Central breezeways on each floor, running from oceanside balcony to soundside balcony, permit the coastal breezes to cool the building all day. The interior has a country-home atmosphere with a fireplace in the common room downstairs. Rooms are equipped with ceiling fans and paired doors, one of each being louvered to take advantage of that hallway breeze. There are three private baths upstairs and three shared baths.
All rooms have a nautical theme, which continues throughout the house.
All nine bedrooms are named after a U.S. lighthouse and are free of TVs, telephones and smoking. Gourmet breakfasts include homemade breads and jams and may be taken on the upstairs balcony overlooking the ocean. Each cottage features a furnished kitchen, linens and towels. Children are welcome at the cottages. Beacon House is across the street from the ocean and close to fishing piers and golf.
