Great spot! It worked out perfectly for our family of four. We all loved looking out at the jungle in the morning and then hitting the beach. I’d definitely stay there next time.

The location is a good location to be able to easily access different parts of the island. The property could be upgraded with a few alterations. The toilet kept gurgling throughout the stay and nights. Nothing was done to fix this during our stay. One of the windows the mechanism to open and close was also broken. Also the cleanliness of the shower could be better. Lastly there was only 2 pods for the washer for a 10 day stay. Probably would not stay here again without it being updated.

We loved our stay at the Forest Bath Retreat. The convenience of location to very popular North Shore beaches was exactly what we were looking for.

The location was lovely - away from the hustle and bustle. It’s a short drive from the main highway. The location is convenient and beautiful. The hosts left us alone but were also prompt to answer any questions we had. The accommodations were more than adequate for our needs. Being able to look out onto the acreage of lovely plants every day was so relaxing. You do need a car to access this property. The North Shore of Oahu is a place we’d love to return to! Mahalo!

The location in North Shore is perfect, and the place itself is a beautiful serene retreat! We had a lovely time and it was a convenient location to explore the North Shore beaches and activities. Our stay itself was seamless; the instructions provided were very detailed and we did not encounter any issues during our stay. Our only regret is not staying longer!

Could not recommend this place enough! The property is gorgeous and in a quiet area, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The beach is quick 5 min drive. Highly recommend getting a rental car, it would be a difficult walk to the shore.

The house placed into the forest makes it nice to stay on the island of Oahu. We enjoyed staying at this house in Haleiwa.

We absolutely loved staying here and would stay again. It’s just around the corner from the Weimeia Waterfalls trail, Pipeline and sharks cove for amazing snorkeling. There is a grocery store and lots of food trucks. Fantastic location!! The only cons would be the pull out couch bed was really uncomfortable and not level. Pillows/mattress cover-old and stained. The property and such are older than appeared in the pictures. Still the kitchen was fully stocked and they had snorkels, beach chairs and beach towels. Had an amazing time!

Beautiful property highlighted by a large porch overlooking a forest - great for morning coffee and evening refreshments. Kitchen and dining amenities are functional and well used. Bed and pullout couch were comfortable, although four occupants is a little awkward as the only bathroom is in the master suite.The property is located in the heart of the North Shore; however, we were surprised that the house is only accessible by a steep, winding car ride uphill - great views on the ride up, but not suitable for access by walking or hiking. Biking or hiking to town or to the beach from this property is not an option. As mentioned in the listing, a family lives in the floor above, and they are active (and audible) around 6:00 am every morning. We are early risers so this was not a problem for us. All in all, we had a wonderful stay.

Check in was really easy with clear instructions. The property is in a beautiful location, a short drive to the beach, Sunrise Shack, and Ehukai pillbox hike. My friends slept on the main bed said it was comfortable, however the pullout couch was quite thin. The AC system is only in the living room but worked quite well. The owners live on the floor above and we could hear every footstep, but they were fairly quiet from 9 pm - 6 am. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and I appreciated having beach towels to use. Overall a nice stay, but I would keep in mind the noise.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lush, quiet environment. The house is beautiful and you have everything you need to have. In the morning you are welcomed with a beautiful green scenery while the birds are singing their morning songs. Pipe and all the other magnificent surf spots are just a few minutes away. This place is incredible. We stayed in the appartment with 2 couples, we cooked a lot and had a wonderful stay and had everything we needed. The only drawback was the quality of the sofa bad, the matras is really thin and makes a lot of noice. Other then that this is a gem.Enjoy, wish we could come back soon!

A very nice location to spend a few days in the north, the location is perfect for excursions and enjoying the North Shore. Unfortunately, the apartment wasn't really clean when we arrived; the dishes, stove, refrigerator and microwave were very used and dirty. The floor was dirty and we wrote to the landlord. The next day the floor was cleaned again. The beds weren't very comfortable. The accommodation is perfect due to the location and size, but we cannot recommend it due to the cleanliness.

Stayed here for part of a trip with my wife in November and had a great time. The space is very comfortable with its own little balcony overlooking the yard and forest where we spent a lot of time reading and relaxing in both rain and shine. The location is great for accessing North Shore tourist attractions, like the Waimea Valley and Haleiwa town, and being close to a grocery store makes it very livable for longer stays where you do some of your own cooking. Highly recommend and would visit again.
