Shores Signature Services provides complete extended-stay rental management designed to protect your property, simplify ownership, and create income beyond the traditional vacation-rental season. From professional marketing and guest placement to housekeeping, property oversight, and monthly accounting, our local team manages the details while keeping you connected to your home.
A Different Kind of Guest. A Different Kind of Stay.
Extended-stay guests are not simply vacationers staying longer. They may be relocating to Southwest Michigan, completing a temporary work assignment, renovating or building a home, navigating an insurance displacement, working remotely, or spending an entire season near Lake Michigan.
​
These guests are looking for the comfort, privacy, and character of a thoughtfully furnished home—and they are willing to plan ahead for the right one.

A successful extended stay requires more than finding someone willing to rent the home. It requires thoughtful guest placement, clear expectations, responsive local support, and continued attention to the condition of the property.For every 30-day reservation, Shores schedules a refresh cleaning approximately two weeks into the stay. Fresh linens and towels are provided, the home is professionally cleaned, and our team has an opportunity to confirm that the property remains comfortable, orderly, and well cared for.
Only guests identified on the rental agreement are permitted to occupy the home. Unauthorized occupants, assignment of the reservation, and subletting are prohibited under our guest agreement.
​
Shores also maintains supplemental contents protection providing up to $10,000 per rental occurrence for covered damage to interior furnishings and household contents. This supplemental protection does not replace the homeowner’s property and liability insurance, but it provides an additional layer of reassurance during managed stays.
Our team is based here in Southwest Michigan. When a guest has a question, housekeeping is needed, or a maintenance concern arises during an occupied stay, there is a local team available to respond.
Necessary repairs and services are coordinated with the homeowner, with authorization requested for individual items exceeding $500 unless immediate action is reasonably necessary to prevent additional damage, address a safety concern, or preserve the guest’s comfort.

Owners receive secure access to a personalized portal through Guesty, our professional property-management platform, where they can review availability, reserve personal-use dates, and stay connected to their property. Detailed monthly statements provide a clear accounting of rental income and authorized expenses, keeping owners informed without requiring them to manage the daily demands of the rental themselves.
A Shores Signature home should be comfortably furnished, thoughtfully maintained, properly insured, and prepared to meet the needs of guests living in the property for a month or longer.
​
Our team will evaluate your home, discuss your preferred availability, review applicable community or municipal requirements, and help determine whether extended-stay rental management aligns with your property and financial goals.
