Stay straight off of exit ramp. Stay left. Turn left at the water and follow curve around to the bridge. Cross the bay. Be cautious of the speed trap (35 mph zone) coming off the bridge into Gulf Breeze. Stay right through Gulf Breeze and turn right at the big fish sign pointing toward Pensacola Beach.

Arrival Procedures

Register with Front Desk
The Front Desk is in the main building on the left once you pull into the resort. Proceed up the stairs to check in as a guest of the Renton's. Our unit is in Tower III, number 502.

Parking
Proceed through the gate and receive a parking pass for your stay. One car may be parked in the Tower III garage in spot number 225. There is a door right around the corner that will give you access to the elevators. If you walk past the elevators and take two short flights of stairs up which will bring you right to our door on the fifth floor. Additional vehicles may use the outdoor parking beneath pagodas near tennis courts.

Getting to the Unit
On level one, there is an unloading zone with luggage carts. Unpack and head to the elevators. Unit 502 is located on the terrace level, listed as "TR" in the elevator. Just think of "TR" standing for "The Rentons"! Please return luggage carts to the first floor. Code to door is 6356. Put in four digit code and turn lever to the left to open door.

Once Inside
Adjust the A/C to the temperature of your choice. Put cushions on chairs and chaise lounges (cushions are on bunks.) There are lights on the terrace. The switch is behind the drapes on wall in the den and master to control them.

Food
Please feel free to use condiments, spices etc. in refrigerator, pantry and cabinets.  Just leave a note if you finish using a bottle of something so I can replace it when I return for next visit. You should have plenty of paper towels and toilet paper above the washing machine and dryer. Please feel free to use soft drinks and beer so that they don't expire. Depending on how much water you drink it is always a good idea to bring a case. There is a B-B-Q grill and ice maker on terrace. Always leave main water on terrace turned on. That supplies the ice maker with water.

Feel free to water any of my plants that look like they need watering:)

Facilities

Portofino is a cashless resort. Charges may be made via credit/debit card or charged to your Portofino guest account. Please see turquoise book in the unit for information on activities onsite.

Restaurants

Our restaurant suggestions are in the turquoise binder in the unit. We have several menus in there. Peg Leg Pete's is a great option on the island, with a live band and sandy playground for kids. We also adore The Grand Marlin, right by the toll booths on your way off the island. Food is fantastic and there is a fun atmosphere. There is usually a bit of a wait but it is well worth it. Off the island, we recommend Jackson's on S. Palafox in downtown Pensacola for finer dining. We also like the Fish House, which is in downtown Pensacola on the water. Delicious!
