Tucked away in the ‘picturesque’ Fortescue, NJ is a hidden coastal gem perfect for nature lovers, anglers, and anyone craving peace and quiet by the water. Known as the “weakfish capital of the world’ and famous for its laid-back vibe, epic fishing spots, and birdwatching along the nearby Heislerville Wildlife Management Area, this place is nothing short of a ‘treasure find’ in Jersey. With only a short stroll from The Charlesworth Restaurant, a local favorite for fresh seafood and waterfront dining, and close to the Sea Chest Gift Shop for beachy souvenirs. If you’re feeling some outdoor thrill, the Turkey Point and Fortescue Beach access areas offer prime activities (but not limited to!): kayaking, boating, and crabbing opportunities. Whether you’re just out and about exploring nearby Delaware Bay beaches, hiking through salt marsh trails, or launching your boat from the local marina, Fortescue serves up classic small-town charm with unbeatable water access, which makes it a top pick for a New Jersey waterfront vacation home or short-term rental. The biggest catch? For only $280k, you can own a fully renovated 2-bed, 1.5-bath bayfront cottage right in the heart of it. This cozy 584 sq ft home features knotty pine walls, a charming open living area with panoramic bay views, a clawfoot soaking tub, a stylish kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, plus a screened porch and a huge 20×26 deck overlooking your very own 30 feet of private Delaware Bay frontage. The home also includes new HVAC, plumbing, insulation, and electrical, all updated in 2021, and comes fully furnished so it’s ready for immediate enjoyment or rental.
