We are a family with two young kids. This place is directly across the road from the best part of the beach for young kids, close enough you only have to take essentials, and you can walk them back to the hot water outdoor shower in their swim gear. It's also right at the start of the foreshore walking path to town, which my kids loved scootering along every day. It's really well lit at night when going in to town for dinner, so you can use it all hours. 'Beaches' cafe is across the road, perfect for a quick coffee and snack when going to/leaving the beach. There was plenty of space in the house and plenty of bathrooms. Easy hoping in the car with dedicated off street parking. We found the bins smelt a bit when leaving or arriving at the house but apparently this is the local council only collecting them every 2 weeks. There is some slight traffic noise from cars driving along Lawson St towards Wategos but I didn't really notice it after the first day, and that would be the case with any properties in this area directly across from the beach.
