Purchasing (and owning) a vacation home can often feel like a maze of decisions and commitments. But for Tracy and her family, discovering Pacaso was a game-changer — a life-changing decision that has brought so much joy and comfort into their lives.

A whole different value proposition

Tracy's introduction to Pacaso was through an unexpected source: YouTube. "We watched every YouTube video until we understood the concept of shared ownership and were able to articulate it," she explains. For Tracy, taking time to research and understand Pacaso’s unique shared ownership model made it easy to grasp the benefits and logistics.One common misconception she gets among friends and family is the comparison of Pacaso to a timeshare. "I get questions about timeshare but the value proposition is completely different," she shares. "I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to educate people on what Pacaso is all about, and they use the same word: no-brainer. Why wouldn’t everybody buy a Pacaso?" A key feature that caught her and her husband’s attention was Pacaso's Design Certified standards. “It was a strong selling point for us. It's nice to walk into the home and see things that I’d have in my primary home,” she shares, reflecting on the thoughtful design elements in her Pacaso. "It makes our Pacaso feel that much more like home to us."

A place for loved ones to vacation

One of the main motivations for Tracy was the desire to have an impressive space where she could bring her friends and family together. "We want to bring friends and family to a place where they could vacation too," she says. This vision has become a reality, with their Pacaso home becoming a beloved gathering spot.In fact, Tracy's Isle of Palms Pacaso home has become so popular that they often have a full house. "We have too many people coming, and we can’t get them out of the house," she laughs. "The house is beautiful, and we have space for multiple groups."Comfort is also paramount for Tracy, and Pacaso also delivers on that front. "My whole family sleeps very well when we're in our Pacaso," she says with a smile. "I need that same bedding situation in my primary home!" It's the little details in a Pacaso home that make stays truly special.

Memories that last forever

Among her favorite memories are the simple, cherished moments spent with her loved ones. She recalls having lunch with her family for the first time in forever in her Pacaso, without the rush of a restaurant setting. Another treasured memory is an experience with her dad. "We were having a quiet moment sharing a glass of wine. My dad turned me to said, 'You’ve done good, kid,'" she reminisces, highlighting the real pride and happiness her Pacaso home has brought to her family. "Honestly, tears."Tracy’s journey with Pacaso illustrates the joy and convenience of the co-ownership model. It’s not just about owning a property — it’s about creating a haven for unforgettable moments with those who matter most. "It's the full package for us," she exclaims.With Pacaso, families can co-own a luxury second home in their happy place and make lasting memories year-round — without any of the hassles.
