Before & After: Katie and Rick Link’s original weekend house was a petite, one-story cottage; (right) the new house came a decade later, complete with an updated exterior and roomier living spaces.
Welcome, Friends: The breezy back porch is wrapped in blonde shake siding and outfitted for the Links’ many informal gatherings with vintage rattan furniture and a farm table.
Room With a View: Just off the sunny breakfast room (above) is an open kitchen, which is anchored by an expansive walnut island and zinc pendants from South of Market.

In Sync: The floors on the back porch were stained the same color as the interior wood to maintain continuity between indoors and out.
Leisure Suite: A painted pergola and a checker-board of travertine pavers edge the swimming pool.
A timber and iron daybed hangs in the cool ground-floor patio.
Grass Roots: The dock stretches some 400 feet into the quiet Stono River marsh.
