Go inside Melissa Gorga’s Jersey Shore house
Since purchasing their $1 million home in Tom's River in 2019, Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, have spent a tremendous amount of time making memories at the shorefront estate with their family. The 3,500-square-foot home features six bedrooms and an expansive open floor plan.
In Season 11 of RHONJ, Melissa invited BravoTV.com over for a look inside her family’s seaside pad. During the tour, Melissa said, “You guys all know that I’m from the Jersey Shore, so going down here is like coming back to my roots.”
The house is accented by pale wooden floors and large windows that allow in lots of natural light. Not to mention, the property boasts stunning views.
Melissa also showed off her divine outdoor area that includes a covered patio, a pool with a waterslide, and a deck that leads out to the Atlantic Ocean. “This is the reason we brought the property; I can’t explain the feeling you get when you walk out in the morning,” she explains in the tour.
Other perks of Melissa’s “beach club” property include a large outdoor dining table, multiple firepits, and a bar that doubles as a pool house. (On Season 14, Episode 3 of RHONJ, Melissa gave the outdoor space an Italian makeover to celebrate Joe’s birthday.)
Over the years, Melissa and Joe have splurged on new toys and home decor items to spruce up their family vacation home. A few of those new additions include a speed boat, jet skis, and a doormat with “Missy G’s” engraved in cursive on it.

Go inside Jennifer Aydin’s Jersey Shore house
Less than two years after saying farewell to her Jersey Shore rental house, Jennifer and her husband, Bill Aydin, settled on a new five-floor beach home. Luckily, in 2023, the RHONJ ‘Wife provided us with a full tour of the “amazing” shore house.
“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,” Jennifer shared in the tour. “This is gonna force all the kids to sit at the table and make great memories.”
Each bedroom in the house comes with its own bathroom and balcony to make it “super convenient and comfortable” for everyone.
In Jennifer and Bill's bedroom, they have a king-sized bed and a large window that allows plenty of natural light. Their primary bathroom features separate sinks for both of them, a walk-in shower, and a “relaxing jacuzzi” tub. Additionally, the room is equipped with a “special” bidet.
But that’s not all! The home has “many perks,” including a shower in the foyer to get clean after a day at the beach and a “really cool bell” to notify the kids when it’s time to gather in their family room.

Go inside Rachel Fuda’s Jersey Shore beach house
Back in Season 13 of RHONJ, fans got their first glimpse at Rachel’s beach house when the cast took a trip to the Jersey Shore. We got to see the serene villa again on Season 14, Episode 2, which aired on May 12.
While Rachel’s loves her second home now, she recently told BravoTV.com that she and her husband, John Fuda, initially bought their shore house as an investment property in 2016.
"We bought it as an investment, and it sat on the market for a little bit without a buyer," she said. "[The] sale fell through… 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."
The Fuda family's vacation home boasts a spacious living room, a modern kitchen with a large marble island and white cabinets, and an outdoor dining area that offers a view of their pool.
During Rachel’s chat with BravoTV.com, she mentioned that the house still needs additional decor before it's up to her standards. "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,” she explained.
As for the backyard space, Rachel noted that she and John are planning to spruce it up more, saying, “We have pool chairs, but we want to put a pizza kitchen out there [and] a bar [to] make it so we can entertain."
