I actually appreciated this place so much that this is my first yelp review. Staff was extra friendly and accommodating. Breakfast and coffee bar were great though I'm not a picky eater. If you don't like it, there are close breakfast options nearby. I loved the complimentary cheese and wine as well as the chocolate cookies! Outdoor pool was nice, I didn't see the indoor pool since it was in the other building. Housekeeping did a great job with our room as well. My only criticisms would be that some things in our room need some TLC like the sliding door to the balcony would occasionally get stuck and the fridge/freezer was stuck on the highest setting which froze everything we put in there lol. But if you're letting these minor inconveniences ruin your time at the beach then you need to lighten up a bit. A wonderful spot to stay while on vacation

The Scarborough House Inn, not to be confused with the Scarborough Inn (a hotel nearby) , is a…read morecute, quaint inn nestled on a residential street in the heart of Manteo. I love the building with its weathered shaker shingles, bright green door, and welcoming walkway lined with flowerpots. It looked like something out of a movie, beautiful! Inside, the lobby was dim, full of antiques, dark wood, vintage Tiffany lamps, Oriental rugs, faded chintz, a cuckoo clock and abundant in English charm. The owner of the inn was "off duty" but she left our keys and towels on the huge heirloom desk in the parlor. Talk about trusting your visitors... this was a sweet surprise. Our room was just as charming as the lobby, appointed with aged floral wallpaper, red and white checkered calico quilts on the beds, vintage furnishings and pictures of a bygone era. It was certainly cozy and warm. What could've improved was the twin bed I slept in... it wasn't very comfortable as it was saggy... new mattress please, smiley face! My friend's queen bed was comfy though, she said. Another thing I would have appreciated is a set of soft, matching towels. Although the bathroom was clean, the towels were rough, mix matched, and worn. This is an easy fix to take this inn up a notch! We only stayed one night, and when we checked out, again the phantom innkeeper was nowhere to be seen. While I appreciate the trustworthiness of the owner allowing its guests to check themselves in and out, we did encounter a couple of issues that would have warranted face-to-face contact. Next door lives a relative of the owner, I believe, and they have the yappiest little dog I've ever heard. No need for a wake up call here, lol! With a couple of improvements and a bit of sprucing, I think this idyllic country inn could easily be 5 stars! Maybe upon my next visit, I can meet the owner and they can earn that elusive 5th star *!!

When you cross that bridge and roll the windows down all your worries seems to blow right out Every year I see all these great unique spots I want to stop and explore such as Peace of the Past on 460 or Carolina Charm in Currituck ... Every year my husband just flys right on by them I decided to take an overnight trip and stop at each and every unique place I've always wanted to explore for the past 15 plus years . I get my good friend involved and on board . She's always up for a road trip . That's how I stumbled upon this quaint little place . We both like Tea Rooms and B&B's so I started calling and most places would not accommodate an overnight stay. A minimum of 2 days were required. An owner to one B&B suggested the Scarborough House Inn not to be confused with Scarborough Inn . I expressed my appreciation and quickly looked up the number to see if I could book my reservations.(it was Wednesday and we were leaving the next day) I was so elated that the lady on the phone was happy to accommodate us for just one night . She suggested the room with a queen bed and a twin . All the rooms are antique inspired. Although not a B&B , it has all the charm of one. (because of not serving breakfast. It has English country cottage charm . We arrived later that evening and on the desk in the lobby was a note to me from Ruth along with my key to Room 3 . The room was cool and quite charming more than I even expected . We had a small refrigerator / freezer , microwave , coffee pot ,TV and a small table to eat at . The room was a nice size and the decor will take you back in time . From the quilts on the bed to the 4 poster queen bed give you a feeling of home even though your away from home. So quaint and charming . I look forward to planning another trip to Manteo and booking my accommodations here at the Inn.

I stayed here for a wedding I had to attend in Nags Head which is just right next door. Most of he…read moredecent hotels out there want $200 per night and require a 2 night MINIMUM. This place allowed me to stay only one night, and was about $150 for one night, which is actually standard for a B&B. It was my first time ever staying in a Bed and Breakfast, and it won't be my last if all of them are like this one! I pulled up on a Saturday, and was about 30 minutes early before check-in. It was scorching outside at the time as it was in early August, and Lynn came out and asked if I was okay. I told her I was waiting for 2 pm, which was check in time, and she allowed me to come on in as the room was already, ready! Her maiden name was my last name was we hit it off immediately and joked that we might be related. She was very professional, and answered any question that I may have had regarding my stay. She showed me to my room, and even offered me warm baked chocolate chip cookies, as well as sodas and juice in he refrigerator which was open to guests. Lynn asked me did I need any help about activities to do on the Outer Banks, but I told her I would just be going to the wedding, and heading out in the morning. She made sure to leave the porch light for me as she knew I would be coming home late from the wedding! The room was very clean, it had all the towels, wash clothes, and any accessories that one would need when staying there. The TV was a bubble screen, and was really outdated, but I barely watched any television for me so that was a non-issue for me. The bed was very comfortable, and the house was very quiet as well, which allowed me to get some great sleep before the wedding, and later that night when I cam back. The next morning as I packed up, Lynn, and her husband, had cooked breakfast for me that included muffins, eggs, bacon, and grits which were delicious with the orange juice I had as well! We talked it up a bit, and they also gave me a brochure about the B&B in case I come back out that way. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely re-visit once I get back out to the far, far, east coast! Thanks again Lynn to you and your husband for your wonderful hospitality!

Outdated but serves its purpose - sleep, shower and bathroom. Our room was considered ocean side which is true but for someone who is a stickler for the details I think it should be renamed to beach access as you can not physically see or hear the ocean. The ocean view / side rooms are located at the back of the motel and these rooms are more expensive. Room comes with towels, bar soap, mini shampoo / conditioner, toilet paper, extra trash bags, tiny coffee maker, mini fridge, window ac, base board heat, microwave, small tv, closet, dresser, nightstand and free WiFi. Ice machine and drink machine located in back motel. Oh and .... living walking disgusting cockroaches! Almost stepped on a cockroach as I went to the bathroom ! Yes it was alive ! Yes I am allergic !!! No wonder my allergies are giving me a fit. :( Note to self: Bring roach traps! Room 6 : has a leaky toilet and a constant dripping sound Not many electrical outlets in our room so I would recommend to bring a four way. Beds not the very comfortable. Wear socks on carpet. Bathroom very tiny!!(please do not take offense to this but : anyone who is possibly 'large' would not be able to fit in the toilet area) Limited parking : no room to turn around Pros: Location, amazing beach access, wifi & affordable!

The unit is not represented well in the photos. The queen size bed is shoved up against a wall on one side so you can only enter from one side or the end of the bed. There are no side tables to charge phones or set glasses, etc. There's no room for them because the bedroom is that small. I use a CPAP and was unable to use it the whole time we were there as there was nowhere to put it and you can't put them on the floor. You had to turn sideways to squeeze between a corner and the refrigerator to get into the very tiny bathroom. The shower was extremely small, you can't even raise your arms much to wash your hair as there is not enough room in the shower. There is lots of deferred maintenance at this property, rotting wood, trex type boards with no support beneath so they sagged when you stepped on them (walkways and pool deck), formica countertop in room was unfinished on one end, shotty carpentry work throughout the Sea Level unit and lots of bugs (little ones that I have no idea what they were). The homes all around this one were very well maintained but this one stands out as being neglected. Breakfast was packets of instant oatmeal or grits, bagels and apples and bananas, a far cry from what most bnb's offer. At the very least most bnb's offer at least some type of baked item. We will not stay here again. We were celebrating our anniversary and this room was not at all what we had envisioned from the photos. We loved the Outer Banks and will probably visit again but choose a much better place to stay.

We stayed one night after…read morespending the day in Ocracoke - we checked in late in the night and Mike was kind enough to extend our checkout time to 11 a.m. However, we did not use the extra time given since we couldn't leave there quick enough. It was obvious the minute we entered our room (Deck Side Room) the cleaning was at best minimal. From carpet stains; bugs; mold in the bathroom; molded and dusty vents it instantly made us feel grungy! The room temperature was obnoxiously hot (even on a November night); and the wobbly and filthy ceiling fan barely did a thing. My girlfriend cleaned out dead bugs from the tub and to her surprise brown water came out of the faucet (after running for awhile it was clear water). Breakfast was set for a 6-year old chid - pop tarts, instant oatmeal & grits, 4 powdered doughnuts and single-serve cereal boxes. We used the Keurig to make our own coffee and discovered how gross and unkept the kitchen was. The powdered creamer was a solid brick with dead bugs in it; and the sugar was hard as a rock with rust on the lid! We did not expect to have to go to an amazing breakfast at WaveRider after spending over $200 at this "Bed & Breakfast" We do NOT recommend staying here unless you don't mind uncleanlinesses and just need a bed for the night. The only perk to this location is its proximity to beach.

The location is tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of the touristy parts of Outer Banks, but it's only minutes away from everything you would want to do around Manteo and Nags Head.

There were freshly cut flowers in all the rooms, too. Lorraine is also a wonderful cook! When we were there she had lots of fresh fruit, cake, chocolate-covered strawberries, quiche, Keurig drinks, fruit drinks, and she even has a mini fridge filled with water and iced tea in the parlor.
