Sprawling Waterfront Estate on The Outer Banks of North Carolina. Sleeps 12

Event Website Link: https://bostwicksmagnoliamanor.com

Welcome to Bostwick's Magnolia Manor, a stunning estate with a 5 bedroom home( sleeps 12) that offers an unforgettable stay. Majestic WATERFRONT and sprawling property located in the beautiful fishing village of Wanchese, NC located on The Outer Banks. This property is a perfect event site with 7.5 acres of lush, grassy lawn. Our website linked below provides full disclosure of what this property has to offer (click the link here: https://bostwicksmagnoliamanor.com). The sun-drenched windows and 20' ceilings facing west provide endless views of the boat basin, marsh, and Croatan sound. The manor also has two adjacent rentals on the property, The Elderberry Studio & the Jasmine Bunkhouse. Each one can be added on for $150 per night per housing accommodation. The Elderberry studio apartment and The Jasmine Bunk House are unique in design and ensure that everyone has a cozy and comfortable stay. Magnolia Manor can accommodate between 12-27 guests, 27 when you choose all three.

The Six Sisters Lodge is next door (must be rented separately) for those big reunions, weddings or retreats. Magnolia Manor is also a perfect reunion and retreat site. The large gourmet kitchen makes entertaining easy. Perfect waterfront wedding property. There are 4 desk areas for those who have to get a little work done on vacation and for corporate retreats. One room is a dedicated office space.

Bostwick's Magnolia Manor was named after a magnificent magnolia tree that Laura Bostwick planted over 43 years ago. Laura was a legend in her own right, being the Great Granddaughter of Jabez Bostwick, a founding partner of Standard Oil. She loved everything about this home, the grounds, the views, and the privacy it offered, but most of all, she loved Wanchese and its people. As an avid big game fisherman and gourmet chef, Laura loved to entertain and host huge dinner parties. Her parties included a vast mix of characters from the who's who of New York City to the lowly local fishermen, making it a unique experience for all. Originally built in 1930, Laura Bostwick acquired the estate in 1978 and made it her home for 43 years until her passing in 2021.

As the new owner, I am honored to keep her home and legacy alive. Come and experience the magic of Bostwick's Magnolia Manor for yourself, and who knows, maybe we'll even continue Laura's extravagant parties! Book your stay now and create unforgettable memories at this special place that Laura loved so much.

Awesome property - exactly as advertised!
The home was perfect for our group. Large, spacious indoor and out. Everything is meticulously maintained and tastefully decorated. Plenty of gathering spots inside the home for entertaining. The grounds outside are also well maintained and offer lots of opportunities for activities. Highly recommend this property!

Amazing!
We had a little glitch with check in schedule, but Laurie and Vickie were amazing at making everything right and comfortable. We had a large group of 32 kids, teens, parents for my mom's birthday family reunion. The properties were very comfortable, well stocked with linens. It was an amazing stay! We would highly recommend and definitely hope to get there again!!!

Very good property
Property was great- we had 15 people for a pre wedding Jack &Jill. Check and check out was very easy. House was very beautiful. The only complaint I have is I think someone was staying in the studio at the same time we were staying at the property? (Not sure they could have just been a neighbor) but they kept popping up in the backyard at random times throughout the day and night which sometimes felt a little intrusive.

One of the best Vacations we have ever had
When they say location is everything they are referring to this house, it's perfectly positioned to go 15 to 25 minutes and be anywhere you want to be from a great restaurant to jet skis and walking on the pier. Great location. We had all of our immediate family including grandparents, stay at the home and we very much enjoyed it with great memories, photography of both the inside and outside of the home made for perfect family photos. Customer service was amazing very detail oriented and made everything from the check in to check out seamless.

Amazing Wedding Venue
This was the perfect place to bring our families together for 4 days as we were married in the backyard. Everyone had so much fun! Our friends joined us to watch us get married and then we celebrated with dinner, music, dancing, badminton, bags, light sabres, beach balls…lol we had a blast!

Amazing retreat
This is a beautiful property! From the super comfortable beds, to the well stocked gourmet kitchen, and backyard kayaks there is nothing that we could have imagined to want or need more. It is in a great location away from the hustle and bustle of things, but convenient to reach everything. Laurie was a wonderful host- accessible, knowledgeable about the local area, and so warm. We hope to be back there soon! Thank you Laurie!

Booked this property to accommodate 10 adults and 2 kids. It did not disappoint! Lots of space for everyone. Rooms were big and plenty of bathrooms. Very attentive owner/maid (her description not mine) - responded immediately to any concerns. This waterfront property provides easy access to fun activities like kayaking. It is also close to the beach as well as local restaurants that truly define NC culture and cuisine. This property will be a nice wedding venue for a small intimate affair. Check it out!

Awesome home!
Laurie’s home was a great place for our family. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, two separate living room spaces and an incredible kitchen! Laurie was a gracious host and provided anything we needed! This home is decorated beautifully and provided a huge back yard for our dogs to run and play! The huge table allowed for great family meals. Only 10 minutes over to the beach and centrally located to the entire outer banks. We enjoyed one day up to Carova and another day down to Cape Hatteras. We will certainly be back again!

The owner was great!
We have a great time at our stay! There was some miscommunication between us and the property manager but we actually made connection with the property owner and she was fantastic and set our minds at ease and helped us have a fabulous stay! The property is beautiful! It includes the house itself, plus the studio apartment. The bunk house was not finished when we were there but they were working on it. This property was definitely a steal and Laurie made it all really great!

Family vacation to celebrate our 30th anniversary
This is a spectacular home and property. We enjoyed everything it had to offer, especially the amazing kitchen and all of the outdoor spaces! The neighborhood was peaceful and lovely and it was fun seeing people ride by on their horses in the evenings. I highly recommend for families and larger gatherings, there’s so much to do right there, from kayaking and fishing to playing frisbee and soccer on the huge lawn! Also the landscaping is as gorgeous as the home!

Everything was perfect! We rented both houses for a weekend wedding. The grounds were beautiful and the house was made for parties! Wanchese is a great place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bussel of the beach. I will defiantly go back!
