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.

Peaceful Getaway

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.

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.

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.

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.
