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.

We love our Pacaso We love our Pacaso. We are 30 minutes from home but feel a world away. We arrive to an immaculate home, with every detail looked after. Fresh ocean breeze, 180 degree views of the Pacific, sounds of the waves, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, direct access to the beach….its a magical place for our family to spend time together and create memories.

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.

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?

Excellent sales process, straightforward answers Outstanding patience with questions & straightforward answers through the sales process. We looked at a number of homes over 6+ months before moving forward. Very impressed with the members of the sales team that we worked with. The legal structure is complex, but I think it makes sense for the shared ownership model they are creating. I had it reviewed by outside counsel who concluded that their documents were well thought out & drafted. We haven't stayed at the house yet, but our initial interactions with the property manager have been great as well.
