3 Airbnbs Just Like The Summer I Turned Pretty House
If you've been watching "The Summer I Turned Pretty" or loved the book series, you know all about Cousins Beach and the gorgeous beach house owned by the Fisher family. The series, set in Massachusetts but filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, follows Isabella Conklin, lovingly called "Belly" by her friends and family. Over the summer, Belly struggles with feelings for her long-time friends Conrad and Jeremiah, as well as another boy, Cam. As romance ensues, the house stays the same with its large eat-in kitchen, stunning patio, and lighted infinity pool.
Anyone reading or watching "The Summer I Turned Pretty" wouldn't mind spending some time in this iconic beach home. Unfortunately, the house is a private residence that is not currently for rent as per Atlas of Wonders. Though, if you are looking to stay in a similar estate to live out your summer fantasy, some similar options are available for rent on Airbnb. Let's look at three Airbnbs ready to fuel your next romantic vacation.
A three-bedroom house on Follins Bay
A waterfront Airbnb in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, has a similar aesthetic to the house Belly shares with Conrad, Jeremiah, and the rest of the family. Though it doesn't have a pool for her nightly swims, the house does have backyard access to saltwater Follins Bay, which is at the headwaters of the Bass River, as noted by Airbnb. The house, which is bright and spacious, has plenty of room to dance, hang out, or read a good book.
With three bedrooms and four beds, there is plenty of room for you to bring the whole family and a guest or two. One bedroom, similar to the set up of Belly's room in the books by Jenny Han, has two beds perfect for siblings or best friends sharing the space. Each room is decorated in a beachy style, complete with nautical-themed throw pillows and carefully chosen art reflecting life on Cape Cod. Along with some other great features, this Airbnb estate has a flower garden, a large updated kitchen, a long private dock, and plenty of seats to sit in while you watch the shore.
An oceanfront estate located on an island
In Saint Helena Island, South Carolina, you can find an oceanfront Airbnb property with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. With direct access to Harbor Island Beach on the Atlantic Ocean, you can live out your dreams of playing beach volleyball or running into the ocean with your friends. The newly remodeled home can fit up to 19 guests, so large groups can comfortably split the price of $1,200 per night. There is plenty of parking out front, and the spacious home easily accommodates each guest with ample seating areas, large patios, and hidden storage.
This Airbnb listing explains that you also receive access to a shared pool, several sports courts, a play area for children, and a total gym during your stay. The estate is a part of a larger gated community that guests can explore using the three-row golf cart provided by the host. You may also enjoy more activities all over the island, such as award-winning restaurants and small boutique shops, or you can book a tour to watch dolphins and fish.
A vast property with several private swimming spots
One massive eight-bedroom estate with private beach access in Corolla, North Carolina, is ready to host your romantic drama. Like Belly, you can ponder your relationship with your long-time crushes while swimming in the private pool, taking a dip in the hot tub, or walking along the beach right in the backyard. According to some reviews of the home on Airbnb, the property is charmingly worn, much like Belly points out about Susannah's beach house in the series. However, the home is still well-maintained and is currently receiving some renovations to make it more comfortable.
Inside this rental beach home, you'll find many amenities to make your stay luxurious, such as a theater room, a recreation room, a wet bar, and a large eat-in kitchen with a nearby dining room with plenty of seating. This Airbnb is perfect for large family gatherings during the holidays. You might consider booking your trip over the Fourth of July so you can watch the fireworks from the beach like Conrad and Belly.
