About this property

Historic Fort Steven Officers Quarters

This Historic Fort Stevens officer’s quarters, built in 1905, is bursting with character, from the charming front porch and original fir floors to the ornate tin ceilings and crystal chandeliers. A quick drive, or short bike ride on trails, will take you into Fort Stevens State Park, a 3,700 acre park with miles of ocean and river beaches, scenic hiking and biking trails, and a beautiful lake. The house is a two hour drive from Portland and a little over three hours from Seattle.

The space
Walk through the door of the Historic Officer's Quarters and step back in time. This house was built by the military in 1905 to house the officers and their families for the adjacent Fort Stevens military base. It is filled with fir floors, tin ceilings, chandeliers, and a grand entry staircase. The expansive front porch is a wonderful place to relax while looking out at the surrounding historic homes, and the original marching grounds that are now a city park. This is the perfect home base to explore the history and natural beauty of the Oregon Coast. We have an outdoor shed with beach toys, outdoor games, and bikes for riding the trails to the beach.

Things to note:
1. We have lovingly restored this historic home. It is the ideal place to take your family, or have an intimate get-together with a few friends, but it is not a party house. We are very strict about the 6 person maximum occupancy.

2. There is parking for 3 mid-sized cars at the house. We unfortunately don't have parking available for boat trailers or RVs. A few miles from the house is the Hammond Marina. Boats can be launched there and parking is available for boat trailers.

3. Our house is a strict no smoking house. Please do not book our home if you are a smoker. Please do not smoke anywhere on the property, including the front porch. Thank you!

4. We do not allow pets of any kind to stay at our home. The fir floors are very soft and dog claws can easily scratch them. Many people are very sensitive to animal hair and we want our home to be a safe place for all to stay.

5. We ask that you do not wear shoes in the house. We have places to leave your shoes by both doors. Please bring your slippers.

6. The house is a side-by-side duplex. There are shared walls. Please be respectful of your noise level. There are separate seating areas for each side of the duplex on the front porch. Please do not take furniture from the side of the duplex you are not staying on, that furniture is for other guests to enjoy.

Pros and Cons

Interesting accomodations. Lovely, clean home. Bring your own coffee, tea, shampoo and soap. All 3 bedrooms are located upstairs, which made it hard for my husband. That's the only reason I would not stay again.

Bringing in the New Year

We were three couples in our 60s-70s celebrating the New Year. I thought the house was perfect for us — immaculately clean, serene and uncluttered. We didn’t avail ourselves of the bicycles but some of us enjoyed a long walk on the Fort Stevens grounds. My only complaint was no ESPN to watch the Rose Bowl, remedied by finding a sports bar in Astoria.

Thanksgiving Delight

Kitchen had everything we needed. The house was spacious. My only suggestion is to have a footstool in the kitchen as I am short in stature and could not reach the second shelves of the cupboard. The bed was comfortable. It would be nice if one of the bedrooms had a king. The Fort was fun to explore.It is a great home for a family. Not much in Hammond but Astoria is a short drive.

Great place to stay!

This is an absolutely charming old house, fun to stay in (in part) because it is just so gorgeous! Wood floors; high ceilings with decorative tile, chandeliers, and architectural molding; a lovely kitchen; and a big front porch all made my friends and I feel like we were treating ourselves to something special and unique. It was immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable. The host was easy to communicate with, and very nice. My friends and I came because we wanted a nice place to stay while we attended the FisherPoets gathering in Astoria, which was just an easy 20-minute drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

Charming and Clean vacation house

Our stay in Hammond was lovely. The house was beautiful, well cared for and pristine. There were many cozy spots to relax in the living room, and on the large porch and front yard. The kitchen was fully stocked and there is a large dining room and a table out front where we ate all our meals.The owners included a shed with bikes for riding the many bike trails around Fort Stevens Park. The home is a short drive or bike ride from the beaches at Fort Stevens. I was pleasantly surprised that the beaches weren't crowded at all even though it was a beautiful summer weekend.

