A Summer Home is the source for commercial furniture in the Myrtle Beach area for vacation rental property owners. We feature fun, beachy furniture that stands up to the wear and tear of coastal rentals. With that said, we understand the demands that furniture in vacation rental properties face, and our collections are manufactured with these needs in mind. They are designed to make a great first impression on guests while continuing to look their best over time and with use. All of our commercial upholstery line is manufactured in Conway, SC by our parent company Johnson Furniture Manufacturing Company.
A Summer Home’s signature product lines are our exclusive contract upholstery, case good, and drapery collections which celebrate the uniqueness of our beachside location with coastal patterned fabrics, classic beach home furniture groups, and beachy accent and décor items. Each product line utilizes commercial components to offer the best possible performance with the heavy wear and tear experienced in a rental setting. All aspects of our exclusive collections’ designs are the same quality utilized by major hotel chains. Our products are made in the USA with quick production and delivery times to keep your guests comfortable and your rentals on track.
We pride ourselves on providing friendly service and establishing long-lasting relationships with our customers. We treat our customers like family. We supply complimentary fabric samples and our comprehensive website allow condo owners to work through property updates remotely from home. So why buy your furniture from a salesman with a brief case when you can buy it directly from the manufacturer?
The story of A Summer Home Inc. begins with the formation of our parent company, Johnson Furniture Manufacturing Company, in 1947. Our grandfather, Grier Johnson Sr., founded the parent company in Conway, SC to build furniture for the local homeowners. After Hurricane Hazel destroyed the Grand Strand in October of 1954, the Myrtle Beach hospitality industry exploded and Johnson Furniture had a new clientele – the hotels and motels along the beach. Following in his footsteps, our father, Grier Johnson Jr., took over the company in 1970 and relocated our manufacturing facilities to the Myrtle Beach area in order to maintain closer ties to this new customer base. Grier Jr. was instrumental in refocusing our company mission of manufacturing commercial grade furniture in order to withstand the heavy use of hotel guests. His children, Tracy, Jess and Norton, joined the company in the 1990s. With the relocation of our manufacturing facility back to Conway, SC in 2006, our sister, Tracy Johnson Graham, formed A Summer Home Inc. in order to maintain a local presence in the Myrtle Beach area and provide condo owners and hotels with a beautiful and convenient shopping location. Following her untimely death in 2016, Norton stepped into Tracy’s role while continuing to honor her legacy and commitment to offering the highest quality products and our clients.
