Full stop and the word " it "

I often get confused when I see a sentence beginning with the word " it ". Can someone please explain the word " it's " rules regarding full stops and commas. For some reason it's just it, the word " it ", that I don't process with punctuation.

For example - She loves that house. It's so bright.

OR - She loves that house, it's so bright.

Which one example is correct and why?
