About this property

The Loft at the Lost Dog

This clean and airy studio is the perfect getaway for your Folly Beach vacation. Centrally located in town above the Lost Dog Cafe, this unit has many features: a galley kitchen if you have to cook, two comfortable window seats for daydreaming, dining and living area, full bath, stackable washer and dryer and large sleeping area with a king size bed. You will be surprised at how peaceful and quiet it is... Come to Folly and get lost at the Dog!
Well-behaved pet welcome with small fee.


The official check in is at 4:00 pm at which time the Lost Dog Cafe is closed. There is parking available in the Lost Dog lot and the adjacent lot. Also, you can find spots on East Indian and come in from the back. It is important to remember to always park with all four tires off the pavement and facing in the right direction. The City of Folly Beach is very active in handing out parking tickets across the entire island.

Excellent place to stay

The Loft at the Lost Dog is an excellent place to stay. Great location and definitely enough room. The owner stocked the place well and we had everything we needed. The sound from the restaurant was not easy to hear. It was great to be able to walk down to the best breakfast spot in Folly!

We always enjoy our stay at the Lost Dog. It’s convenient to everything that you want to do on Folly. A short walk to the beach and all the great restaurants. But the shortest walk to the best and most popular in town, The Lost Dog!

Great spot for our getaway

Cute loft in the middle of Folly. Easy walk to the beach, pier, food and shops. Just upstairs to a great breakfast and/or lunch at Lost Dog! We grabbed a coffee before heading for a beach walk a few days. Shower was a little small but accommodating. And great to have laundry while traveling. Thank you!

Tons of space, great location

We were impressed by the size of this cute space! Lots of room to hang out and various seating areas as well as a small high top table for eating. We didn't cook, but the kitchen had the usual utensils and whatnot. Coffee maker and filters but no coffee provided. Great location—close to the main street but nicely on the "outskirts" so there wasn't tons of foot traffic. Definitely gets busy outside in the mornings with people waiting for breakfast at the cafe. Definitely dog-friendly. There was dog hair all over the floor when we got there but we easily found the vacuum in the closet and cleaned up!

Very convenient location and peaceful. Very minimal noise from business below. Responsive management and breakfast/lunch, which is also very good, is just a staircase away.

Perfect vacation spot for dog owners!!

My husband and I just returned home from visiting Folly Beach with our golden retriever. We stayed at the studio above The Lost Dog Cafe and had such an amazing time. The owner was very nice and we loved being just minutes away from the public beach access, as well as, downtown. If you don't want to leave your four legged family member home when you go on vacation, Folly Beach is the place to go!
