Manhattan Point on the Whitefish Chain

A one-stop shop success story.

At Woods to Water, we pride ourselves on being more than just a real estate company. We’re a partner at every step of the journey, helping our clients find, design, and manage properties that go beyond a home—they become memories, investments, and opportunities. Manhattan Point is a perfect example of how our one-stop-shop approach brings big dreams to life.

From purchase to possibility. 

When the owners of Manhattan Point set out to find their ideal property, they knew they needed a partner who understood the unique dynamics of the Brainerd Lakes Area. With the help of a Woods to Water real estate agent, Paul Augustinack, they found a newly built home that captured their vision: modern design, lake access, and the perfect location for a northern Minnesota retreat.

As the keys were handed over at the closing table, our sister company, we stepped in to help the owners transform their new build into a luxury vacation rental. This seamless transition is what sets Woods to Water apart—by working hand-in-hand across real estate and property management, we help clients unlock their property’s full potential.

Turning your home into an income-producing asset.

Once the real estate side was complete, the vacation homes team got to work ensuring Manhattan Point stood out in the competitive short-term rental market.

Here’s how we brought the vision to life:

  • Professional Staging and Photography: Every corner of the home was designed to showcase its unique features, from the high-end finishes to the stunning views, ensuring it caught the eye of potential guests.
  • Strategic Marketing: Manhattan Point was listed on our booking platform and promoted across major rental sites, reaching an audience of travelers looking for a high-end getaway.
  • Full-Service Management: From guest inquiries and cleaning schedules to maintenance and local recommendations, our team handled all the details so the owners could enjoy peace of mind—and reliable income.
A vision that works both ways.

Manhattan Point is now more than just a luxury rental—it’s a true example of how Woods to Water creates value for our clients. Our one-stop-shop model made it easy for the owners to transition from purchase to income production without juggling multiple vendors or worrying about details. For the owners, it’s not just about making their property work for them—it’s about knowing they have a trusted team in their corner every step of the way. And for guests, it’s the chance to experience lake life at its finest, creating memories in a space that’s been curated for comfort and connection.
