Overview & Photos
"Kool Jumbey" Vistas (unit 1C at the Buttonwood Reserve Oceanfront Condominium Resort) is a top-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 for riding around the property or to town, less than a mile away. 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. Other amenities include AC throughout, ceiling fans, and superfast Starlink WIFI.
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.

Julia van der Zeeuw recommends this vacation rental.
Wonderful stay in 1C at Buttonwood condos. Very attentive caretaker who had great recommendations for our last minute requests. Location cannot be beat - having the Caribbean and Atlantic at your doorstep was amazing. Pool was a dream, golf cart was a wonderful bonus to get all of our beach gear from the condo to the Atlantic.
Perfect!

Erin Brown recommends this vacation rental.
Overall a great stay at Buttonwood- customer service from Matt and Brett was great- very responsive and helpful with planning. We stayed last week with two families (2 top floor units)- a group of 4 adults and 6 kids. We had could see both the Caribbean and Atlantic from both porches! Golf carts were very fun and we played at the Pickleball courts daily. Pool was nice when not at a beach. Although private and very beautiful, we could not swim on the Atlantic side because the waves were too big each day we were there and were too dangerous. Caribbean side condo beach was more swimmable but rocky. About a 20-30 min drive to Governors Harbour which had a lot of the nicer restaurants. Definitely rent a car but make sure you drive slightly in the middle- we hit a pothole and blew a tire on our 2nd day. For dinners- we really liked 1648 (go for sunset), Buccaneer and Tippys. We also enjoyed LeoRose and Delish if we wanted something more local and beach bar food-the people at these bars are so lovely- its close to condo but kind of hard to walk to with kids since you're walking along Queens Hwy. Our condo itself was a little more run down then we had expected. It did not have two full couches in living area as pictured so our family of four (2 teens) could not sit comfortably at night watching tv. The rug had a lot of stains and there were finger prints all over the appliances when we arrived. Kitchen had most things for meal prep but the floors were warped and coming apart and the sink faucet sprayed everywhere whenever it was turned on. The power was out when we arrived so the cleaning/check in was delayed-maybe they didn't have as much time to clean as usual. Power goes out a lot but it always comes back in and is normal for the island so we just learned to embrace it. It's the perfect place to stay if you have multiple families. Overall we would recommend Buttonwood but maybe pick a different unit next time or the main lodge.
- Manager Response:
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We agree that this unit needs some work, and in fact it has new flooring going in and other improvements scheduled as soon as the busy season is over. Please note that the Atlantic beach does not always have waves. And when it does, they are safe for swimming and body surfing unless there is a storm at sea.

Abigail Pulcinella recommends this vacation rental.
We loved staying at the Buttonwood. The unit was exactly as described, perfect for our family of four. The views were absolutely stunning - we could see both the sunrise and the sunset from our balconies. We loved all of the amenities on the property, including the paddleboards, golf carts, beach chairs and umbrellas, the pool and pickleball! The property management company and caretaker were awesome and super responsive. And finally, the location on Eleuthera was great - there were a few close restaurants

Buttonwood condo is an excellent property that offers everything you need for any extended vacation on the island. We really enjoyed the beach across the street and having the kayaks and paddle boards was great. We enjoyed fishing off the point and the snorkeling was great at this beach too. The pool was nice and we enjoyed that as well as our rides on the golf cart to the Atlantic beach. We thoroughly enjoyed being so close to Delish and LeoRose as those were our regular places we ate. It was also nice tha
