We had a great experience staying at The Tides. Location is perfect - walking distance to first beach and cliff-walk, even downtown Npt, but far enough away to escape the downtown traffic. The house was perfect for our large group, 3 floors and plenty of space to congregate but also have our own space at times. Leon and Debbie were super friendly and met at check it to show us the ropes. They were also very flexible with check in/out times.
Only complaint would be that the heating units on 3rd flood were a bit weak especially for the winter.
