Eagles Nest

Come see why everyone rates us five stars!! You'll find yourself delighted to spend some time on the beautiful Delaware Bayfront off the grid in our beautiful and newly renovated cozy home! Just minutes from the popular NJ Motorsports Park in Millville, Fortescue is a small fishing village on the picturesque Delaware Bay that has a postcard-like ambiance that you will find incredibly relaxing and perfect for a getaway! Once known as the weakfish capital of the world, Fortescue is famous for it's beautiful beaches, party boat fishing, crabbing, world-famous birdwatching, and it's also a photographer's paradise. Just minutes away from Bivalve, where there are museums and NJ's working tall ship, the AJ Meerwald. There is also seasonal sightseeing and eagle watching for all. Take a special birdwatching and sightseeing tour with captain Dave aboard Maurice River Cruises. This home will not disappoint any photographer as well with the views from the front and back of the property on the surrounding wetlands that expand as far as the eye can see and is perfect for sunset and sunrise photos! This amazing home has three gorgeous bedrooms, brand new full bath and laundry, new kitchen, living, and dining room! Make this your new special getaway place year after year!

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.

June 19th to August 5th (Give or take a few days)
* 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.

I can’t say enough good things about this stay. Truly one of my best experiences through VRBO and others. Everything was PERFECT! We loved it and wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were so helpful and kind. The views were beautiful, and the home was immaculate. It was quiet and peaceful. My daughter who is 7 months old actually enjoyed the grandfather clock lol. :) we can’t wait to come back when we have another race weekend. Thank you again for a cozy stay Jeffrey and Melanie!

What a lovely place! The setting is so unusual and inspiring, right between the seemingly endless marshes on one side and Delaware Bay on the other. The house itself as neat as a pin, with everything fresh and well-organized. Perfect as a a base for exploring local history and local nature or just for slowing down from the busy world. Redwing blackbirds call from the reeds, gulls arc above the bay, and we did see one bald eagle a bit inland on the Fortescue road. Along the Bay, there's a long, long clean stretch of sand for walking and ruminating.

Amazing location: you can look out on the water at the front and watch the sun rise over the wetlands from the bedrooms. Beach is nearby The house is very comfortable, everything seems new and there are lots of amenities and attention to details. It was clear the hosts want to make sure you have everything you need and have a good stay. Jeffrey was very nice and great with communication. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

If you're looking for a vacation to completely unwind and unplug, this is the place for you. The home and surrounding countryside is gorgeous and oh so peaceful. We went to an arts and craft festival in Greenwich which is a lovely little town and worth the drive. There's an incredible Indian restaurant in Milville, loved it. There's the cutest little shop not far from the house (near the local seafood restaurant) that has an artsy vibe and is filled with merchandise from mostly local artists. I could go on and on, we loved it so much. The biggest bonus is the beach is loaded with seaglass, woohoo! We can't wait to go back!!!
Stunning sunset
We did a tribute to our mothers who both recently passed from dementia. Right after, we found this heart in the sand. What a wonderful sign to know they were right there with us!

The hosts provided great info before we traveled which was great. We very much enjoyed our stay. It felt like staying at a friend's place with the right amount of personal touches. As the hosts told us, be prepared to prepare your own meals if off season and not on a weekend. We brought our food/drinks from home/grocery store. The hosts even had coffee, tea and milk stocked for us. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals and clean up. The bedroom was quiet and comfortable. The view from the living room and deck was so relaxing. We loved the tidal clock on the wall to help us time our quick short walk down the street to the beach. We enjoyed walking the beach in the morning and in the evening for sunset.

What a beautiful and super clean home. Communication with the host made everything more enjoyable and pleasant. Host thought of everything possible that we could need and then some. The rooms were beautifully decorated and looked like right out of a magazine. There were extra blankets and pillows in every room. The kitchen and bathroom has everything you need. It was such a pleasure to relax in this home. If you want to fish or crab, they are kind enough to lend you their fishing and crabbing gear. So close to beach and marina. Neighbors were very nice. Everything was perfection. Definitely our new favorite vacation location. 10 is not good enough. We give it a 10
