Welcome to InExcess, a stunning 19th-floor retreat in Tower 2 at Portofino Island Resort in Pensacola Beach. This east-facing condo offers beautiful morning light and sweeping views in both directions — the Sound to your left and the Gulf of Mexico to your right, with Navarre Beach stretching out in the distance.

From sunrise on the balcony to a peaceful start to your day, this is exactly what you come to the Gulf for.

⸻

⸻

What Guests Love

• 84+ five-star reviews from repeat guests
• East-facing balcony with Gulf and Sound views
• Electric grill for outdoor cooking
• Fully equipped kitchen and in-unit washer and dryer
• Stocked better than most: coffee, beach towels, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, spices, and more
• Easy beach access just across the street (standard for all Portofino units)

⸻

Supplies Provided

A starter set of essentials is included: coffee, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and basic cleaning supplies.

Extras like beach towels are also provided — something many rentals do not offer.

⸻

Resort Experience

One of the biggest reasons guests return is the full experience at Portofino Island Resort. Guests enjoy access to multiple outdoor pools, an indoor pool, hot tubs, a fitness center, and beautifully maintained grounds along both the Gulf and the Sound.

On-site dining is available for meals, drinks, and convenience without leaving the property.

Amenity fees are included in your reservation total. This covers access to pools, fitness center, and basic resort facilities.

Optional experiences such as spa services, fitness classes, water activities, and dolphin cruises are available through the resort for an additional cost.

⸻

Good to Know

Must be 25 or older to rent
No pets and no smoking
Maximum occupancy is strictly enforced (6 guests total)
We do not advertise on Craigslist

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance, especially during hurricane season. Refunds are not provided for weather-related events outside of the cancellation policy.

⸻

Seasonal Notes

Late May can be a more lively time on Pensacola Beach due to a popular annual LGBTQ+ weekend.

Early June typically brings a large youth conference to the resort, which can result in higher occupancy and increased activity. Dates vary each year.

⸻

Pro Tip

Midweek stays are typically quieter and more relaxed.

If your schedule allows, October is one of the best times to visit — warm weather, fewer crowds, and lower rates make it a favorite for a peaceful Gulf getaway.
