Good to know

A kitsch-soaked hideaway in the post-apocalyptic wonderland of Bombay Beach: step inside The Palazzo, where roadside Americana meets desert surrealism. This one-bedroom retreat is drenched in charm and eccentricity: think leather club chairs, vintage lamps, wood paneling, and bold prints by the photographer-owner. The atmosphere is equal parts lodge, love letter, and Lynchian living room. Located at 1st Street and Avenue E—just five blocks from the ghostly shores of the Salton Sea—this fully air-conditioned home is your launchpad for exploring the strange sublime of the Imperial Valley: Salvation Mountain, Slab City, East Jesus, and the decaying glamour of Bombay Beach itself. Inside:     •    A queen bedroom with crisp linens and dreamcatchers above the bed     •    A spacious living room with two sofas, armchairs, a flatscreen TV, and glowing lamps for that golden-hour glow all night long     •    A dining nook that conjures 1970s supper club vibes     •    A stocked kitchen and a cozy office nook with an ergonomic chair for remote work or poetic musing     •    Lighting-fast WiFi, three cooling units, and a porch facing the train tracks for your daily fix of cinematic ambience The lot is fenced, pet-friendly, and private. But remember: Bombay Beach is more than a destination—it’s an art colony, social experiment, and poetic ruin. There’s no gas station. But there is magic.

Loved staying at the great little place in Bombay Beach! Tao made sure to have everything we could need during our stay. Enjoyed walking and exploring all the amazing art around the town and at the beach. Truly one of my favorite areas to stay. Can’t wait to visit again :)

I had an incredible 3-night stay at this lovely rental in Bombay Beach, CA! The location is unbeatable—a few minutes' walk to the beach and with a stunning mountain view that made every sunrise and sunset magical. It’s also the perfect base for exploring the Salton Sea and the unique surroundings. The house was spotless, with new sheets and a super comfortable bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The huge TV was a nice bonus for relaxing in the evenings. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe here, which made the experience even better. Tao, the owner, was fantastic—communication was seamless, and they made sure everything I needed was readily available. From shampoo to spices, all the little details were thoughtfully taken care of. If you're looking for a clean, cozy place in an excellent location with an attentive and friendly host, this is it. I can’t wait to return and would recommend it to anyone looking to experience the charm of Bombay Beach!
