Two Homes - and Google Accounts and Nest Thermometer

[Northern]

We want to understand the best way to set up Google Accounts and two Nest Thermostats for TWO places - our home AND a Vacation Home that we sometimes rent out.  My wife and I have iPhones.  We want to control both Nest thermostats from our phones; and we also keep it pretty simple, if possible.  What's the best structure:  do we need NEW Google Accts for this Thermosat project, to maintain security while sharing access to the Nest Thermostat with others (while keeping our other Google products secure?).  Is it best to have ONE  shared Nest account or TWO (one for each house)? 

Someone has run into this situation before - are there any bugs to be aware of?  Would apprecaite your advice. Thanks!!

Use your google account (no need for a new one) to register the Nest in 2 different home structures in the Nest app/google home app. Add your wife as a family member so that she can also control them from her google account.
