Please note ... Eagles Nest is surrounded by wetlands and the Delaware Bay across the street. Never leave children unattended at any time outside on the deck or near the bay. Do not allow anyone to hang on, sit on, jump from, or climb over deck railings.
Absolutely no running, jumping, or horseplay of any kind on decks.

* Greenhead flies are a pest around the waterfront areas of Fortescue from mid-June thru late July. We recommend bringing bug spray and wearing as much white as possible, as greenheads only can see darker colors. They are also attracted to the heat of your vehicle so driving around can be quite unpleasant during these few weeks of the summer. But with the proper awareness and precautions, we have had countless guests enjoy all that Fortescue has to offer, even the beach, during these weeks. Some small children could have a hard time being outside in daylight hours during the greenhead season.

This is my second stay at this place and for good reason, it's tidy, the host is helpful and understanding and it's a short walk to the shore. The home is clean and comes with ample linens. The host was accommodating and able to help us when we had a concern about arrival time. Amenities were as listed and photos provided were accurate. I will be back here next year it's a great property at a great location perfect for board gaming and going to the shore with friends.

Yikes
Big note: There is a cool old grandfather clock that dings loudly every hour from 4am to 11pm. If you have small children that will wake from this beware. Also NO TV IN THE LIVING ROOM. Our stay was in winter time so it was too cold to go to the beach so stuck inside a lot. This is great for a romantic get away but not if you have 3 bored kids. The coffee maker was literally taped together as well. So hope you enjoy no sleep and no coffee.Property was clean and the beach was nice. Property owner asked for cash for an extra night (which I appreciated) and I paid via Zelle which they take. Now while I'm driving home they are texting me complaining about finding a remote and a fly swatter which they found and glass (which I apologize a plate broke and I cleaned it. I have no problem paying you more on Zelle for the plate.) Overall feeling annoyed and just want to go home.

Eagles nest was a wonderful experience. The owners Jeff and Melanie were awesome hosts. They had everything possible to make your stay feel like home. Clean, comfortable and peaceful are just a few words to express our restful stay. My husband recently had knee replacement surgery and being close to the bay was such a relaxing time for him

Eagles nest is the best!!
100% recommend staying at this property. Impeccably clean and so many amenities come included- bath towels, shampoo, soap, beach towels, beach chairs, linens, brand new milk and coffee creamer, homemade pumpkin bread- really the only thing you need is clothes and groceries for meals and you are set. A two minute walk away from a beautiful bay beach where we watched the sunset both nights. My seven year old said she had more fun here than at the Jersey shore beaches. Everyone in the neighborhood is so friendly. Host is the best I’ve ever communicated with- there was a coastal flood warning while we were there and he made sure to call me to inform us of the situation. Also gave a ton of recommendations of places to eat and what to do in the area. Can’t WAIT to go back!!

The home was cleaner than the 4-star hotel I stayed at the night before. Communication with Jeffery was easy and replies were quick. The house was well stocked with necessities for cooking, laundry, a first aid kit, and even bug repellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and we are planning a return trip.

A small quiet fishing town with breathtaking sunset view
We enjoyed our stay in Jeff and Melanie's property. Sipping a cup of hot tea during sunset from the patio, or stroking along the beach at nights were very relaxing. Fishing around the jetty and crabbing at the wood bridge at the south end of the beach provided some excitements. Make sure you wear DEED insect repellent if you go out early morning or late night, particularly when there is no wind as there could be numerous gnats attacking your exposed face, hand and feet. Overall it was a different experience for us with some wonderful memories.

The living space was very nice and relaxing. The deck was also lovely. Unfortunately when we visited the flies were very heavy in the area so we didn't get to enjoy the beach nearby. If not for that it would have been a great location for us.

This place was absolutely wonderful. Extremely clean, beautiful furnishings and very well updated. Sitting out on the balcony after a long day at the beach or out on the town watching the breathtaking sunset over the water was honestly my favorite part.

My husband and I were looking for a quick trip with the kids for July 4th. The home is well-appointed with all the necessities and more. The views are gorgeous and the house is nicely updated. It is a short walk from a quiet beach. The area is far removed from the typical Jersey Shore scene and is very quiet and serene. You’ll need to do all your shopping ahead of time bc there are no stores close by. If you’re looking for some down time to enjoy family/friends in nature, this is your place. Owners very helpful, responsive, and accommodating.

Wonderful summer stay with nature-loving kids
My two elementary-aged kids and mother had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, warm home in the rustic NJ coastal gem of a town. The hosts went above and beyond to provide us with information for our planning well before arrival and throughout our stay. The property is a short walk to the Fortescue beach, with its amazing sunsets, turtles and horseshoe crabs (May-June), which amazed the kids. The home is so nicely decorated with nautical touches. I can't say enough about how enjoyable the whole experience was for all of us, young and older.
