Pack your beach bag, because The Summer I Turned Pretty just hit the full 10,000 supporters on LEGO® Ideas. Designer Santheg reimagined Susannah Fisher's sun-soaked beach house from the hit Amazon Prime Video series in exactly 5,000 pieces, and the project now heads into official LEGO® review. Fans of Jenny Han's bestselling books and the show alike have every reason to celebrate.

The centrepiece is the beach villa itself, the emotional heart of Cousins Beach where friendships bloom and summers change everything. Santheg packed the model with a garden, cosy furniture, and a 6-stud-wide red off-road SUV parked out front. An open-back design lets you explore the house room by room (perfect for reenacting your favourite scenes, or inventing brand new ones). Who says you cannot write your own Cousins Beach story?

Now here is the part that will make any builder grin. Santheg squeezed 764 different parts across 53 colours into this build using a wide range of advanced techniques, and every one of the seven minifigures uses existing LEGO® elements. No new prints or stickers required (except one cheeky Easter egg). To hit the 5,000-piece limit, the designer trimmed plant density, rebuilt the base more efficiently, and swapped tiny slopes and tiles for bigger elements. The final cut? A single flower stem and one green flower. Talk about a close finish!

Santheg started this one before his Technical Museum project, got stuck, then rebuilt the whole thing from scratch around Christmas 2025. The spark came from his wife, who fell head over heels for the series and asked him to bring it to life in bricks. He watched all three seasons alongside her, skeptical at first, then completely won over.

With The Summer I Turned Pretty already through the 10,000-supporter finish line and into review, the LEGO® jury now decides whether Cousins Beach makes it to store shelves. Will your favourite seaside villa become an official set? Only one summer will tell.
