CMS Interior Design, a prolific South Bay studio specializing
in luxury coastal residences, recently revitalized the Villa, with
new furniture and artwork, rugs, lighting and accessories—like
textured grasscloth on the walls—among the updates. Juxta-
posed with Mediterranean touches, like amber-grained wood
floors and vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, are the
Villa's freshly contemporary spaces, like an open-plan kitchen
with gleaming appliances and a central island of glossy new
quartz. "It has a wonderfully refreshing cool coastal palette
that instantly reminds us of why we love the seaside," points
out Lennon.
For locals, life at Terranea is amplified by the fact that
purchasing a property here means year-round membership in an
exclusive club, whether one is in-residence or not. "If an owner
decides to partner with the resort for renting out the Villa, the
owner's family gets to use Terranea as a type of country club,"
notes Lennon, "with access to the amenities even if they're not
staying there." Concierge service, along with preferred pricing
and reservations are extended to owners when dining and golf-
ing or visiting the spa, and they're always welcome to spend
the day at the resort.
From enjoying a family afternoon at the main pool, where
kids whoosh down the 140-foot water slide, to a round of golf
followed by an al fresco dinner overlooking the ocean, Terranea
functions as a versatile hub of easygoing luxury for local owners
year round. "There is even an Owners Lounge overlooking the
resort pool inside the resort, which is sort of like a club within
a club," explains Lennon. "It's a special place to invite friends
to have a cocktail before going to dinner at the resort, and occa-
sionally there are owner-only events held there."
Condé Nast Traveler, for one, included Terranea in last year's
Readers' Choice Awards. It was included in successive prior
years too, with guests praising the ripe natural beauty and
well-considered selection of amenities at this oceanfront resort;
the only one in Los Angeles County. To dwell in the resort's
signature atmosphere of easygoing luxury, surrounded by the
jewel-like beauty of Palos Verdes Peninsula anytime you wish
throughout the year—and in the comfort of one's own familiar
residence, however, is another welcome level of immersion at
Terranea. "Villa 14-201 is the perfect combination of being at
the resort," describes Lennon, "but having a luxurious quiet
getaway that offers privacy, your own garage, a gourmet kitchen
and plenty of comfortable furniture for gathering and reconnect-
ing with family and friends." Sounds like home already.
