Dear Guests,
Happy New Year! We wish all of you a year of good health, abundant happiness, and prosperity. We also want to thank you for choosing the Scarborough Inn for your Ocean City, NJ vacation; we greatly appreciate your patronage and look forward to welcoming you back during the 2011 season.
We have developed a number of new ways for keeping you informed about our Bed and Breakfast. In addition to the website, you can visit facebook, our blog, and twitter. Expect more new and exciting developments in 2011, too!
In the meantime, look for the Innkeeper’s Notes – located at the bottom of the Welcome page of the website. Here you’ll find timely updates on the inn and the staff.
Check back frequently for updated information, seasonal packages, and tips for making your stay at the Scarborough Inn a special occasion – every time!
Cordially,

Bridge & Causeway Project Update
Work on the Route 52 Bridge/Causeway onto the island is continuing. The construction company promises the roadway will be open during the Summer Season. For official updates, click here.
Winter Projects at the Scarborough
Every year we re-decorate several Guest Rooms to help insure our guest’s continued comfort and pleasure. This may include basics like new mattresses, painting and repair, or new bedding and décor. The rooms on this year’s “To-Do List” include: Sonnet, Sweet Thymes, Ashleigh, Cafagiola, Chelsea, and Primavera. We hope you enjoy the results!
Bob has also been industriously painting the exterior of the building and is currently re-painting the closets – ALL of the closets! The hallway walls are his next mission.
Researching the Scarborough’s “Genealogy”
Sadly, most information about the Inn’s origins has been lost over time. We know that the building was constructed about 1895 or 1898 and this year we are making an attempt to recover additional facts and recollections about this historic structure.
We are contacting previous owners of the Scarborough and asking them to send us information, memories, and photographs. If and when we receive these items, they will be collected on the website and preserved for posterity.
Many guests have been visiting the Scarborough their entire lives. If you are one of them and have anecdotes or photographs you would like to contribute, please send them to the inn c/o Carol. We would appreciate your interest and participation!
