    Inside the Real-Life ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Beach House—and How Much It’s Worth Today

    With the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty’s third season still fresh—and a movie now on the horizon—there’s never been a better moment to revisit the iconic Fisher family beach house. Based on author Jenny Han’s beloved, bestselling trilogy, the hit Prime Video series drops us straight into the golden, sun-soaked world of Cousins Beach, where Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung) spends her summers juggling love triangles, family bonds, and the not-so-simple task of choosing between brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).

    The house may be a star in its own right, but viewers are still asking: where is Cousins Beach in real life? And just how much would Beck’s Beach House cost if it hit the market today? Well, here’s a closer look at The Summer I Turned Pretty home that’s captured millions of imaginations.

    Where is the real house from The Summer I Turned Pretty?

    While Cousins Beach exists only in Han’s imagination, its real-world counterpart is Wilmington, North Carolina—a coastal city often dubbed “Hollywood East” or “Wilmywood” for its long history as a filming hub. The house that brings Conrad and Jeremiah’s family home to life—known in the series as Beck’s Beach House—is tucked within the exclusive Porters Neck Plantation, a gated community centered around a private golf course.

    Named for the late matriarch Susannah “Beck” Fisher (played by Rachel Blanchard), the property serves as the primary summer residence for the Fisher-Conklin family, hosting iconic moments from Fourth of July clambakes and fireworks to Belly’s annual birthdays, complete with Mickey Mouse pancakes.

    The shows real-life home is located in Wilmington, North Carolina.

    While the home’s now instantly recognized exterior appears onscreen, all interior scenes—including the kitchen, bedrooms, and living spaces—were recreated on sound stages, leaving the property itself a private residence.

    Though fans cannot step inside the home or on the property, Wilmington offers plenty of ways to experience the magic of Cousins Beach. Carolina, Kure, and Wrightsville beaches served as scenic backdrops, while the Cape Fear Country Club and the downtown shops captured Wilmington’s small-town charm. The city has also played host to other teen dramas, including Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill, as well as blockbuster films such as Iron Man 3 and Scream 5.

    Only the exterior of the waterfront home was used for filming.

    How much would the Fisher family’s Cousins Beach house cost today?

    According to online resources, the property last changed hands in 2011 for $1.5 million. Considering its waterfront location, generous size, and amenities, broker Stephanie Kitchens of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices estimates that it could easily fetch upwards of $3 million today. 

    Its Cape Cod–inspired exterior—cedar shakes, infinity pool, private dock, and 33-foot boat slip—perfectly captures the quintessential East Coast summer aesthetic Han envisioned. Production designers went to extraordinary lengths to bring the vision to life: several palm trees were removed, hydrangeas (Laurel’s favorite) were planted in abundance, and the grounds were meticulously landscaped to evoke a romantic Northeast vibe.

    “[Han] wanted that Cape Cod look, so it had to have cedar shakes,” series location manager Lindsay Fort told People. Teresa Mastropierro, production designer for season one, added, “Our greens department literally transformed the landscape around the house. I think we bought every last hydrangea plant in the state. Susannah loves to garden, and there are always fresh flowers throughout the house.”

    According to Realtor.com, the median listing price in Wilmington as of August 2025 was $500,000. Luxury properties, however, reach far higher: the Cypress House, developed by former NFL kicker Connor Barth, is among the city’s priciest listings at $8.5 million, with other standout waterfront estates asking between $10 and 12 million.

    Inside Reese Witherspoon’s $36 Million Property Portfolio

    Reese Witherspoon may have started as America’s sweetheart, but she’s since become a Hollywood powerhouse with serious business and real estate savvy. Over the past three decades, she’s built a career that spans acting, producing, and entrepreneurship, moving seamlessly between box-office hits, prestige television, and passion projects. That success has also translated into some of the industry’s top paychecks—at least $1 million per episode for television, including $1.2 million for The Morning Show, which she also produces.

    In 2012, the Legally Blonde star cofounded Pacific Standard, the company behind acclaimed films like Wild and Gone Girl. Four years later, she transformed it into Hello Sunshine, a women-driven media giant. In 2021, the company was sold for over $900 million to a Blackstone-backed media firm, with Witherspoon joining the board, staying involved in daily operations, and retaining significant equity. The company has delivered hits like Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere and developed high-profile adaptations, including Where the Crawdads Sing and Netflix’s From Scratch.

    Her empire also extends to Reese’s Book Club, which counts 2.1 million followers and has seen 42 of its 50 picks land on The New York Times Best Sellers list—providing a built-in audience for future screen projects.

    Off-screen, the Academy Award winner has built a reputation as a real estate aficionado, buying, selling, and flipping homes across Los Angeles and her hometown of Nashville for the past two decades. Much like fellow celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, she’s developed a knack for turning high-end properties into investments. In recent years alone, she’s sold a Los Angeles property for $21.5 million—after paying under $16 million in 2020—and offloaded a Nashville home for nearly double what she paid in 2018.

    Many of these properties aren’t full-time residences but rather investments, retreats, or future projects. Still, each reflects Witherspoon’s sharp eye for style, comfort, and long-term value. From storybook Southern estates to sleek West Coast escapes and Bahamian hideaways, the homes of her collection are covered in more detail below.
