We really enjoyed our stay a Nalu Blue. Two Grandparents, Two parents and 3 Grandkids. All beds were used and very comfortable. We had not had much experience with the Northshore, the unit was very convenient to the amenities at Turtle Bay, and very close to the surfing beaches and other activities such as the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, silver and pots and pans. Even stocked with coffee filters and coffee, spices and even olive oil, NICE touch! We used the boogey boards, beach towels, beach toys, and beach umbrella, we brought our own snorkel gear so did not use the units, although there is an assortment. Also used the very convenient pool, grandkids wanted to use the pools and hot tubs at Turtle Bay, but Condo pool was fine.
Nothing to do with the unit, but be aware that Sunday night the food trucks close, so do the restaurants, the only open one was McDonalds in Laie.
