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 nestled 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 retreat, fishing trip, girls' getaway, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, the Manor offers an unforgettable setting with the privacy, flexibility, and charm that are increasingly difficult to find.

Stay Together—Without Feeling Crowded

Unlike a hotel where everyone disappears into separate rooms, Magnolia Manor allows your entire group to stay together on one beautiful estate while still enjoying 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 Perfect 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 several days instead of just a few hours.

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

• Welcome parties
• Rehearsal dinners
• Bridal brunches
• Wedding ceremonies
• Cocktail hours
• Receptions
• Farewell breakfasts

Our goal is to create a relaxed wedding weekend where every moment can be enjoyed instead of hurried.

Our venue is especially well suited for weddings of 50–75 guests, while accommodating celebrations of up to approximately 100 guests on-site. Larger celebrations may also be possible with additional rental equipment and planning.

Because we're an authorized Dare County Event Home, our property is designed to accommodate events beyond overnight guest capacity while meeting local event requirements.
