Wilcox Hanalei Estate

Elegant, stately, and superbly positioned, the Wilcox Hanalei Estate is a regal vacation rental on the island of Kauai. This historic estate was once the home of Emma Kauikeōlani and Albert Wilcox, members of the Hawaiian aristocracy during the era of the Hawaiian Republic.

The Kauai Villa estate is based on a large expanse of property in the North Shore, in the town of Hanalei. Famed and gorgeous Hanalei Bay beach access is just across the street.

It's a one-story home with six bedrooms and bathrooms, making it ideal for multigenerational groups. In total, the Kauai vacation rental can accommodate up to 12 guests for a vacation or special event.

The front rooms of the luxury villa have views of the vast lawn and garden area. Rear areas of the home, including the lanai, overlook the landscaped backyard, Kauai's mountains, and a bit of Hanalei Bay.

In addition to the half-dozen bathrooms and bedrooms, Kauai Villa contains a central living room/dining room combination and a fully equipped eat-in kitchen. Three spacious lanais wrap around the house while a separate enclosed terrace is attached to the estate’s expansion.

The bedrooms of this luxury villa in Hanalei feature antique furnishings and a variety of bed sizes. The Master and Den bedrooms both have king-sized mattresses. The remaining bedrooms -- two guest areas, the Library, and area off the kitchen -- have two queens each.

Every bedroom has lanai views or direct access to the outside areas. Other convenient amenities and features are additional seating in the Master, ceiling fans, and high ceilings.

The guest bedrooms, off the living and dining area, have en-suite bathrooms in this Kauai vacation rental. The rest have areas shared with other guests. All bathrooms have either a claw-foot tub, showers, or a combination of both.

The living and dining area of the luxury villa are filled with 19th century furnishings and fixtures that reflect the original Missionary style of the home. It contains three sofas, two hardback armchairs, and a flat-screen TV with wireless high-speed internet.

A small table near the one of the veranda access points seats four guests for casual eating. The large formal dining table with upholstered high-back chairs seats 12 individuals.

These rooms have direct access to the estate's main veranda. The covered area wraps around the southern and western parts of the house and contains numerous sitting areas. In addition, they feature views of six waterfalls that cascade into Hanalei Bay.

The fully equipped kitchen mixes modern appliances with those from the 19th century. Among the amenities are a microwave oven, refrigerator/freezer combination, toaster, and a gas-powered double stove with multiple burners. The area's walk-in pantry provides all the necessary dining and cookware needed. A eat-in area has a small table that seats four guests.

Food and drink preparation are also available in an outdoor area. Across from the kitchen, this enclosed location features a countertop, stainless steel sink, and storage areas.

Due to the size of the estate, this Kauai vacation rental has a dedicated laundry room. It contains two washer/dryer combinations, hampers, and a folding table. Even this room has two windows that overlook the property.

Additional amenities for Kauai Villa surround the home. An outside shower is provided to guests to wash off beach sand and saltwater prior to entering the home. The estate has its own nine-hole golf course that winds through the property. Within that is a covered space with a ping-pong table and outdoor seating.
