Room, 1 Bedroom, Resort View (Casita)

This is a 1,098 sq. ft. one-bedroom Casita with a resort view, set up with a bedroom, a living area, a dining nook and a full kitchenette. It is reached by exterior corridors. Terranea Resort sits on 102 oceanfront acres on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

The bedroom has one king bed dressed in premium, hypo-allergenic bedding, with blackout drapes for sleeping in. The Casita sleeps up to three guests. That suits a couple, or a couple with one child.

Yes. The kitchenette has a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. It also comes with cookware, dishware and utensils, a coffee/tea maker and a dining table. That makes it practical for a longer stay or for breakfast in the room. 24-hour room service is also available.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower. It is stocked with bathrobes, slippers, towels, a hair dryer and free toiletries.

A mandatory daily resort fee applies. For the Lifestyle Collection, which includes 1-3 Bedroom Casitas, it is $90 per night. It covers Wi-Fi, in-room coffee and tea, nightly turndown, nightly live entertainment and fitness center access. It also covers pool chairs and umbrellas, and Lexus shuttle service to select Palos Verdes locations. Weekly guided coastal hikes to Point Vicente Lighthouse and a falconry meet and greet are included too.

Yes. Terranea Resort is family-friendly and welcomes children of all ages. The Casita's kitchenette and separate living area give a family room to spread out. The Resort Pool is the family pool, open 8am–8pm, with a 140-foot waterslide running 11am–4pm. Vista Pool is for ages 13 and up, and Cielo Point is adults-only (21+). Pool chairs and umbrellas are included in the resort fee.

Terranea Beach Cove is rocky and not suited to swimming. It does offer kayak rentals, archery and snorkel tours. The resort also has four oceanfront pools. On land, the Terranea Discovery Trail is an easy coastal walk, and Point Vicente Lighthouse is about 1.3 miles away.

The Resort View overlooks Terranea's landscaped grounds and gardens rather than a direct ocean panorama, which keeps the nightly rate below the resort's ocean-view categories. Given that Terranea sits on 102 oceanfront acres with Pacific views from its public spaces, pools, and restaurants, guests in a Resort View Casita still have the ocean a short walk away — this view suits travelers who want the space and kitchenette of a Lifestyle Collection Casita without paying the premium for a water-facing room.

Standard Guestrooms & Suites and Bungalow Guestrooms are smaller and carry the lower $75/night resort fee, but they don't include a kitchenette or separate living and dining areas. This Casita sits in the Lifestyle Collection at $90/night resort fee, giving guests a full kitchenette, dishwasher, and dining table in 1,098 sq. ft. Multi-bedroom Casitas and Villas offer the same style of living but scale up in bedrooms and square footage for larger groups, so this one-bedroom version is sized for a couple or small family rather than a multi-family gathering.

Access is via exterior corridors, which places this Casita in one of Terranea's low-rise, garden-set clusters rather than inside the main hotel building — generally a quieter setting away from lobby traffic. From there, it's an easy walk across the 102-acre property to the resort's four oceanfront pools and its dining venues, including Mar'sel and Bashi, all of which share the same Rancho Palos Verdes address as the Casita itself.
