Melissa Gorga's Jersey Shore Home Has a Miniature Lighthouse

Melissa Gorga has spent plenty of time "down the shore" in recent weeks. And while she and her family kick back at their coastal vacation home, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom has given her Instagram followers an eyeful of her gorgeous beach retreat. 

Inside, the $1 million home has a sleek kitchen with gleaming quartz countertops, as well as an airy living room filled with chic modern furniture. But on sunny days, the Gorga family takes their bonding outside — which happens to be equally inviting. 

Melissa's Jersey Shore home has a patio that offers the most tranquil views of the Barnegat Bay. We've seen the "tie dye skies" spread above the deck at sunset, but the space looks pretty inviting in broad daylight, too. 

In a recent Instagram Story, Melissa shared a peek at happy hour on her Jersey Shore deck. Clutching a glass with a fruity drink, the boutique owner posed in front of a quaint miniature lighthouse. Leaning back against the fixture in a Moschino swimsuit, Melissa was a total summer Sunday mood:
