I32 years since I had been to Goodland, and I still love it! The area is even nicer now. Houses have been upgraded, and there is newer construction across the canal. Fishing is excellent, availability of rental boats is also excellent. We are former VRBO owners for years and I can say that the owners of this place have everything very well thought out. The layout is both intelligent and practical, with perfect amenities. There are good quality Yaks, Paddelboards for renters use, and a space to tie up your own boat or a rental. We left the Yaks and Boards alone as we had just come from Cedar Key where we Kayaked for many a mile, so we preferred boating. We had the boat delivered right to the house for a nice price. Gas grill! Although it was a smaller one, I could get it to 550 for perfect high heat searing and cooking. Fish cleaning station! Although I caught nothing within slot on this trip, both over and under.....grrrrr, it is there and in a perfect spot. Saw a Tarpon hunting some Pinfish in the canal one evening. The little pool is salt water, and absolutely perfect for a dip after daily activities.Goodland closes down after Aug 10 or so, but if you are like us, do not like big crowds or touristy stuff, it is perfect. The Crabby Lady is still open though. I was fine, but if you arent an experienced boater, you must be very cognizant of channels, markers, tides, and operation in this area. Pay close attention to your Lowrance. Jealous that I don't own this place! Perfect!
