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.

Another great stay…

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!

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!

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!

Relax - It’s Folly!

This is the fourth year we have stayed in the loft. It is clean and comfortable and just a short walk to the beach. There’s nothing better than waking up to the smell of coffee and bacon coming from below! We will definitely be back!

Great loft!

If you are looking for a getaway week-end or week, then this is the spot! Spacious, comfortable and convenient to the beach, nearby shops and restaurants. The Attic is above the Lost Dog (great for breakfast or lunch!) We were pleasantly surprised how quiet it was during business hours. The loft was tidy, well equipped (linens, towels, beach chairs, washer/dryer, etc) and nicely decorated. I had a concern about parking but that was never a problem. I can’t say enough good things so I will leave it with just one word: wonderful!

Cute spot

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It is more spacious than the photos, decorated wonderfully, and well stocked. It was very clean and good location. Although located above The Lost Dog Cafe, you barely hear the restaurant below,(never an issue) I was surprised because they are busy. The bands playing at the Washout next door are more of a concern as far as noise. They do have a noise cancelling machine in the apartment. They have beach towels and chairs for your use as well. I would recommend this loft for a stay at Folly.
