  • We absolutely loved our stay!

    DeThe home is beautifully situated with peaceful marsh views by day and breathtaking sunsets every evening. It was the perfect spot for hosting our Thanksgiving gathering — the layout is made for entertaining with plenty of space for everyone to cook, dine, and relax together. Every room felt comfortable and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to unwind and feel right at home.We created so many wonderful memories here and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday retreat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a scenic, comfortable, and well-appointed place to stay. Jen S.

  • Highly recommend not only booking the manor but also the other add on properties for this location.

    The home and property are straight out of a dream. The sunrises and sunsets from the backyard are amazing. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely book this home again in the future.

  • 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!

  • 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 crowds and hustle and bustle of the beach. I will defiantly go back!

  • 30th Anniversary Celebration

    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!

  • I have been here for 2 different events and didn’t want to leave either time.

    It is so welcoming. Truly SUCH a beautiful setting. And oh my goodness, that Magnolia tree!!! The house is gorgeous! Feels very high end and has everything you need. The rooms and studio as well. Love love love this beautiful, peaceful place. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

  • I had the wedding of my dreams.

    We recently had an event at this beautiful home! The most difficult thing about it was choosing which room to choose. I had been looking at this house for almost a year for my wedding and it far surpassed my expectations. It was beautiful and clean and perfect for our small wedding with family and friends. I highly recommend this property as pictures absolutely do not do it justice.

  • This Place Is Magical!

    We could not have picked a more perfect place for our wedding than Bostwick’s Magnolia Manor! What made it so special was that it wasn’t just a wedding venue — we had the entire estate to ourselves and were able to actually spend time with our family and friends instead of having the whole experience fly by in a few hours. If you are considering an Outer Banks wedding, especially if you want a place where your family and friends can truly gather, stay together and make an entire weekend out of your wedding, I will absolutely recommend Magnolia Manor. We made memories there that we will treasure forever!

  • Best sound front wedding venue on the OBX

    This place absolutely exceeded every expectation! It is beyond gorgeous, and the photos simply cannot do its beauty justice. Every single detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the incredibly comfortable beds and beautiful décor to the most well-stocked kitchen I have ever seen!

    The only downside? You won't want to leave! I honestly can't imagine a more beautiful place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives. It was everything I dreamed of and so much more!
