This property was amazing! So well thought out and decorated. Beds, couches and chairs were comfy. Each room had plenty of space for luggage, ceiling fans and vanity areas with light up mirrors.The ceilings were soaring but the property was quiet.An unloading area in front, parking in the garage across the street and elevator to the unit all made this stay amazing.You can walk to many shops, restaurants and the river walk. Lots of beautiful historic sites are close also. We didn’t have any issues at all, but the host checked in a couple of times to ensure all was well. We would stay here again!

My recent stay at the elephant apartment was simply the best. As someone that went to college and grew up in the area, but has since moved away 20 years ago. It was so nice to be back in downtown Wilmington and feel like a local again. However, when I lived here, my apartment and living situation was never as nice as this! This was perfect for a weekend, getaway and staying downtown near local shops and access to all the great things Wilmington has to offer. Quick Uber ride from the airport and an easy check-in process. The beds were very comfortable and everything was just well thought out. Noise levels were never concerned and I slept like a baby. I even enjoyed the provided Ramen noodles at lunch during my work from home day. At one point, I thought that the water wouldn’t get hot and I sent a message to Paula and she quickly responded. It turns out it was my error and I just was turning the knob the wrong direction. Absolutely recommend and will stay again!

The Elephant on market was nothing short of amazing! Paula was so attentive and sweet! She checked on us after our first night and answered within minutes when we needed something. The beds were so comfortable and the shower was amazing! I love the all the decorations and everything about this place. It was so nice to not have to worry about paying for parking daily as well because a spot is also provided for you. I love the downtown area and have restaurants and shops so close. Thank you for a perfect stay!

About the host

Hosted by Paula R Warren

Host profile image

Hi, I’m Paula!
My husband Chan and I moved to Wilmington in October of 2020 after living in Alexandria VA for most of our lives. We visited Wilmington for the first time in April of 2019 and fell in love with it. I immediately began searching for our first short term rental. Within a few months we purchased what is now known as Elephant on Market. Fast forward a year, and after spending lots of time at the loft visiting, the pandemic hits and we can work from anywhere. So we threw caution to the wind and decided to buy a historic home in downtown Wilmington. Talk about an adventure. We are now in the midst of a pretty substantial restoration project just a few blocks from the condo and have built our second short term rental - now known as Steer on Dock. The house was built in 1855 by the same architect as the Bellamy Mansion. It's been a lot of work but will be AMAZING when it's done. Fast forward a little bit more and we have a 3rd short term rental named Crane on Dock - it's an amazing bungalow in historic downtown.

I’m fun and easy going and really love meeting new people on my adventures. My favorite things in the world are music, animals, photography, and interior design. I especially love the beach and am completely obsessed with my French bulldog Atlas. Oh, and I love coffee and foodie stuff and WINE! I also have a passion for real estate and would love to learn additional languages.

Come stay at Elephant on Market or Steer on Dock or Crane on Dock!
Paula and Chan Warren
