching any sunset views but you will be catching the most beautiful sunrise views you’ve ever seen that is why it is named ‘ Morning Star’ . This particular tower that this condo is located at is tower to tower two and is near the lifestyle center the lifestyle center is a very short walk and that is where the main pool ,as well as restaurants and bars as well as a indoor pool and workout facility.

The actual beach is located across the street all five towers of Portofino you do have to cross the street to get to the gulf of Mexico this condo is best checked out if you watch the video which I have uploaded and it’s under pictures because of video says more than pictures could ever say.

The property was amazing. We stayed in the 2nd tower on the 20th floor, facing east. The view can be seen from every room. My only complaint is that I had to leave. I'm having discussions now with my girlfriend to go back this weekend!

This was an amazing relaxing stay! We had all we needed in the condo for the stay and beach with everything well kept and clean. We did have to call maintenance for a minor fix and their contact responded in a timely manner and had it fixed in less than 15mins from our phone call. We highly recommend! And will be booking again!

First off, Mary and her partner, the hosts, are amazing ! She’s very communicative and very sweet . It’s like chatting with an old friend. I asked if they had beach chairs to see if I needed to haul mine from Texas and she said if there weren’t any there that they would go buy some and bring them over. (There were some there along with an umbrella , toys and huge beach towels ) . Her partner even stopped by to make sure we had some.I thought that was awesome !All we had to do was show up. Everything you need in the kitchen is there. They also supplied paper towels , towel paper and trash bags. Very well stocked place. She also let me know that the condo was empty the night before us so we didn’t have to wait until the 4 pm check in because the place was clean so we were able to come in early and enjoy a full first day ! Loved that !She gave me multiple recommendations of places to see, eat and visit . She said I could ask her anything at any time and we so appreciated that. Mary also texted me every day to give an update on the flags . That’s huge because I never did see an actual flag on the beach so I wouldn’t have even known. We had red flags the whole time that we were there but we still went to the beach and had a blast. The condo was comfy cozy and we didn’t even want to go anywhere cause it felt like home .It’s very clean and im extremely particular about that. I’ve run out of space to write but rent from Mary !

Second time staying at this specific property at Portofino and it is very well stocked. The view is amazing. The furnishings are a little tired and the beds could use new mattresses, but the price is right! Mary is quick to respond and Jeff takes care of whatever you need fixed right away! We will be staying again soon! It is my favorite place in FL!

Best Vacation Ever

I cant say enough good things about this condo! We stayed for a week and it really does have the items that make it feel so much like home. No need to bring Trash bags, dish soap, hand soap, tp, laundry soap, beach chairs or toys as this is all provided by the condo. I loved watching the morning sunrises to watching the moon make her appearance nightly over the Gulf! The view from the balcony were amazing even when a storm approached! The communication with Mary was amazing and it made it feel like we were renting from a friend! Would definitely recommend this condo to anyone and I would love to come back to this very location when we come back down to the panhandle in the future, wonderful memories were made this week!!!!

Red, White & Blue Week

The condo was beautifully furnished with many added extras included which was very nice. Kitchen had everything we needed and the grill was so convenient. The only thing I would upgrade is the blender. We went and bought one to meet our needs, no big deal. If you plan on making margarita’s etc… the current one will not work. We went to see the blue angels at the pier on Thursday, but were able to catch part of the show the other days on the beach at Portofino which was really nice. Beds, furnishings were all really comfortable. I would defiantly stay here again.

Still Our Favorite Stay

This was our second vacation at this condo because we loved it so much the first time we stayed. Again, it was absolutely perfect and beautiful. But unlike last time, the weather was not perfect and the beach had double red flags all week. Fortunately, Portofino offers a private beach on the portside with a lot of fun activities! We enjoyed all the resort had to offer this time around and still had a fantastic vacation! Mary is also the best host. She had recommendations for us and was available for any issues we had - which we didn't. The view is amazing from the condo and the resort makes you feel very exclusive.
