Bostwick's Magnolia Manor Estate

Where Southern Charm Meets the Timeless Beauty of the Outer Banks

Welcome to Bostwick's Magnolia Manor Estate, a one-of-a-kind Southern estate located on seven private acres in the heart of the historic fishing village of Wanchese on North Carolina's Outer Banks. More than a vacation rental, Magnolia Manor is a place where families reconnect, lifelong memories are made, and celebrations become traditions.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, reunion, intimate wedding, milestone birthday, anniversary celebration, corporate getaway, fishing trip, girls' hideaway, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, the Manor offers an memorable setting with the privacy, flexibility, and appeal that are increasingly difficult to find.

Stay Together—Without Feeling Crowded

Unlike a hotel where everybody disappears into separate rooms, Magnolia Manor accepts your entire group to stay together on one gorgeous estate while still appreciating personal space.

The estate offers multiple accommodations that can be rented individually or together, including:

• The Manor House

• The Jasmine Suite

• The Elderberry Studio

When reserved as the Whole Manor Estate, your group enjoys exclusive access to the entire property.

Wake up together with coffee on the porch, spend afternoons exploring the Outer Banks, gather for dinner under the stars, and end your evenings around the fire sharing stories that become family legends.

A Ideal Setting for Intimate Outer Banks Weddings

At Magnolia Manor, we specialize in intimate destination weddings where your closest family and friends can celebrate together over numerous days instead of just a few hours.

Rather than rushing through a single wedding day, couples can appreciate:

• Cocktail hours

• Receptions
