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.

From the time we walked into “The Eagle Nest” we were in awe. From the location, cleanliness, and view of the ocean to the sunrise and sunset. The host was always in communication with me and available if we needed them. This was a much needed peaceful getaway. Thanks again.

We had a fantastic 2-night stay! Great communication with the owners, they gave us so much information, responded quickly to any questions we had and were very personable. The house was beautiful, clean, and felt new and cozy at the same time. We had never been to Fortescue before, but we definitely plan on visiting again. A+++ hosts!!!

Quaint house and location

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.

Amazing stay all around

My family and I stayed at Eagles Nest when my son had a soccer tournament in Pittsgrove. I can not say enough about how nice the house is and how much thought the owners have put into stocking the house to make sure our every need or potential need was met. There was a gallon of milk and various creamers waiting for us when we arrived. Towels, beach chairs fishing poles, board games, clothes detergent...the list is long. I was explaining the hospitality we were receiving to another soccer parent and I was asked "are you staying with a friend?" The owner was always reachable even to ask where we should go to dinner. I highly recommend Eagles Nest to anyone.

Hidden gem!!

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. The peace and tranquility is unmatched, such an amazing location. The owner was very easy to communicate with and answered me almost instantly when I had any questions during our stay. 11/10, definitely recommend and will book here again!

Whirlwind weekend getaway. The house was very clean & neat. There were drinks, condiments, coffee supplies & the pumpkin bread was awesomeThe views from the house were amazing. This quaint little sleepy fishing community was the perfect place to sit on the beach and relax. Higbees restaurant had the best breakfast & was a perfect start of the day. Everyone was so friendly. Definitely plan to return.
