Openwater Hospitality

Where we work

The Lake Michigan lakeshore, town by town.

We co-host vacation rentals in fourteen lakeshore communities, from Holland north to Ludington. Every town has its own rulebook, its own season, and its own guest. Pick yours below for the plain-English version: what's allowed, what a license costs, how demand actually behaves, and what we handle once you're live.

We do not work in Grand Rapids. The city's ordinance effectively bans non-owner-occupied short-term rentals, so there's no honest version of this service there.
