This was my second time staying at the Scarborough Inn and it, once again, exceeded my expectations!! I appreciated knowing that I would get a clean room. The breakfast buffet had healthy options, and the cook was very accomodating to our food allergy. I will definitely stay there again!!

The Scarborough Inn is reliably clean & comfortable. Importantly, they 'go the extra mile' to give you value - items rarely included in other inns, such as parking, internet access, DVDs and videos, afternoon snacks, are all part of the package. Every room I've stayed in (for 20 years now!) has been large, clean, well furnished - and well appointed. Best of all the staff are friendly and helpful and your a 5 minute walk from the beach, bike rentals, restaurants and shops. The Scarborough is definitely one of my "favorite things" about OCNJ!! Many thanks for maintaining a superior inn.

My wife and I have stayed at this Inn several times and find remarkable the attention to detail for the comfort of its residences. The rooms are beautiful and access to amenities easy. The location provides great walking access to the Ocean City Boardwalk and the downtown with free parking adjacent to the Inn. Staff go out of their way to be helpful. Breakfasts are extraordinary in terms of nutrition, taste and freshness. We will be going back on a regular basis.

This Inn was recommended by a friend, and it exceeded my expectations. Although the rooms are on the small side, they are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The highlight of this B&B has to be the food and the location. Every morning the staff created something different for breakfast and it was spectaculor! No basic bacon and eggs here. One morning it was a frittata and fresh fruit, the next it was a peach and custard creation that left me wanting more. The wait staff was very pleasant and attentive. This B&B is located less than 2 blocks from the beach -- the perfect location and offers beach tags for a deposit, which is refunded when you return the tags. I plan on staying here whenever I go to Ocean City.

Our daughter gave us a B&B Gift Certificate for Christmas and I looked through all of the B&B's in Ocean City, NJ and decided on this one. I'm glad that we did. EVERYONE was so friendly and helpful. They allow you to keep the beach pass for a few extra hours and your car in their parking lot until noon and also to use the facilities before and after check-in/out. Everything was clean, the food was great (wonderful Belgium waffles and a Melitta coffee maker at your disposal at any time). Lots of little "extras"....wireless service, a room with a fridge to keep food in, the Melitta coffee, and snacks available in the afternoon. ALL within easy walking distance of the boardwalk. Highly recommend this one.

I treated my in-laws to a vacation of R & R with my family. It was a great success. My in-laws had a very peaceful get-away and my children experienced fun in the sun on the beach & boardwalk. Scarborough's added the icing on the cake with great service, kind staff, and excellent rooms. I plan to visit them next year.

The Scarborough Inn is a great place to stay when visiting Ocean City because it's only a couple of blocks from the boardwalk but is reasonably priced. It's an older place, yet it has a homey feel. Our room was a bit small, but it had everything we needed. For those who don't travel with laptops, there is a house computer in the game room on the top floor so all guests can have Internet access. The wrap-around front porch, with about a dozen rocking chairs, is a great place for those wanting a little quiet time. With Atlantic City roughly 10 miles to the north and Cape May about 35 miles to the south, there is plenty to do and see in the area. While the Scarborough isn't spectacular in any way, it's a very enjoyable place and my wife and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

We spent two nights at this lovely inn. the friendliness of the staff was the first indication of how wonderful this lodging is. The decor is absolutely beautiful. The location is convenient to the beach and boardwalk and the main shopping hub of Asbury Avenue. It is also within walking distance of many restaurants. Every detail of Scarborough is lovely from the flowers surrounding the building to the living room to the rooms themselves. The icing on the cake was the extra distance the owners went in surprising me with a birthday cake in my room upon retiring. This was a true jewel.

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?
