Antonia Gorga understands there’s no place like home — especially when it boasts next-level amenities and jaw-dropping views.
After celebrating the 4th of July weekend, The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter returned to TikTok to share another glimpse at her family’s ultra-luxe shore house. Antonia posted footage of the property’s exterior, focusing on its sprawling back deck complete with a full bar and kitchen area, an in-ground swimming pool, a firepit, and rows of sun loungers.
“Romanticizing my shore house,” she captioned the July 7 post. “Like It’s Heaven.”
Melissa and Joe Gorga’s Shore House Timeline
Antonia’s parents — Melissa Gorga and her husband, Joe Gorga — purchased the seaside digs for nearly $1 million in 2019 and listed it for $2.1 million roughly two years later. Although there was a lot of interest in the Barnegat Bay home, Melissa and Joe weren’t quite ready to say goodbye and quickly pulled the house off the market.

“We put it on the market [and] within three days we got three full-price offers,” Melissa told BravoTV.com in 2022. “I got cold feet, and I did not take the offers… So for everyone who is asking, I’m not selling the shore house. Not this year.”

Well, three years after the initial listing, Melissa said she and her family had no intentions of selling the property, regardless if they buy another vacation home in the Hamptons.
“We’re not going to sell the shore house,” the boutique owner recently told The Daily Dish. “I think I decided that even if we get something in the Hamptons as well, we’re not going to. I have the best property for where I grew up. And I’m like, you can’t rebuy the piece of property that I have in Toms River.
“My roots are there. I went to high school there,” she continued. “I just said to Joe this is actually something…we’re going to hold on to this and give it to our kids’ kids. There’s no reason to let it go as of now. Thank God. So right now we’re going to keep it, and I mean, we’ll see if it ends up being empty constantly and no one ever goes there, then maybe. But for right now, we’re still using it.”

Antonia shared the shore house update as she prepares to enter her sophomore year at the University of Delaware, located about two and a half hours away from her Jersey home. Melissa recently revealed that her daughter has yet to select a major but was eyeing three areas of study: media, marketing, and “maybe communications.”
“She’s dabbling in all three,” the Jersey ’Wife said. “I do think she’s leaning towards marketing, believe it or not. The last she told me she was leaning towards marketing. So that works. We can use all the marketing we can get in our family.”
