Dolphin House | Modern 2BR w/ Fire Pit & Backyard Retreat Office

Welcome to Austin Dolphin House, a stylish and serene retreat located in the heart of Austin's vibrant South Lamar/South Congress district. Blending modern comfort with local charm, this thoughtfully designed home offers the perfect mix of convenience, relaxation, and fun. Enjoy evenings under the pergola by the fire pit, explore Austin's best dining and live music just minutes away, or cozy up in your private backyard oasis — this home was made for memorable stays.

Living Room:
Step into a bright, inviting living space filled with warm natural light and modern Texas flair. The open-concept living room features a plush sectional sofa, smart TV, and relaxed décor that makes you feel instantly at home. Whether you're unwinding after a day exploring South Congress or enjoying a movie night in, this space is designed for pure comfort.

Kitchen & Dining:
The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, and all the essentials to make cooking effortless. Brew your morning coffee before heading out to explore, or prepare a home-cooked meal to share at the indoor dining area. When the weather's nice (and it often is), step outside and dine al fresco under the lit gazebo or around the outdoor fire pit for a quintessential Austin evening.
