The 2 units meant that the families could have space from each other when needed, but the lounge room, dining and outdoor tables in unit #2 were large enough to seat all 11 of us for together time. We had teething issue with a water pump and the owner was extremely responsive and communicated action promptly. The beach is beautiful. We enjoyed daily swimming and the short walk to the shop for real fruit ice-creams. Overall a lovely relaxing stay.
