See why our guests and homeowners love Grand Welcome!

"
We loved our stay at the Cypress Cottage! The ocean views were absolutely stunning! The native landscape (succulents, cypress trees, etc.) were gorgeous. The location was breathtaking. Private residential community on a hillside with ocean views N to Santa Cruz & S to Monterey. Peaceful, tranquil environment. The interior of the house was vibrant & charming with huge windows showcasing the expansive ocean views. The beds & pillows were so very comfortable. The colorful, beautiful artwork displayed inside painted by the owner added significantly to the overall relaxing experience. The setting at night felt almost Magical. The cottage was exactly as described. We would easily recommend the Cypress College to anyone in need of a quiet escape. Loved it!
