Our Little Waterfront Gem in Goodland

Our Little Waterfront Gem in Goodland

We’ve been quietly offering our own slice of Old Florida through Airbnb for a while now, and every time someone stays we get the same happy message: “We never wanted to leave.”

Tucked in the quaint fishing village of Goodland—just five miles from the bustling energy of Marco Island—our 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits right on a canal with direct water access. It’s classic Old Florida charm: open, airy, and perfectly set up for families, beach lovers, or anyone traveling with their four-legged friends.

Best of all, it’s only a short walk to four great local restaurants, so you can enjoy fresh seafood dinners or a casual lunch without ever getting in the car.

Guests wake up to the gentle lap of water, spend their days exploring nearby beaches, hopping on a boat, or simply relaxing on the dock. The house is comfortable, pet-friendly, and full of those little touches that make it feel like a real home away from home instead of just another rental.

We love hearing how much people enjoy the peaceful waterfront setting and the easy access to everything the area has to offer. It’s become one of those special spots that keeps drawing people back.

If you’re planning a trip to the Marco Island / Goodland area and want a cozy, waterfront stay that feels authentic and welcoming, we’d love to host you.
