A Dream Come True
Although I was initially taken aback that the space was smaller than appeared online and that there was no in-room frig or coffee pot, I fell in love with the space. Upon entering Dreamers,I found the ambient music and aromatic scent soothing and inviting. Check in was quick and efficiently done via iPad until I was greeted by Oceana. She graciously brought in my bags, set them in the room, helped me put my refrigerated items in a mini frig designated by a magnet matching the shape on my room door. Communication via text was consistent and responsive. At no point did I feel as if I needed something and didn’t get it. The room itself was beautiful! The lighting was sparse and positioned throughout the room with minimalist yet artsy lamps. The ac was perfect but the retro mini fan was just as powerful. Also in the room was a diffuser with an aromatic essential oil named for one of the Dreamers, Traveler. There was also a glass carafe of cool fresh water with 2 stemmed water glasses on a table in front of one of the windows near a comfy reading chair. The bathroom? OMG! Rainfall shower with bear claw tub. Knobs adjusted water flow: tub, shower, or handheld. Can’t forget the Google cast through which you can stream music and the TV “hidden” under a beautiful had crafted throw. There were also short descriptions of accessories and the cost in case I wanted to purchase. All in all, I loved the Dreamer by DW.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This home is beautiful, but my husband and I have some mobility issues and some aspects of the house (uneven floors, no handrail on front steps, high entry into tub, low bed, trip hazards) made it difficult to navigate. Also, the room was not particularly comfortable and would benefit from a second chair. We did enjoy sitting on the large and comfortable front porch watching it rain. We had minimal interaction with staff.

Pros: area, history/charm, walkable, decor/details, comfort, safe/secure, staff and responsiveness, Cons: parking cost— realized after we paid might be best to just park on side streets for free, could be cleaner but it’s an old building/home and some dust expected Overall very good

Great stay in Wilmington downtown. I’ll be back! My only suggestion is to put more options to the breakfast other than vegan options.

Unique bed and breakfast located near the walkable waterfront. The gardens, the porch, and the rooms are absolutely beautiful! Breakfast has gluten free and vegan options. You will not be disappointed in this choice.

Charming
This was a very charming place. The location is fantastic. We were very pleased with the host as well. The one downfall is the tub was not thoroughly clean and the shower was dirty as well. But would definitely go back, if they would make sure those areas are cleaner.
