“The Best Inn on the Jersey Shore”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

My husband found Scarborough Inn a few years ago, and we fell in love with it. It has that perfect combination of old-time ambiance and modern convenience. For someone like me who grew up vacationing at the shore, returning to The Scarborough Inn is like going home.

It has a big wraparound porch with low hanging awnings and rockers lined up to catch the cool morning breeze, and it’s a great place to end the day, preferably with an ice cream cone from the shop up the street.

There are several types of rooms, and a studio apartment. The included breakfast and afternoon tea are always surprising delights of gourmet food, and everyone at Scarborough is friendly and helpful. By the way, if you’ve only got a day or two to spend in Ocean City, check out their website availability chart. If there’s a gap between reservations, they may be able to fit you in. I’ve done this. The Procrastinator’s Special is great, too. Reserve within 24 hours and save 20%.

The inn is only two blocks from the boardwalk and beach, and one block from the bike rental shop. You don’t have to drive unless you want to visit another town, so park your car in the inn’s off-street parking and “forget about it”.

But, that’s the only thing you’ll want to forget as you create warm and wonderful memories at the best inn on the Jersey Shore.

“It's Like Going Home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

Just spent another lovely, long weekend at the Scarborough Inn. We always feel like yelling, "We're home!" when we walk into the lobby. Gus, Carol, Jenn, Linda, Jane, and Marie always welcome us when we return. It's lovely to get to know all the foreign students who come to the US to work there over the summer. They are always very interesting.
We've tried many of the rooms over the years. They are all different and lovely, all air conditioned and have their own bathrooms.
We had a rainy day, so we spent some extra time sitting in the cozy lobby reading our books and on the rockers on the lovely front porch.
Rainy days, not to worry---a short three blocks or so and there's great shopping on Asbury.
Breakfasts are always a pleasant surprise and so nicely presented and afternoon "teatime" always brings tasty snacks which we enjoy.
The beach is just a very short walk and beach tags are provided.
Try the Scarborough Inn. It's a lovely bed and breakfast experience that you won't forget.

“wonderful B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

We've been back to this B&B several times and are never disappointed. They are very customer focused and always attuned to changes or trying some new things as with their packages.
The breakfasts are light and very nasty! Convenient to boardwalk and Asbury shopping! Great front porch!

“We'll be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Loved our room. Staff is very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast is very good too. We go there every year and really enjoy it. Very close to the beach and the downtown. We can walk everywhere we need to here.

Room Tip: Plan your trip early.

“Great B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Breakfast was very good, but my husband is a big eater and often left hungry :) This is also a very large B&B so if you are looking for a nice quiet stay, this might not be the place for you. We enjoyed our stay very much however. We were celebrating our anniversary and arrived to chocolate covered strawberries in our room!

Room Tip: I would recommend room #10 it is the only room on that side of the hallway! It was very quiet :)
