Bostwick's Magnolia Manor was named after a magnificent magnolia tree that Laura Bostwick planted over 50 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. Book your stay now and create unforgettable memories at this special place that Laura loved so much.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! We loved the outdoor spaces, especially for our kids and dogs to run around and play. We were fortunate to have great weather in December, which allowed us to take full advantage of the kayaks right off the dock—what a treat! The house was well-equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry, making our stay comfortable and convenient. With plenty of room for all 10 of us, we felt right at home. The location was also fantastic, adding to the overall experience. We can't wait to return!

We absolutely loved our stay! The 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.

This house was gorgeous! We booked all of the connecting properties and it was perfect for our friends and family. The kitchen has everything you could need, plenty of lounge space, and so comfortable! The only thing I wish I had been aware of is that the “office bedroom” is not actually a private space.
