    Magnolia Pointe is a beautiful LAKEFRONT cottage on Lake Santa Fe in Melrose, FL. Lake Santa Fe is a 5,850 acre lake in central Florida that boasts some of the most beautiful lake shoreline Florida has to offer. The lake is a fisherman’s paradise but also the outdoor enthusiast’s dream! Our home is west facing so you will enjoy night after night of picture perfect sunsets framed by Magnolia trees as you look out to the Bald Cypress tree lined waters. You can enjoy the sunsets from the screened in porch as well as enjoy a cocktail while sitting on the boat dock as the sun sets.

    Lake Santa Fe is home to an abundant array of wildlife. A fisherman’s paradise with Largmouth Bass, Striped Bass, and Sunshine Bass just off the dock. Birds are also plentiful including Cormorants, Loons and ducks, Anhinga, Owls, Hawks, Osprey and even Bald Eagles. Even an occasional otter has been spotted along the shorelines of Lake Santa Fe.

    Magnolia Point is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath Lakefront “bay-style” cottage with windows to frame your view to the lake. It sleeps 8 people total. Sleeps 6 in beds along with additional accommodations located in the office space for a Murphy Bed to sleep 2. This property is a nature lovers paradise.

We stayed here to be close to our son’s home. This was a very quiet neighborhood. The house is situated on Lake Sante Fe so your views from the back porch are mesmerizing.

A Serene Lakeside Retreat

Our stay at this beautiful home on Lake Santa Fe was nothing short of perfect. The views from the screened-in porch were absolutely incredible, providing a peaceful backdrop for our mornings and evenings. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet, adding to the overall sense of tranquility. We were especially captivated by the stunning sunsets each night. This is a place we would gladly return to for another relaxing getaway. Highly recommended!

House with a view!

Great lakefront property. Pictures are accurate, beautiful house, and many enjoyable sunsets over the lake. The house was clean which is always my top priority. The beds were comfortable. The appliances in the house are excellent. We enjoyed seeing boaters, jet skis and wake boarders on the lake on Saturday. We would stay here again and would recommend to others!

What a beautiful paradise

Had an amazing stay and it couldn’t be a more beautiful home. Bunnies, hawks, owls, squirrels, turtles, and fish everywhere. The beautiful Cypress and lapping waves of Lake Sante Fe, I felt like Marjorie Kinan Rawlings watching a deer and dreaming of being on the water as I rocked on the swinging bed on the most beautiful porch watching candy colored sunsets or even enjoying a run in the rain, washed anew in fresh dreams enjoying the area. Refreshing to say the least.

Great graduation vacay

Great house on the lake. We had a wonderful time. We only have 2 suggestions. 1. The upstairs bathroom needs a curtain at the window. You can see the person showering. We had to purchase a shower curtain rod and a dark linee.2. I would recommend having a iron.Otherwise it was great

What a wonderful lake house!

The lake house was absolutely perfect for our family. Beds were very comfortable and enough bathrooms to accommodate everyone. Living room space was great! We enjoyed having a lot of seating right in front of the big tv and fireplace. The office behind the tv was an awesome space for my mom to do her makeup in the morning! Loved all of the big windows and blinds to close at night time for privacy. The back porch facing the lake was beautiful and relaxing. We were able to bring our boat and tie up on the dock at the property. Very well stocked kitchen with dishwasher and lots of space. Washer and dryer were great. I will book again for our next Thanksgiving trip! Thank you again to our awesome hosts. They were great and quickly available for anything we needed. Book here!!

Beautiful views over the lake

My husband and I spent 3 weeks at this beautiful property. The house has windows all around it and wonderful back and front porches. The sunsets through the cypress trees were magnificent! My husband loves to fish and hooked into some big ones, but unfortunately there was a cold snap when we were there so the fishing wasn’t as great as he had anticipated. Overall, we had a great stay!
