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 20 after living in Alexandria VA for most of our lives. We visited Wilmington for the first time in April of 19 and fell in love with it. I immediately began searching for our first vacation 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 condo visiting, the pandemic hits and we can work from anywhere. So we 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 rental - now known as Steer on Dock. Our 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. Please hit me up if you want to come over for a tour while you are visiting. Another year in Wilmington and another rental added to the mix - the most charming bungalow we call Crane on Dock! I’m fun and easy going and really love meeting new people on my adventures. My favorite things in the world are music, animals, travel, 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. Come stay in style at Elephant on Market or Steer on Dock or Crane on Dock! Paula and Chan Warren
