Welcome to Fortescue Beach, a hidden gem tucked along the Delaware Bay where life moves slower and sunsets steal the show. This charming bayshore cottage was completely rehabbed in 2022—from the roof down— offering peace of mind and modern comfort while preserving its coastal character. Thoughtfully updated and offered with select furnishings, this home is truly turnkey—ideal as a weekend escape, personal retreat, or income-producing short-term rental. Just unpack and start enjoying. Walk to the beach and marina, spend your days fishing, crabbing, boating, or simply soaking in the bay breeze—and best of all, skip the shore traffic entirely. If you’ve been dreaming of a place where mornings are quiet, neighbors wave, and evenings end with breathtaking bay sunsets, this is it. Fortescue isn’t just a destination—it’s a lifestyle. Nothing to do here but arrive… and stay awhile. *Shed being removed prior to closing. ***Best and final due Monday 3/2/26 at 6:00pm.
