About Coast & Keys

Coast & Keys is a Perth-based short-stay property management business built around strong property performance, great guest experiences and genuine relationships.

We believe successful short-stay management is about more than pricing, bookings and occupancy. It means understanding the property, caring about the owners and guests behind every stay, and working closely with owners to build something that performs sustainably over time.

Property management with a more personal approach.

Meet the Founder

James Dorn
Founder, Coast & Keys

I founded Coast & Keys because I wanted to build a short-stay business that combined strong commercial thinking with something I believe matters just as much — genuinely caring about the people you work with.

To me, an owner's property isn't just another listing, and a guest isn't just another booking. I want to build meaningful, long-term relationships with the people I work with, communicate openly and work through things together rather than treating every interaction like a transaction.

Alongside that personal approach, Coast & Keys is built around evidence-led decision making, thoughtful property positioning, active revenue management and strong operational systems.

The aim is simple: look after the property, look after the people, build sustainable performance for the owner, and create the kind of experience guests want to come back to.
