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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Everything was great! If you are looking for a place on the bay with a great view, very quiet, extremely clean and well stocked, comfortable, easy access to bay beaches, fishing and bird watching...The list goes on. HIGHLY recommended. In our travels up and down the east coast renting homes this is easily in the top three we have ever stayed at. We have been doing this for twenty years.You will not regret staying here.

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.

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.

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

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.

Jeff was great in his communication, tips, advice, and local information that he shared with us prior to our check-in. This was very helpful, and I only wish we had more time to have explored the area more, but we were taking a weekend course at Wheaton Arts. The home was just as pictured, well stocked, tastefully decorated, and everything was really wonderful. Perfect for the girls' weekend that we had! Will definitely return.

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.
