Scarborough Inn

Welcome to the Scarborough Inn – a Bed & Breakfast that is approachably elegant.

Experience the true luxury of a haven designed to sooth your senses and appeal to your appreciation for beauty and comfort. With individually decorated rooms featuring lovely fabrics and furnishings plus the perfect mix of modern amenities, each guest room pays gentle homage to a love of the seasonal flowers & plants that circle this historic inn.

Revel in the true luxury of space as you enjoy the many options for rest and relaxation or enjoy the friendliness of the international staff and the convivial conversation of fellow guests. Settle into a rocker on the 100-foot wraparound porch, or nestle in front of the fireplace on chilly autumn afternoons in the double living room. Enjoy a book in the cozy library, perhaps a game or the guest computer in the top floor Sojourn room – where you’ll catch a glimpse of the ocean.

Awake to the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and take breakfast in the comfortable dining room or outdoors, if you choose, when the weather is balmy. Enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients and plentiful options for healthy eating or more indulgent culinary creations. Later, sweet and savory selections tempt during Afternoon Refreshments.

Enjoy the true luxury of a location that places you within easy walking distance of the beach, boardwalk, recreation, restaurants, and main street shopping as you settle into our Historic District neighborhood. Park your car on our adjacent lot and stroll or bike around the island at your leisure or enjoy historical, cultural, or culinary day trips throughout the area – we’ll be happy to help you plan interesting excursions or relaxing experiences.

Come to the Scarborough Inn B&B – not just a room… an experience.

Photo Album

Gather here for a quiet chat, to thumb through current magazines, or to enjoy early morning coffee or tea. Family portraits and personal mementos throughout the room and the Scarborough Inn photo album all add warmth and personality to this welcoming room.#26 Sherwood - King Suite, DVD, Melitta Coffee Machine, Guest Robes.
Aurora - Like the dawning of a beautiful day, this room is awash in gentle colors on coordinating prints – pastel yellow and pink, sky blue and white like billowy clouds. Rich wood tones on the carved headboard, bedside tables, and antique dresser add traditional elegance and a crystal chandelier adds a touch of romance. Two armchairs and a circular table provide a comfortable nook for reading or morning coffee in this lovely sun-drenched room.Chelsea- An intricately hand-tied string canopy tops the oak pencil post bed dressed with an elegant duvet in shades of peach, blue and parchment. A peach chenille bedskirt and shams plus a variety of pillows complete the soothing, coordinated look. A spacious sitting area features a love seat, plus a table and chairs near bay windows that overlook the courtyard garden with Roman-style fountain. DVD/VCR.
A striking impressionistic print featuring jewel-toned flowers on a black background dresses the bed, padded headboard, and drapes. Two armchairs and hand-stenciled armoire add comfort and beauty to this romantic room. Cable TV with DVD/VCR.Palma - Std Queen - A lush and colorful print on dramatic black background creates the exotic mood in this striking tropically-themed oasis. Graceful palms on pillows, prints, lamps, and accessories complement the theme.
Enjoy the delights of a "secret garden" in this flower-bedecked bower! The graceful spindle bed features a woven matelasse comforter embellished with an elegant floral in shades of soft peach, celery, rose and parchment. Bullion fringe and a delicate pleated and ruffled sheer bed skirt complete the romantic look. A garden style bistro set adds a touch of whimsy.Watch the world go by or engage in convivial conversation with friends or new acquaintances on our spacious 100-foot wraparound porch. This is also the perfect spot to enjoy afternoon refreshments. How about some Blueberry Buckle and iced lemonade?
