"Bombay Beach was an incredibly fun and unique trip. I’m so glad we chose the Zigzag House for our stay. The home was beautifully decorated, clean, and cozy. We truly enjoyed exploring the art throughout the community and along the beach. Our host was very easy to contact and extremely helpful. I highly recommend visiting and staying here."

"Everything about this place made it the best weekend ever. The property manager made the initial process of getting into the place as seamless as possible, allowing me to order ahead groceries to be delivered before we got there. The place is as described - absolute massive grounds with plenty of activities to keep us busy the entire time, without ever feeling the need to leave. Would 1000% come back."
