Which rooms allow dogs?
Pet-friendly stays at Terranea are limited to Casita accommodations; standard Guestrooms, Bungalows, and Villas are not designated for pets. When you book, confirm you’ve reserved a Casita room type so your dog is allowed.
Examples of Casita room names on the Terranea inventory include Room, 1 Bedroom, Resort View (Casita); Suite, 1 Bedroom, Ocean View (Casita); Ocean View Casita Room; Premier Ocean View Casita Room; and several multi‑bedroom Casita listings. Always verify the specific room name on your reservation.
- Pet stays limited to Casita accommodations only
- Confirm the exact room name on your booking (Casita appears in the room name)
- If your travel agent or booking site doesn’t show 'Casita', call Reservations to confirm

|---|---|
| Room, 1 Bedroom, Resort View (Casita) | Casita |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom, Ocean View (Casita) | Casita |

Pet size, number limits, and breed policy
Terranea allows either one dog up to 50 pounds, or two dogs with a combined weight up to 75 pounds. These limits apply per guest room and are part of the resort’s pet policy.
The resort also states it may refuse any aggressive breed; the property reserves the right to deny entry if a dog is deemed aggressive. If you have a large or strong-breed dog, contact Reservations before booking to confirm acceptance.
- One dog: up to 50 lbs
- Two dogs: combined weight up to 75 lbs
- Aggressive breeds may be refused at management’s discretion
| Allowed pets | Weight limit |
|---|---|
| One dog | Up to 50 lbs |
| Two dogs | Combined up to 75 lbs |
Fees, booking steps, and housekeeping
A non-refundable pet fee is charged and varies by Casita type. You must notify Terranea Reservations in advance if you plan to bring a dog; the resort requires advance notice for pet stays.
For safety and cleanliness, housekeeping service is not provided while a pet occupies the room. That means no daily housekeeping will enter while the pet is in the room; plan accordingly for linen or refresh needs by speaking with Reservations or Concierge.
- Notify Reservations in advance of arrival that you’re bringing a pet
- Housekeeping will not service the room while a pet is present
- Pet fee is non-refundable and depends on the Casita type
| Casita type | Non-refundable pet fee |
|---|---|
| Casita | $295 |
| Casita Suite | $395 |
| Multi-Unit Casita Suite | $595 |
Where your dog can and cannot go on property
Pets are restricted from several common areas. Dogs are not allowed at any of the resort pools, in The Spa, in the indoor lobby, or on The Links golf facilities.
There are outdoor areas of the property where dogs can be walked, but always keep your dog leashed and follow local regulations and resort rules to avoid fines or removal from the property.
- Not allowed: any resort pools
- Not allowed: The Spa and Spa Pool facilities
- Not allowed: indoor lobby and The Links golf course
- Keep dogs leashed on property and clean up after them
| Area | Pet access |
|---|---|
| Resort pools | Not permitted |
| The Spa and Spa Pool | Not permitted |
| Indoor lobby & The Links | Not permitted |
Practical tips for bringing your dog
Bring proof of vaccinations and any medical information your dog may need in case of an emergency. Even well-trained dogs can be stressed by travel; a familiar blanket or toy helps, and a crate or carrier will be useful if you need to be away from the Casita while your dog is inside.
Because housekeeping won’t service rooms while a pet is present, pack extra linens and plan to request any special services through Reservations or Concierge. Confirm check-in procedures and where to pick up any pet-related information on arrival.
- Pack vaccination records, medications, leash, waste bags, and a crate
- Bring familiar bedding or toys to reduce stress
- Confirm check-in process and pet rules with Reservations before arrival
- Ask Concierge about nearby off-leash areas or pet-friendly walks
| Item | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Vaccination records | May be requested for safety or in case of emergency |
| Crate or carrier | Keeps pet secure when you must leave room |
| Extra towels/linens | Useful since housekeeping won't service room while pet is present |
