I'm leaving a second review to update on my experience. I've had my place for about a year now. I love the house we got and have been very pleased with the house maintenance, the booking system, and the overall process. The buying process was a breeze. The booking process is easy. No hate by surly neighbors looking to tar and feather us. My kids love the place, and we enjoy having a vacation spot that feels like our second home. Having storage places to leave your gear has been great. One concern I had going into the purchase was whether you were going to feel like this was AirB&B. However, that has never been an issue. We check in and no one has ever bothered us during our multiple stays or done anything to make it feel like it wasn't our place while we are there. Post-purchase, one concern I had was when Pacaso indicated it was taking house cleaning internal and whether this would result in the upkeep jumping radically as a way to increase profits. That has not been an issue for me. I think needing to internalize the work for consistency is fair given where the labor market has been. One thing people should keep in mind, is that you most likely won't be able to utilize the house 44 days a year per share. There is a day break for cleaning between guests (at least for now), there are caps on summer and holiday booking per share to keep some availability for all, and some available dates fall in mid week periods where you may not be able to stay. That being said, I think Pacaso does everything possible to keep the process fair and ensure there is reasonable availability for all. If you tried to arrange a fractional ownership set up yourself, this is where things would ultimately go to hell in a handbasket - the fighting over who gets what dates. Pacaso allows that process to be outsourced with a fair system that applies to everyone. If you are buying a share from someone, make sure you ask to see what dates they currently have booked. Overall, I think this a great approach to having a fun vacation place if you have some money to spare for a luxury item and do not want to spend the time keeping up a second home.