Perfect History

My family and I feel very fortunate with having spent time in this residence. It was very clean, nicely furnished, wonderfully restored, and the loving attention to details was apparent. We, four adults, felt very comfortable in this home and everything was set up to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Family fishing trip

Beautiful renovated historic home. We had a great time and lots of room. My only complaint is bathrooms in rentals that have no counter space. But keeping the historic charm might be why they went with sinks without any room to put your stuff. Other than that, it was nice.

Excellent and Historic

A superb home, filled with character and history. Lovely, simple furnishings and a great, well appointed kitchen. A huge space with room to spread out. Great books, games and care given to this homes historic origins. Had it not rained, we would have taken advantage of the bikes! Great proximity to Fort Stevens, beach, ship wreck, jetties, bird watching, Astoria and so much more. Hard to ask for, want or need anything else -- and what a bonus to have a herd of elk walk across the park each morning! Host was super easy to work with, kind and thorough. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and really appreciate the personal touch, impeccable cleanliness, clear instructions and care owners provide. This one was superb from start to finish.

Great Place for Family!

We loved this house -- exactly as described and the only bike friendly (actual paths) area on the Oregon coast that I know of. Having a playground out the front window was great for the kids. The only thing I might add is curtains or black out shades for the windows. Super friendly hosts -- and this is a great house without a rental company go-between.

Perfect house in the most charming neighborhood

My 12 year old daughter and I took a road trip from California to reconnect with my college friends and for my daughter to finally meet her pen-pal (my college best friends daughter). We loved the front porch - coffee each morning with the sunrise and cocktails as the sun set and the fog rolled in. We ate breakfast there every morning, and had so many hours of talking and reminiscing. The porch just lends for the perfect location to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The kids played at the park and rode their bikes around the neighborhood. The house was the perfect size - actually way more than we needed, but it was charming and perfect in every way! The kitchen had everything we needed to to prep our meals and was perfect size for all of us to gather around cooking and chatting. We loved the neighborhood - another house across the park is also a VRBO and had a large family gathering. It was so much fun to sit on the porch and listen to them laugh, sing and have fun - we even joined in on the singing from across the way. Having the park in the middle of the neighborhood made it feel like we were all one big family! Bob (the neighbor who helps manage and clean the house) and Andrew, one of the owners are great at communication and making sure that we had everything we needed. ...Bob even came to check on us after we had a run-in with a bat who wanted to join our get together! I would stay at this house again in a heartbeat!

Historic house by the beach

This was our second visit to this property because we enjoyed it so much the first time. It is a great location for those who love to be outdoors, close to the beach, and right next to Fort Stevens for lots of walking, biking and other outdoor activities. The house is beautiful and quiet. We'd go back a third time!

House Worked Well For Us

The house worked very well for the five of us. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen is great and has all the necessary utensiles. The appliances are top of the line. The bathroom on the ground level behind the kitchen is a long way from the bedrooms which are all upstairs. The furniture in the rooms is adequate, but rather sparse. The lighting is limited - there is no lighting in the living room except the ceiling fixture. We spent enjoyable late afternoons relaxing on the east facing veranda. The house is currently very good - it could be exceptioanal with some additional decorating.

Beautifully updated

This was perfect for our family of 4 adults and a 4-year old while we visited the beach, Fort Stevens, and the Astoria area. The kitchen was quite well supplied, there were fabulous toys, games and books, and everything worked well. We loved the creaky original staircase and the 12 foot ceilings - such a grand old house that was super-clean and well maintained!

Family fun at Fort Stevens

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property! We were lucky to have a chance to meet Andrew the owner and get advice on ways to enjoy the area. While I dont recall the playground described in the post, my 2 and 5 year old grandkids were thrilled that this was so close. Seaside and Astoria were very accessible but this was also a perfect spot to relax! Thanks for the attention to detail!

Adorable Historical Duplex

This is a very cute, updated and comfortable place to stay. Love the location, there is a park right across the street and you feel like you're somewhat secluded from the busy town of Astoria, but then just a few minutes drive to a couple of local restaurants and a convenience store. Remi was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for all your kindness :-) If you love pink like I do this is your place! There are 2 pink exterior doors, sooo sweet. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to visit the Astoria area. Note to future renters, the downstairs bathroom light above the sink turns on by a small silver switch in the middle of the light fixture. No need to bother Remi or Bob asking where the light bulbs are, haha!
