The fully stocked kitchen includes everything you need, from pots and pans to a coffee bar with multiple brewing options, ensuring everyone’s morning routine is covered.

After breakfast, pack up the beach gear—including chairs, umbrellas, and a beach cart conveniently stored in the garage—and head out to the nearby Bethany Beach Boardwalk (just 5 minutes away) or the famous Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, known for its shops, restaurants, and the classic Funland amusement park.

The second living area provides a quiet space for reading, conversations, or simply enjoying some downtime.

The screened patio isn’t just for evenings—it’s a wonderful spot for mornings too. Sip a fresh cup of pour-over coffee while enjoying the tranquil view, or bring out a board game to enjoy the cool coastal breeze. If you're looking for more activity, take a walk along the dog-friendly neighborhood trails, which lead to the clubhouse and bay.

We’ve stayed in this development before and love the amenities, particularly the tennis and pickleball courts! Our host was very responsive and accommodating—Aylen’s Escape had everything we needed! I would suggest storing the outdoor cushions somewhere that will keep them dry—we couldn’t really use the porch and wanted to, and we couldn’t figure out how to get the stringed lights to work. We would have loved to spend more time in that space. Otherwise, our stay was enjoyable and we would definitely rent again!

Wonderful neighborhood, clubhouse, and short drive to beaches

We loved our week in Bayside at Bethany Lakes. Very walkable community with ponds, fountains, dog friendly walkways, sunset deck, and clubhouse. We loved the outdoor pool in the evening especially because it overlooked the bay at sunset We also had fun using the pickleball courts and game room. The house was roomy for our three families. Plenty of bathrooms, big dining table for us all, and a cute screened in porch for morning coffee time. This house is just a few minutes drive to Bethany Beach and under 10 minutes to Fenwick island state Park which we enjoyed a few times as well. The owner has thought of everything: dog bowls, box fans for warm nights, garbage bags, dishwasher tabs, coffee filters, hand soap, etc. And owner is responsive as well and checks in during your stay. We would definitely stay again at Aylen's place!

Spacious, well equipped home

I did a lot of cooking and this kitchen had everything I needed. Lots of seating for two families and plenty of room to spread out. The layout is particularly good if you are trying to get away from 'kid noise' as there are many little nooks and crannies to grab a book and escape to. The furniture is very comfortable and the bedrooms are roomy. The screened-in porch is a nice place for people to run off to and be on their own.

Perfect Family holiday

The property is more beautiful than the online description. It has everything a family needs, the kitchen is well stocked and enjoyable to cook in - additionally, the house, rooms and bathrooms are spacious and the beds are super comfortable. The property is around the corner from a grocery story and is 5 minutes ride to the center of Bethany and the beach. We had an amazing vacation!

Lovely, large, well appointed home, close driving distance to everything. Community is quiet, with plenty of walking routes, a club house with many amenities including an indoor and outdoor pool for when you need a break from the beach. The house has large TVs and very comfy couches. No cable, so bring your subscription passwords : ) Chris is very responsive and helpful with any questions. Overall, a very lovely home that we would visit again.

Outstanding rental. Positives include - - Fantastic space. Tons of room. Well appointed and decorated. Very, very comfortable. - Amenities galore. The unit itself (smart tvs, more than ample kitchen, beach supplies in the garage…. And lots more). Plus the community amenities. The clubhouse is awesome (two pools, hot tub, game room, fitness room), and we used it every day. - Beach access. We were six minutes from everything, including the 5th St Beach, which was our favorite. - Dog friendly. This was huge for us, as we really wanted to bring Charlie. He loved it, too. - Hosts. Chris was extremely responsive and nice. We will be back!!

We did not expect this place to be so big and so comfortable. We had literally everything we needed to have a comfortable vacation. The pool was close by along with a 2 game rooms and a gym.
