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.

* 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.

Scenic & Cozy
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.

Restful stay
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. Clean, comfortable and peaceful are just a few words to express our restful stay. My husband recently had knee replacement surgery and being close to the bay was such a relaxing time for him

The home was cleaner than the 4-star hotel I stayed at the night before. Communication with Jeffery was easy and replies were quick. The house was well stocked with necessities for cooking, laundry, a first aid kit, and even bug repellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and we are planning a return trip.

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.
