This may not be flashy, but all the comforts are there. Lake Santa Fe is truly a renown Mecca for all types of freshwater fish and wildlife. There are two public boat ramps nearby, with a covered boat, slip only steps from your door. Don’t let the seasonal duck weed in the canal scare you away, it’s harmless and floats away. ## Similar properties ![Apartment (0 Bedroom) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/126000000/125360000/125356400/125356383/1dff0d46.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wooded Couple's Retreat w/ Lanai in Interlachen Interlachen - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Microwave 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=125356383&PinnedHotelID=125356383&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98560000/98551000/98550954/ddd5b35b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Keystone Heights Home w/ Boat Ramp!
