Twenty-Five Years Serving Coastal Living
For twenty-five years, Seaside Furniture Gallery & Accents has been part of the rhythm of life along the Grand Strand.
What began in 2001 as a small family business has grown into a trusted name for coastal furniture and home décor, helping thousands of families shape the spaces where their lives unfold.
From beach cottages to full-time homes, Seaside has always focused on the same simple idea — that a home near the coast should feel welcoming, relaxed, and full of light.
Founded by siblings Julie Almeida and Pete Morgan, the store first opened in Calabash before eventually consolidating and growing its presence in North Myrtle Beach, becoming a staple for coastal style and interior inspiration along the Grand Strand.
Over the years, the business has expanded its showrooms and offerings, including a large design center and a major showroom in Little River that showcases thousands of square feet of coastal furniture and décor.
But the story has never been only about furniture.
It has been about the people.
Seaside has supported local events, community celebrations, and charitable efforts throughout the Grand Strand for years — quietly helping strengthen the communities they serve.
The families who walk through the doors are not simply customers.
They are neighbors.
And in a place where life moves with the tide and the seasons, that sense of community is part of what makes the Grand Strand feel like home.
Twenty-five years is a milestone worth celebrating — not just for a business, but for the people and community who helped build it.
Because in the end, every home holds a story.
And some of those stories begin with the simple act of choosing the place where life happens.
