Excellent 2nd stay!

This was our 2nd stay and it did not disappoint. Cute, comfortable, beautiful sunrises and quiet community. Our pup loved the beach that was just a short walk away. The cottage itself is so quaint and well equipped with whatever you need.

Very cute and comfortable cottage! We enjoyed our stay and appreciated all of the extras like keurig pods, shampoo, etc. We also enjoyed the one restaurant in town, the Charlesworth, with its delightful owner and excellent seafood, and walking on the beach with horseshoe crabs. We look forward to a future visit.

A little beach vacation

We enjoyed this little house in a little fishing village! It's a cute and well-stocked property, very comfortable for 2 people and 2 dogs. While we didn't get around to utilizing the back yard much, there was a nice fire pit area! There is a little beach down at one end of town, however during our time there (end of June) there were SO many horseflies! This definitely isn't a knock against the house and property, but just a note about the area and time of year. We couldn't spend anytime outside at the beach without getting swarmed and eaten up, so we drove to Wildwood Beach instead. But Fortescue is a cute town with a nice marina area, you can charter a fishing boat and get a cool experience there!

We traveled as two couples for a short fishing trip. We absolutely loved the house and we met the host, (great guy), while we were surf fishing. The house was stocked with everything we could need. We plan to return.
