Everything was so clean. I sat down to read the paper. and a gentleman came up and asked if I would like breakfast. I asked what it was and I believe it was pancakes and strawberries. I said no and asked if they had eggs. The gentleman said I will see what he could do. The next thing I knew. he showed up at my table with a plate of eggs. Who does that.

I'm not a B&B kind of guy, but the room itself was super modern like a clean modern hotel (a high end one!). Powerful A/C, gorgeous modern bath with super hot water, TV, sound isolation from the other rooms, and even A/C in the hallway to get to your room. You never get that in a B&B. But the rest of the house was a gorgeous old Victorian home with a huge patio and old artsy stuff all over. The owner lives there and treats you like visiting family. One night he put a bucket of beer and wine on the patio for his guests for free to share. Who does that? This owner. Loved this place. 3 block walk to downtown shopping, 3 blocks the other way to the beach and boardwalk. Seafood restaurant on the next corner, ice cream shop across from that, bike rental shop 1 block away. Amazing location!

If the rooms, location, and cool, retro vibe weren't enough, the service was incredible! The Innkeeper, Sne was such a friendly, helpful, and gracious host and while our visit to Ocean City was all too brief this time around, we will definitely return to The Scarborough Inn soon! The renovated rooms have been done with incredible attention to detail all the way down to the decorative filigree on the bronze sink stopper … clearly, a lot of care and thought went into the design and build of the renovation and helped make our stay incredibly comfortable. Meeting other guests on the front porch, many who have been coming here for years was a highlight and demonstrates how well Sne and his team take care of their visitors. I cannot recommend this place enough … you will NOT be disappointed!

Hi, Christopher! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We are thrilled to hear Scarborough Inn left such a positive impression on you.

We look forward to creating even more memorable experiences with you in the future.

As good as places we have paid $450 a night for
We had an amazing time. It was incredibly relaxing and everything was thought-out, including blankets on the front porch, notes written in calligraphy labeling everything, tons of drinks and snacks, and delicious breakfast. We were sitting out on the porch and homemade lemonade was brought out to us. Everyone was super friendly, and everything was very clean. The experience was much more than we expected. We will definitely come again!

Spacious room, great shower, comfortable bed, great decorations, lovely welcoming porch and a great staff. They weren't busy when we were there in Nov. but they made us feel like much loved family come to visit. If we wouldn't have had important unbreakable commitments we would have extended our stay. Made me a fan of Ocean City NJ for life. We will be back, for real.
