Rachel Fuda Explains Why Her Jersey Shore Beach House Looks "Very Staged"
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member is sharing new details on her vacation home.
Rachel Fuda is opening up about her Jersey Shore beach house.
Speaking with BravoTV.com in a recent interview, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member noted that she and her husband, John Fuda, bought their shore house as an investment property back in 2016.
"We bought it as an investment, and it sat on the market for a little bit without a buyer," she shared. "[The] sale fell through, so John and I were kind of like, 'When are we going to get an opportunity like this again?' The house was already renovated, so [we thought] 'Let’s just keep it.' So we didn’t really plan on having a shore house. It kind of just like worked out that way."
She added: "We have to finish it. It’s not done. It’s very staged feeling, [as] if I was showing it to somebody to sell it...it doesn’t have that warmth to it yet."

Where to Watch and Stream The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14
In addition to Rachel sharing glimpses of the place on her Instagram, we also saw the gorgeous property on RHONJ Season 14, Episode 2, which aired on May 12.
In the interview with BravoTV.com, Rachel noted she needs to "hang things on the walls" and that her outside pool deck is "not finished" yet to her liking. "It's literally empty, there’s nothing there," she shared. "We have pool chairs, but we want to put a pizza kitchen out there [and] a bar [to] make it so we can entertain."
While the New Jersey mom noted that she likes having a "blank canvas" for parties, she still wants to have more decorative elements in the home when family and friends visit over the summer.
"We get three months to use it, and I love it so much and we’re down there every single weekend that we can possibly be there," she revealed. "So, when it comes time to fix it, we don’t want to take away from our time that we use it."
Melissa Gorga and Jennifer Aydin's Jersey Shore Houses
In addition to Rachel, both Melissa Gorga and Jennifer Aydin also have homes on the shore, the likes of which we witnessed in Season 14, Episode 2, and that we've toured before.
In 2021, Melissa gave BravoTV.com a full tour of the stunning Jersey Shore vacation home she owns with her husband, Joe Gorga. Captured in the video is a stunning view of the 3,500-square-foot house, which has six bedrooms and an expansive open floor plan.
Additionally, Jennifer shared a peek inside her "amazing" shore house as well in 2023. The beautiful home features five floors and a "living space" that includes a living room, kitchen, and dining area.
“It’s a lot smaller than what we’re used to, but I’m actually excited about it because I feel like it’s got a more [cozy] feel," she shares in the video tour. "This is gonna force all the kids to sit at the table and make great memories.”
