3-bed house in arts destination Bombay Beach with AC, WiFi, and sculpture garden

Bombay Beach style at its finest. “They paint the houses these ridiculous colors,” said Commander Wacko, head of the American Legion, to The Guardian, referring to the artists now flocking to town. We certainly do, Commander. We most certainly do.

Welcome to The Zigzag House — a one-of-a-kind desert escape splashed in sun-faded hues and filled with character. Inside, you’ll find artwork by renowned photographer Robert Stivers, alongside playful design touches and lived-in charm. The home features one master bedroom with a full bed, plus two tiny single-bed rooms ideal for singles. There's one bathroom, wall A/C units for those blazing desert days, and space heaters to keep you warm on cooler nights.

Step outside and you're in Zig Zag Piazza — a vibrant art plaza featuring an eclectic sculpture garden, the Bombay Beach Museum of Bombay Beach, a massive 60-person dining table, an open-air kitchen, and plenty of space to gather, lounge, or reflect under the stars. It’s a place where meals become events and strangers become collaborators.

Just blocks from the shoreline of the Salton Sea and surrounded by renegade art installations, The Zigzag House is more than a place to stay — it’s a node in the living, breathing experiment that is Bombay Beach.

Please note that Zig Zag Piazza is open to the public and often has tourists wandering through to take pictures.
