* 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.

We enjoyed a lovely, quiet getaway at Jeff and Melanie's home. Everything was clean and decorated so nicely! Great view from the balcony and loved walking just a short distance to the beach to hunt for sea glass (which we found a lot of). Perfect spot for a few days of rest and relaxation!

For an exceptional quiet, clean, and comfortable stay in Fortescue, Eagles Nest is a great place. The kind hospitality of the owners/Lamberts fills the visit. A beach on the Delaware Bay and marina are a stone's throw from the Nest. Enjoyable in every way.

This was by far our FAVORITE place we’ve stayed at. No words can describe the communication and hospitality the host displayed. He was beyond accommodating, and provided a cozy, comfy property with breathtaking views in a small town with such friendly neighbors!

Roof deck off the great room with view of the whole wide world.Host is affable and concerned with your needs and your comfort....leaving a glowing, positive review with the fear that this rental and beautiful area will get discovered and become so popular that reservations will become too competitive and difficult... for now, it's still possible to snag a piece of this slice of heaven on Earth.

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!

What an incredible stay! Every image was 100% accurate. The house was immaculate and the town was quaint and rustic-exactly the type of peace and quiet that we needed. Even the locals were so warm and friendly. Highly recommend the local restaurant at the end of the island, The Charlesworth!! I fully intend to stay here again soon!
