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.)

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.

Beautiful house and view.
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

Fun times at the Awesome House.
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.

Fort Awesome!
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.

Couldn't have been better!
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!

Beautifully remodeled coastal home
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.
