We live to host.
Art Coast is a hospitality-focused company that matches privately owned vacation homes with travelers looking to discover or re-experience the stunning beauty of Southwest Michigan.
Let us do the dirty work for you.
Managing a second home is hard work and managing one as an investment is even harder. Art Coast’s goal is to remove this burden from property owners with a full-service, hands-off experience. Our clients maximize the enjoyment of owning a second home, resting assured that their property is in great hands.
How it all began…
Art Coast Properties was born out of necessity: necessity for an elevated, short-term rental experience. One that marries the luxuries of staying at a high-end resort with the homey-ness of a vacation rental. We’ve been fortunate enough to travel far and wide, both nationally and internationally, staying at some fabulous hotels and many short-term rentals. Through our experiences, we realized there was a stark difference between the two. But why? Art Coast Properties came to fruition when we realized we don't have to sacrifice the luxuries of staying at a high-end resort while wanting the seclusion of staying at a private home. Taking notes from swanky resorts in Bangkok to quaint bed and breakfasts right here in the States, we have compiled some of our favorite luxuries and have implemented them into this booming short-term vacation rental industry.
Why Southwest Michigan? As Midwesterners, we have been graced with the beauty of Michigan all our lives. After many weekend vacations to Saugatuck, we realized this is not only where our business is needed but where we want to build a life. Its many attributes make it ideal: the community is vibrant and inviting, the natural beauty is plentiful, and it’s in close proximity to surrounding midwestern cities. Our goal is to elevate the vacation rental industry by infusing our level of standards and hospitality here in Southwest Michigan. Take what you know about short term vacation rentals, throw it away, and say hello to Southwest Michigan’s premier vacation rental management company, Art Coast Properties. Let us take your Michigan adventure to the next tier. Come and see for yourself!
Let us manage your vacation home, ensuring it’s pristine, secure, and profitable.

If you’re lucky, you might catch them in town singing karaoke at the local pub. Make sure to say hi, but don’t say anything about their singing voices. They’re working on those.
