What You Own — Pacaso Kiawah Island
Buying a Pacaso share means buying an LLC membership interest in a specific property. That interest carries equity value — it tracks the home's real estate value, can appreciate, and can be resold on the open market through the MLS.
Operating costs including maintenance, repairs, utilities, and property taxes are shared pro rata among co-owners at cost with no markup.
This is co-ownership, not a timeshare. There is no fixed week, no points system, and no use-rights-only structure. You own a fractional equity stake in a real property on Kiawah Island.

KICA and Island-Specific Ownership Obligations
Any Pacaso share on Kiawah Island carries the same island-wide obligations as traditional ownership:
KICA assessment. All Kiawah Island property owners pay an annual KICA assessment funding the Sandcastle, bike paths, beach access, and island infrastructure. That cost is shared pro rata through the LLC.
Kiawah Island Club membership. Club membership is required in Cassique and The Settlement only — not island-wide. If a Pacaso home sits in either of those neighborhoods, Club membership is part of the purchase. PHE can confirm the Club status of any specific listing.
Regime fees. If the property is a villa, the applicable community regime fee applies and is shared pro rata among co-owners.
