**A peaceful waterfront estate retreat for up to 4 guests** Escape to Elderberry Studio, a charming private getaway nestled on the beautiful grounds of Bostwick's Magnolia Manor in Wanchese, North Carolina. Perfect for couples, small families, friends, or wedding guests, this cozy studio offers comfort, privacy, and access to one of the Outer Banks' most unique waterfront estate properties. The thoughtfully designed studio comfortably accommodates up to four guests with two premium queen sleeper sofas that provide a comfortable sofa-by-day, bed-by-night experience. Whether you're exploring the Outer Banks or simply relaxing on the property, Elderberry is the perfect place to unwind. Step outside to your own private patio featuring cushioned seating and bistro-style furniture—ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. One of the studio's most memorable features is its unique garden-style outdoor bathroom, offering a one-of-a-kind experience that blends comfort with nature. Traveling with your four-legged companion? Well-behaved dogs are welcome with a pet fee. Please notify us at the time of booking so we can provide pet guidelines. Staying with a Larger Group?

It may be rented on its own or as additional lodging for guests attending weddings, family reunions, retreats, or other special events held at the Manor. We look forward to welcoming you for a relaxing stay where waterfront views, historic charm, and genuine Outer Banks hospitality come together.

Comfortable stay

Do not hesitate to rent the studio. First time I slept on a fold out couch bed with memory foam mattress. A comfortable sleep and the outdoor bathroom was wonderful!

The sofa beds were surprisingly comfortable with the memory foam mattresses. The cooling system was efficient and quiet, and the room was clean. The bathroom/shower are adjacent to the room in a private outdoor stall and were fine. Ensure you have the fans on out there to prevent mosquito bites. This bathroom/shower would be uncomfortable during cold days. The location and hosts are both oustanding.
