It’s not a timeshare — it’s my home It's not until I take friends and family to my Pacaso that they truly appreciate the whole experience and value proposition. Pacaso does an excellent job of putting the house together in a way that a lot of designers don't. I love the size and the breathtaking views, and I can bring a lot of friends and family over to entertain. Now that we have the home, the kids feel compelled to come. We've had a lot of really cherished moments together.

Our experience was good and the staff… Our experience was good and the staff was very helpful. The only reason I did not give 5 starts is that we had much anxiety when we could not find dates for our new house until we found out that some dates were pre-blocked for new owners. If we had known this prior to closing, it would have caused us much less stress about our purchase. We recommend disclosing this to future owners before closing.

Owning a Pacaso quarter share in Palm Desert My husband and I own a quarter share of a Pacaso home in Palm Desert, and I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Pacaso. We also own a timeshare in Palm Desert, which we enjoy, but the timeshare experience feels more corporate, less personal, not like the homey, feeling of our Pacaso home. All the timeshare units are the same, and there is no home manager and no storage space. Our Pacaso experience is so different! We have found the home manager, and management team to be incredibly responsive, and we have developed personal relationships with the team. The home truly feels like our own. When we walk in the home, it is perfectly clean and the furnishings are just spectacular. When we first saw our home it was jawdropping. On our first stay, we were thinking about buying another share, and our son asked us “ What are you waiting for?” We live on the East Coast, so being 1/4 owners is ideal for us, allowing us to maximize our stay. We have hosted our family and friends, and they are awestruck, finding their stay with us, relaxing and restorative, Noting that “this was the best sleep I’ve had in years”. Our Pacaso home has been absolutely wonderful. It’s completely worry free with everything taken care of. I’m so grateful.

This is the model for us! Pacaso has a very different model that fits us perfectly. I can't afford 100% of the type of home that would be right for us, and couldn't use it enough to justify the expense anyway. And, I've seen too many instances where the second home owners spend so much of their time on upkeep and maintenance, not enjoying their time away from daily life. We're excited about our Pacaso adventure.

Bait and Switch Initially we loved Pacaso. We loved our home and the staff was always responsive. Then after a year, they assessed each home owner approximately $8K as they didn't budget accurately. On top of that, they increased our monthly payment by 65%!! It's a real bait and switch where they lure you into ownership and then assess you a huge amount at the end of the year (no forewarning whatsoever), and then greatly increase your monthly fee. At a time when inflation is less than 4% how in the world can they justify a 65% increase?
