Our new Napa home Our family was looking into a vacation property. We didn't need or want a 365 home. What we did want is a large really nice home in a location that allowed us to lure friends and family to gather. We didn't want the obligations associated with second homes either, such as management, upkeep, bills etc. Pacaso offered exactly that

It’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!

This concept is simply incredible! This concept is simply incredible! I've purchased two units on two separate properties. One is in Park City and the other is on Newport Beach peninsula. The properties are amazing, well furnished and completely turn key. Instead of the seller renting out to air bnb daily or weekly renters Pacaso limits to just 8 owners. True owners on title. The level of care that brings from just 8 owners as opposed to hundreds of random renters over time helps keep the local community stable and thriving. I can not thank Pacaso enough for this concept that brought homes financially out of reach within the grasp of my family.

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?

Purchasing our second home with Pacaso The process of purchasing our first Pacaso home was fast and easy. While it was a phenomenal house, it wasn't the perfect fit for our family with three kids. We were able to use the transfer program and it couldn't have been easier to switch houses. Now we’re in a home that’s a much better fit for our family. Our home manager has been nothing short of amazing. She's not just a manager but a friend, going the extra mile to make our guests feel at home when we can't be there. Pacaso has truly been a game-changer. It just makes sense for us. It has forced us to take meaningful vacations together as a family. We're invested in this house for the long term, envisioning years of enjoyment and even the possibility of future generations creating memories here. It's the perfect fit for where we are in life right now, and I have zero regrets about our Pacaso investment.
