About this house rental
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.)
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.
Also included are a washer and dryer, Wifi and four flatscreen TVs with cable.
Visible from this home, is the historic Yaquina Head Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Oregon, first lit in 1873 and now open for tours. Walk through the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area to explore the tidepools and do some birdwatching. Or, catch a current movie at the Newport Cinema, less than a half-mile from your front door right across Hwy 101.
A rough path to the beach is located one block south (a steady foot may be required). Easier beach access is just two miles south to the Agate State Beach Recreation Site where you can walk along the beach or play in the water. Or, continue south to downtown Newport for the world-famous Oregon Coast Aquarium and fun attractions like Ripley's Believe It Or Not, The Wax Works, and the Oregon Undersea Gardens, all just four miles away along Newport's historic bay front.

We really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house. It's beautifully furnished and decorated, and very comfortable.
Quiet neighborhood, conveniently located. Nice to have the fireplace for the chilly weather we had. Spent time sitting on the deck and sketching the lighthouse view. We'd love to come back

We are a group of friends for over 50 years. Every year we pick a location to hang out, watch football and visit tourists locations.
We arrived at the Awesome house and found it to be Awesome. The view is to die for and the house was perfect. One level with a beautiful deck and fire pit. This house is everything you need for friends to hang out with. I definitely give it a 10.

The location was absolutely gorgeous with the lighthouse right out the window. The house had all the amenities, including a great selection of kitchen tools, glasses and dinnerware. Wi-Fi was fast and dependable. Everything was perfect. We hope that we get the opportunity to stay here again.

Great location, great view, beautiful home and the hot tub was an added bonus!
5.0 / 5.0
The property is as described and is roomy, relaxed, and clean. The beds are comfortable and rooms well-appointed. The location was so convenient and close to everything—minutes to the historic docks, Nye Beach, and the Aquarium. We spent time on the deck watching the sunsets and while there are nearby properties, the location felt private. The ocean and lighthouse views were spectacular. There was some landscaping service interruption for our last afternoon with quite a bit of work in the back area which had us change our plans a bit—perhaps check that schedule with the property manager if you are planning an outdoor/afternoon BBQ or other activities. The main bath had some slight (likely temporary) shower drainage time issues but the master bath was fantastic and we just showered there. We used the washer and dryer which was great— as were the appliances in general. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend this property.

We were very happy with Fort Awesome. The home was so comfortable in every way: living areas, beds, the deck with 4 great Adirondack chairs and hot tub. The family room looked like an afterthought in the pictures, but was actually very cozy and enjoyable after dark when your views were gone. During the day, my husband and two adult sons enjoyed hanging out in the kitchen, sitting in the living room, or chilling on the back deck looking out at the incredible views of the lighthouse, cliffs, ocean, and sunsets. We are from Georgia, and we love our air conditioning, and this A/C worked great! The location is perfect! It's close to Depoe Bay, several great viewing spots, Otter Rock and Devil's Punchbowl, the Yaquina Lighthouse Park, Newport Harbor, Nye Beach, great restaurants, and Seal Rock. The trail to the beach was a fun adventure, tight and steep, but worth the walk on the beach. This visit was everything I'd hoped it would be. I hope we get to return!

Had a ant problem on counters. Might need house sprayed. Also sheets had a stain on them in big king bed and the blankets in childrens room smelled of pee when we went to use them.

Very nicely remodeled home right on the bluffs above Agate Beach. The home has a well stocked kitchen for cooking Thanksgiving meal. The views were stunning - especially from the hot tub. A wonderful place for a family gathering. The owner was very responsive with the few questions that we had during our stay.

This is a wonderful property with spectacular views off the deck - the ocean, the lighthouse, and even whales! The beds and furniture were comfortable with lots of space in the home. The kitchen had everything you could need. The location is convenient to (driving) beach access, restaurants and stores. Highly recommend!

The owners call the property Fort Awesome. The view sitting above the ocean and close to a scenic lighthouse on a rocky point is breathtaking. House is clean, modern, functional and well equipped. Kitchen well stocked for cooking. Two living spaces. Great bedroom and bathrooms. Very pleased with our choice!

Beautiful property, stunning views. Even when the weather was stormy, this was a wonderful place to spend a long weekend with family. Hikes to the beach, card and board games, movie nights and watching and listening to the ocean kept us busy each day. We could either watch for whales from the cottage or head 10 miles up Highway 101 to Depoe Bay and watch while eating a burger and drinking a brew. The beds were comfortable and everything worked just great in the house. We had a great stay. Thank you.

The views were amazing. On line booking was easy, easy getting in the VRBO. It has just about every appliance and utensils you would ever need.

This house has gorgeous views. But this host doesn't deserve your business. Resolving our dispute over a damaged chair at this house has been a drawn out, expensive nightmare!
We had an accident with a single chair. We owe the damage deposit amount, yes. Any reasonable person would agree to that. But this host tried to get me to pay for a brand new set of 2 chairs. Even though we only damaged one that was worn out after a decade of use!
Communication was terrible. I ask numbered questions and she responds without direct answers. Instead, she explained how much brand new chairs cost and what it means to have features on a chair and continued to argue for me to pay for a new set of 2. I know a swiveling recliner is more expensive than a chair without added features--I'm not an idiot. I'm angry she's trying to distract me from the key issue here.
I should only be responsible for the value of the damaged chair at the time of the damage.
It's unjust she expected me to pay full price for new chair and a 2nd completely undamaged chair!
VRBO cant stop her from charging me, apparently. Luckily, involving the VRBO support did result in the host changing her request down to the value of just one new chair. And that is more reasonable but still robbery.
Tl;Dr: Stay with this host at your own risk. She has a history of requesting unjust things, taking advantage of you for her own gain. 0/10. Do not recommend.

"Ft. Awesome" is aptly named, as this was one of our favorite vacation rentals of all time, anywhere. From the incredible view, convenient location, and nice touches / upgrades throughout the home, this place has it all. Our family of five adults was very comfortable and we would visit again without hesitation.

Great home on a million dollar location! Beautiful house set above a cliff overlooking the Pacific. Even though it rained for most of the time we were there, we had great views of the storms while we stayed warm inside.

We loved the house! The view was fantastic, great hot tub and everything about the interior was perfect for our couples getaway. We even found the secret path to the beach!

Our family rented Fort Awesome for four nights and everything about the property was exactly as advertised. The property manager, Bridgett, was easy to communicate with and check-in was a snap.
We watched whales from the deck one full afternoon and cooked s’mores that evening over the fire pit.
We will definitely return.
