Does this really mean very? I thought it meant good so that很好 means very good.

Hi, note that 好 has four separate entries in our dictionary:
1. 好 hǎo [adj] good; kind, friendly; healthy
2. 好 hǎo [adj] suitable; well; easy; done; OK, right
3. 好 hǎo [adv] quite, very
4. 好 hào [v]to like, to love, be fond of, be apt to

The meaning you are looking for is the first one.
