About this property

Odessa Oil Show Gem near Coliseum

Charming cottage with new AC, front/back gardens, and street parking. It is located halfway between the Ector County Coliseum (2mi) and the downtown Marriott Conference Center (1mi), near I-20, and three blocks from a great Mexican food restaurant. In the 1950s, this quaint cottage was a hot-sheeter boarding house for two crews of ten oil field roughnecks and a foreman. The space has a vintage vibe throughout with loads of antique furniture, original art, artistic touches, skylights, a beadboard ceiling, handmade screen doors, original wood doors, wood floors, and light fixtures. The bedroom features a double bed, a cozy reading space with a loaded bookcase, lovely afternoon light, and the option of blackout shades and curtains. The cottage also includes an updated bath/shower, a twin-sized daybed with a hide-away pop-up trundle, an antique media armoire with a smart TV, Roku, and Bose speakers. There is a small office nook in the living room with fast Wi-fi.

Just walk in. Everything included (soft sheet sets, choice pillows, comforter, blankets, cookware, dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils, food storage containers, ice-cube trays, room temp reverse-osmosis water dispenser, Calphalon pots and pans, Lékué silicon microwave cookware, electric skillet, crockpot, mixer, blender, Keurig, percolator, ironing setup, yoga setup, blow dryer, vacuum, mop, and a local guide). The starter set includes filled water jugs, paper products/toiletries, cooking oils/spices, coffee pods/grounds, and cleaning items. The kitchen sports an old ironing board fold-out table, a new 9cuf fridge, and a new 20” gas stove. It has a street-side garden/porch in front and a tiny enclosed garden in the back. Ample street parking is available. Access to W/D is available once a week, and a big coin laundry with drop-off service is nearby.

No parties/ smoking/vaping/candles. No pets—we have curious indoor/outdoor cats. The Mexican restaurant has a sports bar area, outdoor seating available, and weekend mariachi music. A small grocery/gas/water refill is three blocks away. The best burrito options are available, depending on direction and time. You will need a car to get around town and explore Big Bend and Far West Texas.

About the host

Hosted by Beckwith Thompson

Host profile image
We are longtime residents and community college photography teachers/artists, soon to be retired, living close by. We create commissioned fine-art photography for designers, realtors, businesses, and homeowners. Our large wall art has furnished everything from a tiny, elegant home library to small businesses, industrial schools, and multi-story commercial buildings.

Our subject matter often includes florals, landscapes, portraiture, and still-life images. So far, we have explored and curated art for various industries, such as oil, banking, music, architecture, and automobiles, often creating artwork on-site. We are actively seeking to venture into different visual sectors.

We also photograph people and products for businesses and teach photographic workshops. Our award-winning artwork is regularly shown in museums/venues/exhibits nationwide and sold to clients worldwide.
