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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service - Safe ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 4,590 square feet ## Similar properties ![Sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34340000/34330800/34330719/0f49d55a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Barefootin' - steps from the beach, restaurants & shops.

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. ##### Autumn L.

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! ##### Nancy W.

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! ##### Angie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Pines-Hotels-Pine-Needles-Lodge-Golf-Club.h2222358.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
