Angler's Dream

Brought our kayaks and launched from the most tranquil boat ramp. We pulled right up to the water. It was the perfect private escape. I watched dolphins from the chair in the picture during sunrise and sunset with a coffee or drink in hand. We caught redfish, snapper, snook, jack, catfish, trout and a shark! Stingrays raced our kayaks. We walked to a local restaurant and the food was great. The house was clean and beautiful. The host had great communication. We will definitely go back!

A Great Week

We had a lovely time in the White Cottage. It was very clean and pleasant. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets from the property as well as the watching the dolphins while sitting in the Adirondack chairs in the yard. Amanda was a great host and we hope to be back!

Lost in time

We stayed in the White Cottage which has had a recent renovation by the owner. The Cottage is perfect for 2 people and has spectacular views of the sunrise each morning right from the front porch or patio but the best place to watch is from the dock over the water. Goodland is a small village lost in time, where everyone gives you a nod or wave and the fish jump all day. Amanda is a great host... we are going back for a repeat in Jan 2023!

Brand new unit with gulf access!

Great communication with the owner through the booking/check in process. Access to the dock with power/water was very helpful. We were traveling in our 24' center console and did not have a vehicle so it was imperative for dockage. This property delivered. The unit was brand new and clean. Modern design with a great AC to beat the summer months is south FL. There were a few other rentals on site and all looked taken care of and inviting. Looking forward to booking our next trip!

Private, quiet and immaculate at the edge of the Everglades

So clean and new, it felt like we were the first guests to stay in this modern, single-family one-bedroom home overlooking Goodland Bay lined with mangroves. The home has everything a couple would need: a separate bedroom with closet, bathroom with shower, clean and stocked kitchen, dinette, couch overlooking the patio/water and two TVs. Just a couple blocks of a quaint and quiet walk to several restaurants/bars in town. The owner, a very friendly local, recommended a restaurant that was delicious with great service. We only stayed two nights, so we didn’t get much chance to do any eco tourism, but we immediately booked a second trip upon returning, even during the summer when the places in Goodland close for the slow season. We loved the place so much, we figured if we ever wanted to go out, we can always take the short drive to Marco Island. Otherwise, we’ll stock up for the weekend at the Publix nearby and never leave. Which would also be great. The best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in by far.
