This home is as-advertised and that is all you can ask for We really enjoyed our stay. Views from the deck and porch are amazing. Sunset was spectacular. Fortescue is a very remote bayside village which is what we were looking for. Home is right on the water...the pictures the host show on the listing are very accurate. The beach area is a short walk/drive down the road. We stayed here over the Christmas holiday, and hope to come back when it is a bit warmer.

The Baycation Fortescue is an incredible getaway right on the Delaware Bay! As soon as you walk in, you feel right at home. The home is so cozy and welcoming.The views from the deck and balcony upstairs are breathtaking! There are chairs on both for you to sit, relax, and watch the sunset. I slept in the room that has the balcony off of it. The bed was super comfortable. There is a tv in the living room that has Hulu & Netflix, along with other apps on it. I only watched Hulu. The WiFi is really good.The host, Michael, was quick to respond if I had questions or needed anything. I highly recommend this beautiful home! I can’t wait to book again!Thank you, Mike & Jess, for allowing me and my fur baby (Gracie) to stay in your home!

Is there something we could have done to make it a 10/10. I thought we really made a lot of exceptions and communicated well
