Those are real searches, typed thousands of times a week, and they are not idle. They are the questions of somebody with a week off, a car and a plan. Every one of them has the same answer, and it is not the answer the search results imply.
The house on Cousins Beach is somebody's home. It sits in a gated neighbourhood outside Wilmington, North Carolina. It has never been a holiday let, there is no listing and no nightly rate, and the production that made it famous has publicly asked people to stop turning up outside it.
So here is the honest version of the trip: what you cannot do, what quietly stopped being true on the pages you will find first, and what a day at the real Cousins Beach actually costs.
The production asked people not to come
On 5 May 2026, the official Prime Video account for the show posted a request while the film was shooting in North Carolina:
"We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew. We're working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it's ready to be shared."
That was prompted by fans finding the locations and posting them after filming began in April 2026. It is not a legal notice and nobody is going to stop you standing on a public road. It is the people who make the thing asking you not to, in their own words, on their own channel.
We are taking them at their word, which is why this article does not print the address, the street, or the name of the neighbourhood. If that is the only thing you came for, we do not have it, and the reason is not coyness.
Why we will not print the address
The house is a private residence. Somebody sleeps there. Publishing a street address for a home — even one that appears on television — turns a search result into a queue of cars outside a stranger's window, and there is no version of that which helps you.
It is worth noting who else declines to give it out. Wilmington's official visitor bureau publishes a whole guide to the show's locations, and it names the beach, the pier, the historic site and two downtown restaurants. It does not name the house. That is not an oversight on the part of an organisation whose job is to bring tourists to Wilmington. It is a choice, and it is the right one.
The studio tour you will find advertised does not exist
This is the part that will actually cost you a morning.
Search for a Wilmington studio tour and you will land on pages selling the old Screen Gems tour: adults $12, students and military $10, seniors $8, children five to twelve $5, Saturdays and Sundays at noon and 2:00 p.m., with a walk through the standing sets from One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek.
None of that is current. One of the pages still selling it carries its own notice at the bottom: "Tours will resume in March 2015." That sentence has been sitting there for more than a decade, above a price list, at the top of the search results.
What actually happened: Cinespace Studios bought the Wilmington sound stages from EUE/Screen Gems in September 2023. It is a working production facility — ten stages, 152,000 square feet — and the show has shot there. Working stages do not run weekend walk-throughs while a production is in the building. Wilmington's own visitor bureau lists the studio as a landmark and offers no tour of it; it sends visitors on a self-guided route instead.
If you drive out there expecting a $12 ticket, you will find a working studio gate.
What Cousins Beach actually costs
The locations that are genuinely open to you are open on ordinary terms, and the ordinary terms have prices. These are read from the operators' own published schedules.
| What | Price |
|---|---|
| Fort Fisher State Historic Site, admission | Free |
| Wrightsville Beach, one-hour-limit space | $3 per hour |
| Wrightsville Beach, unlimited-time space, non-premium | $5 per hour |
| Wrightsville Beach, unlimited-time space, premium | $6 per hour |
| Wrightsville Beach, daily pass, non-premium | $25 |
| Wrightsville Beach, daily pass, premium | $30 |
| Wrightsville Beach, weekly pass | $210 |
Fort Fisher State Historic Site charges nothing to get in, and donations are welcome rather than expected. It is where Belly and Cam cycle.
Parking is the real budget line. The Town of Wrightsville Beach publishes its fee schedule, and paid parking runs every day from 1 March to 31 October — which is precisely the season you would want to go. A family arriving mid-morning and leaving after sunset is buying the daily pass, not feeding a meter: at eight hours, $5 an hour is $40 and the $25 daily pass is the cheaper instrument. The premium lots exist for proximity to the pier, and $30 buys you that walk.
Add it up honestly. Two adults, one car, a full beach day, a free historic site and lunch downtown: your unavoidable cost is the $25, and everything above that is food.
The one thing worth booking instead
There is no ticket to the show. There is a town that a lot of it was filmed in, and the town is the attraction — the visitor bureau's own list names Fort Fisher, the beach near Crystal Pier in Wrightsville Beach, and downtown spots including Hell's Kitchen and the Rooster & The Crow. Those are places you can walk into, sit down in, and pay for something.
That is a better day than idling outside a house you cannot enter, and it is the day the people who film there are asking you to have.
FAQ
Can you rent the Cousins Beach house? No. It is a private residence in a gated neighbourhood outside Wilmington, not a holiday let. There is no listing to book and no rental price, which is why searches for one return valuations and real-estate speculation rather than a booking page.
How much is the Summer I Turned Pretty house worth? Property-valuation sites carry estimates, and we are not repeating them. It is a private home; the number is not a price you could pay, and printing it only sharpens the incentive to go and look at it.
What is the Cousins Beach house address? We are not publishing it. Prime Video asked fans in May 2026 not to share locations or visit the set, and Wilmington's own visitor bureau leaves the house off its otherwise thorough location guide.
Can you tour the studio where it was filmed? No. The Wilmington sound stages were bought by Cinespace Studios in September 2023 and operate as a working production facility. The $12 public tour that still appears in search results has not run for years — the page advertising it says its own tours resume in March 2015.
How much was the old Screen Gems studio tour? The advertised prices were $12 for adults, $10 for students and military, $8 for seniors and $5 for children aged five to twelve. Those figures are still online. They are not a thing you can buy.
Where can you actually visit from the show? Fort Fisher State Historic Site, the beach near Crystal Pier at Wrightsville Beach, and downtown Wilmington locations named by the city's visitor bureau, including Hell's Kitchen and the Rooster & The Crow.
How much does it cost to park at Wrightsville Beach? $3 an hour in one-hour-limit spaces, $5 an hour in non-premium unlimited spaces and $6 in premium ones. A daily pass is $25 non-premium or $30 premium, and a weekly pass is $210. Paid parking is enforced every day from 1 March to 31 October.
Is Fort Fisher free? Yes. The state historic site charges no admission and accepts donations.
