Fort Awesome! Ocean Front View, Agate Beach, Newport, Oregon
The perfect family vacation along the Oregon Coast ~ you won’t find a better view!
This three-bedroom, 2 bath home (Sleeps 7) has been completely remodeled with some of the finest finishing touches and new furniture. Two bedrooms have direct views of the ocean and lighthouse, one bedroom has a partial view of the ocean. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in even the stormiest weather, the view is always amazing. Hot tub recently added to back deck. (Please follow all hot tub rules.) *An additional $50 cleaning fee is required for stays 14-30 days long.
Located in the Agate Beach neighborhood at the north end of town, conveniently close to beaches, parks, restaurants, and local shops. The beautifully remodeled kitchen with brand new appliances has plenty of prep space ~ you can even see the view of the ocean from the kitchen island! Lounge on the couch in the living room and take in the panoramic view, enjoy the cozy fire in the fireplace, or watch a movie. Whatever you do, you will surely enjoy your time.

View was great. Barbecue was difficult to start. Hard to have a campfire when quiet time is 9:30 and it gets dark at nine. It makes you nervous to sit outside at night. Not worth the price.
The house and view were great!However, kitchen drawers were dirty, couch in main room had snot on it (which I cleaned), quite a few cobwebs around the ceiling, and the air filter was very thick with dust. Regardless, the house was so nice that we were able to ignore those issues pretty quickly.
We love it so much that it’s become a Thanksgiving tradition! We have already booked it for Thanksgiving next year which will be our third year at Fort Awesome for the holiday. We love cooking here and enjoying our sweet Duck for the holiday.

We had a wonderful stay in Newport! The home was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The view was absolutely stunning — the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic stay.

Nice stay, easy booking and check-in, very clean. Top bunk had no rail, and only one TV was a smart TV. Not sure why we haven’t seen the return of the security deposit. It’s been two weeks and no word about that. Nice primary shower. Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub.

Thank you for the feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed this vacation rental home. In our discussion in the VRBO thread, we agreed (and discovered) you were never charged a deposit.
We loved staying here. The house is in an excellent location and very clean. The kids had so much fun at the tide pools minutes away. Thank you for a fun stay.

We appreciate how clean and comfortable this home was. Was very relaxing, which we liked.Though we had highly anticipated using the hot tub ( we are missing ours) it was not at all clean enough to get in.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Wish I would have known about the hot tub - it would have been corrected immediately.
We had a amazing stay. The view from the front room or the deck was the best. You look our over the ocean. You can hear the waves crashing. Nice quiet neighbors.

This house is beautiful and the lighthouse/ocean view is incredible. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. This is a great place to relax and really appreciate being alive. We have stayed here twice now and are hoping to do so again. Newport is a great little harbor town with many interesting things to do. The property is convenient to all activities, great restaurants, and shopping. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Our stay was fantastic and we can’t wait to come back!

The hot tub wasn’t clean. I wish there had been supplies available so we could clean it ourselves. It would have been helpful if the home came with provided more cleaning supplies, like a skimmer, pH balance brush, chemicals, a test kit, or a vacuum. Any of these tools would have allowed us to clean it and feel safer while using it.Both restrooms had a lot of cobwebs and spider webs. Additionally, the first restroom had some mouse droppings in the corner of the cabinet, indicating that it hadn’t been properly cleaned or swept. If it had been, they would have caught it, or perhaps there was a new mouse.I had messaged the property manager in advance to ask if the barbecue and hot tub would be cleaned because we have had problems in the past with renting homes that were always dirty. When we arrived at the home on Friday night it was later than expected. We had planned to barbecue, but it was so dirty that we decided to go out to eat instead. Because it would have been too late to clean the barbecue and prepare dinner. Which was very disappointing, especially since I had communicated my concerns to the property manager. The next day, my husband cleaned the barbecue because we had a guest arriving. He spent over an hour cleaning it.What I really loved about the home was the gorgeous view highlighted in the property listing.
