Great place to see the Riverwalk and downtown. Free parking was a huge plus. Host was always available to make sure we had what we needed! Highly recommended.
Second floor unit accessible by elevator or stairs. Parking is in a garage/deck directly across the street. Apple maps told me my car was 500-600 yards away.Great place and communication by owner. I would definitely stay here 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!
Everything about our stay was excellent! Great location, beautiful condo and amazing host! I would highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for everything Paula. You went above and beyond.
This is a great apartment. It had everything we needed. It was clean with all the amenities. The place was close to plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee cafés and shops.
The place was beautiful and clean. The location was great for walking around Willmington. It is within walking distance to the waterfront and almost everything else.
I loved this place! It’s was designed and furnished so thoughtfully! I wanted to move in and never go home!!!! Great location too! I will definitely book again!
The apartment delivered and exceeded our expectations. Comfortable, thoughtful and well equipped for the quiet evening of cooking and relaxing we had hoped for. Thank you and we will return.
The excellent location and accommodations were beyond my expectations! Such a beautiful place in the heart of downtown Wilmington!! Paula is the best host I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with across all vacation rental platforms. Above average communication and excellent instructions for my stay! I will be a forever returning customer! I highly recommend any property available from this host to those who wish to explore what Wilmington is all about. Thank you for making my trip memorable! I absolutely fell in love with the matriarchal elephant theme of this place.
Everything about our stay was wonderful! Great host and the property was full of character and comfort! An overall very cool place to stay in the heart of walkable downtown Wilmington!
Hostess with the mostest! Paula was such a kind and wonderful host, she truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The apartment was not only thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, but also perfectly located in the center of town, making it so easy to get everywhere. Truly a hidden gem, we can’t recommend it enough!
What a wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I enjoyed our weekend in Wilmington and the location of the property was perfect. Walking distance to so many fun spots and even with all the bars around it was still quite. We did have an issue with the air conditioning since it was so hot while we were there, but Paula responded and took care of it. We will definitely come back.
We had the best time during our stay. Paula was very detailed in her instructions of how to check in, what was at the rental, and was prepared for anything else we might have needed during our stay. Would highly recommend staying here!!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was considered here down to the smallest detail. Having a parking spot was awesome and so was the proximity to walk to so many restaurants and the river. We will definitely be back to stay here again.
Absolutely gorgeous place with EVERYTHING you can imagine to make you feel right at home!! Paula really has a gem and so glad we got to enjoy it! Will definitely be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Paula R Warren
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
