Onyx Rod Railing for a Coastal Cottage Retreat

Corolla, North Carolina
—
2026

This coastal retreat in the Outer Banks embraces a laid back, yet refined style that's perfect for a quiet retreat. The well-lit entryway is anchored by the dark Onyx Rod system, and softened by the continuous, uninterrupted White Oak handrail.
