Sweet escape on quiet Goodland

This was our first time staying on Goodland. This home was super clean, well managed and had everything we could need. Beds were super comfortable. The tiny screened in porch was nice to be outside without bugs! We rented kayaks and took them out each morning to go check out the surrounding islands. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location for a great stay

This home was incredible. Even if it was for just my husband and I with our little dog. It had plenty of space. A great kitchen and fully fenced backyard. We live in Key West and did a lot of traveling prior to this stay as we worked our way back down the gulf coast. It was so nice to have such a great home after many hotel rooms. Great quiet location (off season) but close to Marco Island for dining. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend
