A Timeless Piece of Humarock
Welcome to Breakaway Beach House, a rare oceanfront retreat where more than a century of history meets the comforts of modern coastal living.
Originally built in 1911, this home has stood watch over the Atlantic for generations. In more than 115 years, it has been cared for by only two families—a remarkable testament to the love and legacy this special property has inspired. We are honored to continue that tradition while sharing it with guests from near and far.
As you walk through the home, you’ll immediately notice something that can’t be recreated in new construction. The layout, craftsmanship, and character reflect an earlier era, preserving the timeless charm that has made Humarock such a treasured seaside community for generations. Original details and cozy gathering spaces invite you to slow down, reconnect, and experience beach living the way it was meant to be.
While we’ve carefully preserved the home’s historic soul, we’ve completely reimagined it for today’s traveler. Every room has been thoughtfully renovated with modern finishes, premium amenities, updated technology, and the comforts expected in a luxury vacation home. The result is a one-of-a-kind experience that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly contemporary.
Step outside and you’ll discover what has captivated families for more than a century. The Atlantic Ocean is just beyond your front door, while the peaceful South River flows behind the home, offering easy access to kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and unforgettable sunsets. Walk to local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and ice cream before returning home to relax with the sound of the waves.
Whether you’re continuing a family tradition, celebrating life’s biggest moments, or simply escaping for a week at the beach, Breakaway Beach House offers something increasingly rare—a place where history, character, and modern luxury come together to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Welcome to Breakaway Beach House. We hope your family enjoys it as much as ours has—and continues a story that began in 1911.
