Don’t worry, a timeshare this ain’t. The way it works is that Pacaso purchases jaw-dropping luxury homes, sets up an LLC and then sells actual ownership in one-eighth shares, each of which translates to about six weeks of use per year. Long story short, you’re able to get a much swankier crib than you would normally, you can easily spread your use out over the year, you actually own a share of the property (rather than the “right to use” time typical of a timeshare), and because Pacaso manages said property, there’s none of the typical hassle of second-home ownership.

As for what kind of homes we’re talking about? Well, we figured showing is better than telling, so below you’ll find three of our favorite Pacaso properties that you might want to take a gander at (because what can it hurt, really?). Read on and decide for yourself which best befits your getaway aspirations.
