* 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.

Kitchen/living great room set-up beautiful, all new island with seating, dining table area. Roof deck off the great room with view of the whole wide world.Host is affable and concerned with your needs and your comfort....leaving a glowing, positive review with the fear that this rental and beautiful area will get discovered and become so popular that reservations will become too competitive and difficult... for now, it's still possible to snag a piece of this slice of heaven on Earth.

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!

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.

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!!!
