Daydream_Wilmington was constructed in 1954. We, as owners, felt it was important to keep the authentic character of the home (original doors, doorknobs, wood floors, etc) while completing the renovations. Therefore, some doors might not close effortlessly, the floors might squeak, or there could be other modest details you notice during your stay that come with an older home. We hope you savor the original, vintage vibe of our home while appreciating the modern updates of today.
