GBOur 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.

GBThis 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.

GBIt’s almost like having a private hotel I’ve been going to Tahoe once or twice a ski season, renting Airbnbs with my brother and his family. I thought it’d be great to have a vacation home, but it seemed like such a hassle. I think the Pacaso model solves a lot of that. Scheduling is one of the best things about our Pacaso so far. The app has been terrific. I’m a UX designer working in apps, and I appreciate all the built-in features. I find that I'm getting most of the dates I want. Being able to share home information with guests has been a nice addition. We’ve tried swapping dates recently and that totally worked out for us too. Plus, I love having a home manager — that kind of white-glove approach is terrific. The thing I love about my Pacaso is that it’s not only a beautiful home but it also becomes a gravitational pull to bring in friends and family to spend quality time together!

GBBait 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?

GBThe entire experience was guided by… The entire experience was guided by friendly knowledge and accommodating staff We are excited to have a vacation home we never could have afforded on our own We toured the place before buying and Sebastian met us and answered our questions and was a pleasure to deal with Lana our escrow/document person was equally lovely and polite Katie our host and concierge has been delightful, accessible and helpful. Only critiques: 1. some costs were sprung on us on the end but those were waived 2. Some high season dates are allocated by Pacaso initially and then open again at different interval dates on the app -this was not exactly explained upfront Again overall Pacaso makes the process easy and we are looking forward to our family vacations
