Overview & Photos

Gallery

JUST FEATURED ON HGTV'S BAHAMAS LIFE! "Over The Rainbow" Vistas (unit 2A at the Buttonwood Reserve Oceanfront Condominium Resort) is a bottom-floor unit, that includes a full-surround two-ocean view, facing west over the Caribbean for the sunset and east to the Atlantic for the sunrise. Enjoy stunning ocean views from every room through eight-foot glass sliders and six-foot bay windows. The expansive private decks also feature spectacular sea views in every direction.

Buttonwood Reserve has access to two beaches. On the Atlantic side is a world-class, 3-mile-long pink-sand beach, pristine without a single house. It is accessed via our private, golf-carts only driveway. All condominiums at Buttonwood come with access to a fleet of golf carts at no charge. On the Caribbean side of our property, almost in your front yard, is a second beach. This beach is small and rather rocky, so not so aesthetic, but the water is as calm as a lake and this shore is perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing.

Our resort-style pool is just steps from your condominium. This beautiful landscaped pool is heated for comfortable swimming year round.

We just completed a new pickleball court!

Our mini-gym is equipped with a multifunction smith machine cage with precision linear bearings, an Olympic weight rack, dip station, and a cable routed pulley system. Guests also have access to dumbbells and a fitness/yoga mat. This is an open-air gym (fully roofed and with three walls).

The professionally decorated interior of this vacation rental is elegantly furnished, modern, warm and comfortable. The east end of the great room features a modern, open-plan, luxurious kitchen finished in stainless steel and black granite. The kitchen, dining area, and living room have magnificent ocean views in every direction, with water sparkling as far as the eye can see.

The master bedroom is features a large upholstered window seat with magnificent panoramic views of the Caribbean, a perfect spot to relax with a book or morning coffee, or watch the sunset over the sea. The master is furnished with a king bed and equipped with an en-suite full bath. The master has a private door leading to the deck over the Caribbean.

The guest bedroom also features a large window seat with a spectacular view, this one overlooking the Atlantic. The bedroom has a full en-suite bath (which can be accessed from the hall as well). It is furnished with twin beds that can be converted into a king.

Buttonwood Reserve comes with kayaks and a paddle board for use on the sea or in our pond. Bicycles are also provided. Our retired groundskeeper, Patrick, is an expert fisherman and will take you out fishing in his boat for a half day or full day (extra charges apply.) Grill your catch fresh on our outdoor gas grill near the pool.

Buttonwood Reserve is a 10 minute walk from three restaurants: Delish, Leorose Sunset Beach Bar and Grill, and Mel's Snack Shack.

Just a mile from Buttonwood Reserve is the village of James Cistern, which has three grocery stores, a town dock where the fisherman bring their catch every day, a produce stand, and Kel D's sports bar. James Cistern is also the home of Stubb’s famous barbecue, now called Tamarind Tree Grill, every Friday and Saturday, which is not to be missed.

Buttonwood Reserve is an easy 15-minute drive from Governor’s Harbour, the main town on the island. Governor’s Harbour has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor.

Other restaurants in the area include Pascal’s at boutique resort Sky Beach Club, Tippy’s (international and fusion), 1648 Bar & Grille at French Leave (fine dining for lunch and dinner), The Buccaneer, The Rainbow Inn (steaks and Monday night brick oven pizza night), the Front Porch, Hot Buns bakery and sandwich shop, and Da Perk Café (café and sandwich shop).

Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is safe and friendly.

"My family and I spent last week on beautiful Eleuthera at Buttonwood Resort. There was so much we loved about the island and the resort. The lodgings were incredible! Everything we needed was provided. Matthew Simon answered any questions we had quickly. It was nice to have someone at the property during the day. The blue waters and beaches are unsurpassed.

The property is very unique in that you get to enjoy both the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean without every leaving the property. The condo comes with a golf cart that you can explore the property. The condo has all the amenities that you need to enjoy yourself. The property has a great pool for the kids to swim and plenty of lounge chairs to relax. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to make your stay enjoyable whether it was recommending a local restaurant, grocery store, nearest ATM or gas station, or even a local beach to explore.

We just returned from a week's stay at beautiful Buttonwood. The condo was very nicely decorated, very comfortable and perfectly suited to our family of 4. Its central location was great for exploring beaches both north and south of James Cistern. The pool was a perfect way to end each day. We took advantage of every amenity Buttonwood offered - private golf cart for enjoying the spectacular Atlantic beach, kayaking and paddle boarding on the Caribbean side. The manager Tia was so responsive and welcoming and caretaker James a most hospitable host. We highly recommend this property for exploring the beauty of Eleuthera.

Buttonwood was a fantastic place to stay for my husband and me. The decor is light, airy and so well done. Everything you might need was in the condo and the availability of the golf cart was so nice to take to the beautiful beach. The caretaker, Sonia, was helpful and kind and the rest of the staff including James and Perry were also welcoming and friendly. We had a great time on the island and would recommend Buttonwood to anyone looking for a beautifully-maintained home with gorgeous views.

We rented the entire Buttonwood Reserve compound for a group of 16 friends. The place is amazing, and perfect for large groups who want a little more privacy than a large resort would allow. The condos were clean and stocked with all the items you'll need to survive your vacation. There is an amazing private beach on the Atlantic side, which was one of our favorite places to chill. I highly recommend Buttonwood, as it really is one of the best places on Eleuthera.

We just returned from a fabulous stay at Buttonwood Reserve in Eleuthera. This property is very tastefully decorated with excellent views of the Caribbean Sea to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Sun rises and sun sets are spectacular! We could not have been more pleased with our unit "Over the Rainbow". It is spacious, private, and offers beautiful water views from every window. The property, which sits on an elevated ridge, is well maintained and centrally located in close proximity to restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed the pool, which is heated, and we visited several unforgettable nearby beaches. We especially loved our trip to Governor's Harbor where we enjoyed breakfast at The Buccaneer and dinner at the 1648 restaurants. Eleuthera is a unique place with lots of local Bahamian charm. You can definitely feel the love here!
