Welcome to Stayawhile — Portofino Tower 2, Unit 1606

Step into paradise at Stayawhile, a luxury 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo in Tower 2 of the world-class Portofino Island Resort on Pensacola Beach. Perched on the 16th floor, this Gulf-view retreat offers panoramic sunrise and sunset views, thoughtful extras, and full access to one of the Gulf Coast’s most celebrated resorts.



Inside the Condo
• Bedrooms: 1 King (primary), 1 Queen (second), 1 Sleeper Sofa (double)
• Bathrooms: 2 full baths + half bath
• Kitchen: Fully stocked with cookware, utensils, and essentials for meals in

• Balcony: Spacious private balcony with unobstructed Gulf views — your front-row seat for both sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails
• Note: This condo does not include an electric grill

You’ll truly just need to bring your luggage and yourself.



What the Amenity Fee Covers

• Heated outdoor pools and whirlpools at each tower
• A dramatic indoor Olympic-size lap pool
• Jacuzzis, saunas, and steam rooms for relaxation

• Tennis courts and outdoor recreational areas
• Adventure Cove Water Park on the sound side — inflatables, slides, and fun for kids and families

Dining & On-Site Options

• Cobalt Bar — poolside cocktails and light bites
• Pizza Portofino — oven-baked pizzas and flatbreads
• The Market — boutique and convenience store with groceries, snacks, ice cream, souvenirs, and essentials

Spa & Wellness

Pamper yourself at Spa Portofino, offering massages, facials, body treatments, and mani/pedis. Or recharge in the whirlpools, saunas, and steam rooms, all included with your amenity fee.



Adventure & Activities
• On the Gulf side: paddleboarding, surfing, kayaking, or lounging in beach chairs
• On the Sound side: Adventure Cove Water Park with inflatables, slides, and family fun
• Rentals available for bikes, e-bikes, and scoot coupes to explore the island
• Tennis center and outdoor sports courts
• Seasonal sunset cruises, dolphin tours, and catamaran rides right from the resort



A Day in Stayawhile

Wake up to the glow of the sunrise over the Gulf. Grab a coffee downstairs and plan your day: beach, pool, or spa? Paddle out on the water, play tennis, or treat yourself to a massage. Lunch at Al Fresco, then take the kids to Adventure Cove or cool off in your tower’s private pool. End the day with cocktails at Cobalt Bar, a sunset balcony view, and the sound of waves as your lullaby.
