Neighborhoods
Goodland is a tiny, unique Old Florida neighborhood just on the outskirts of Marco Island. While the convenience of Marco is only minutes away, the unique vibe of Goodland feels a world away. Historically a fishing village, Goodland is now an eclectic community notable for its laid back attitude, artistic flair. Enjoy walking distance access to four waterfront restaurants- all with live music each weekend in season (one remains open throughout the year), a fresh local fish house offering seasonal fresh seafood directly from the Gulf, small local park and large full service marina with available boat rental. If polished and predictable is your mood, this may not be your place, but if you love the offbeat, low key vibe of the Florida Keys you might just want to give Goodland a try!

Boating around Goodland
There is a navigable waterway directly off the canal- immediate access to the renowned, protected 10,000 Islands Wildlife Preserve. Be sure to checkout Kice Island, Keewadin, Caxambas Pass and the Cape Romano Dome Homes for stunning, desolate beaches and incredible fishing. Please note florida fishing licences are required and can be purchased at local marinas or bait stores.
Our dock is extremely shallow at low tide so plan your in and out times accordingly. The lift requires a key and can be found in the nook off kitchen entryway. Lift accommodates 6000lb, up to 25 ft.
