AYLENS ESCAPE | FAMILY BEACH RETREAT NEAR BETHANY BEACH Sleeps 12 comfortably (up to 14) | 4 Bedrooms | 3.5 Bathrooms | Indoor & Outdoor Pools
Bring the whole crew. Aylens Escape was designed for large families and multi-family beach trips who want space to spread out, easy access to the beach, and plenty of activities for kids, including the indoor & outdoor pools.
Located in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood in Ocean View, the home is just minutes from several beach options including Bethany Beach. Families love that the playground sits right next to the home and kids can safely ride bikes or play outside.
One of the biggest perks of Aylen’s Escape is access to the beautiful community clubhouse, which includes indoor and outdoor pools overlooking the scenic bay, plus a game room with vintage arcade games, billiards, and ping pong.
For weekly stays, clubhouse and pool access is included at no extra cost.
For stays less than one week, the community requires a separate clubhouse access fee, which is based on the number of guests and days of use. If you’d like access during a shorter stay, just let us know and we’ll help you get everything set up.
Between beach days, pool time, and relaxing evenings together, Aylens Escape is designed to help families reconnect and create lasting vacation memories.

We had an amazing time here. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and the house was GORGEOUS! Plenty of space and the location was perfect. Highly recommend!!
This house was perfect for our family! Lots of space to spread out in. Location was great and the clubhouse amenities were a plus. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Great communication from the host.
And of course it was wonderful that we could bring our dog. We will be back!
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.
The property was clean, well-equiped, and large enough to accommodate our family group of three generations! We enjoyed our stay and wished we had booked for a longer period of time.
The highlight of our July stay was the pool with its amazing views of the bay. House was clean and super comfortable for two families and our dogs. Communication with owner was great. We loved it, again.
Our entire multigenerational family had a wonderful time at this property. The house was very clean, exactly as pictured, and well-appointed with everything we needed. The clubhouse amenities are fantastic, and Chris could not have been a more responsive and gracious host. We would not hesitate to come back!
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!
It was about 1 1/2 miles from Bethany Beach. The clubhouse was very nice for the whole family to use. It was very spacious and had plenty room for the whole family to spread out and it was 12 of us. The owner responded in a timely manner with any questions and concerns.
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!
Beautiful place with great location to the beach.
Clean and the owners have not forgotten a thing in the house. Pictures do not do the house justice. Will be back in the fall.
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. We were down the street from Bethany and Indian River beach, where we go every summer. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Don’t get me started on the jacuzzi in the master bedroom!
Thanks again for the amazing vacation!!!
Chris was a great host and very easy to communicate with. He allowed us to check in early and worked to get the property ready for us. He addressed any issues that came up such as a faulty toilet and sent someone to repair the issue. The property is near to many amenities and you have choice of beaches to go to. It’s not far from Bethany beach and boardwalk. The clubhouse amenities were great for families with kids. Overall great stay.
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!
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!!
Perfect for large families-amazing sunsets on the Bay
We love this community-and this house is beautiful. Several comfortable and separate TV/sitting areas on the main level with a view of a pond and fountain. 4 large bedrooms upstairs. Super clean and host was attentive and communicated quickly. Well stocked kitchen, with everything you’d need. Club house-a ten minute walk to the other section of the neighborhood-has a large outdoor pool with a view of the bay, indoor pool and fitness room, and game room-great for teens. Tennis, pickleball, a gazebo on the bay for sunsets and dog walks. A short drive-less then 10 minutes-to Bethany.
Large grocery store 2 blocks down the road. Nice biking trail within biking distance-or just nice to ride around the neighborhood. Quiet and safe. A great escape overall. We look forward to returning in July!!
