Current Renovations
We have been offered a unique opportunity to completely remodel some of the beach houses at Onslow Beach. While this will take a few of our facilities offline for a substantial amount of time, the timeframe is ideal, as it will occur in the closest thing we experience to an off season in Eastern North Carolina. We anticipate that it will take approximately six months to complete these renovations.
Plans include structural reinforcement, new flooring, new exteriors, all new furnishings and appliances, and extensive exterior improvements. These renovations are much needed--we appreciate your patience as we continue to improve the facilities at one of the most beautiful settings in North Carolina!
We will keep you posted on the renovations on a special section of our website at mccslejeune.com/renovations.
