Overview & Photos
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. 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.

Joel Feid recommends this vacation rental.
Buttonwood was a great spot for a family visit! The home was clean with plenty of kitchen equipment to make meals. Paddleboards were a plus to have for the calm Caribbean side. Golf carts and bikes made it easy to cruise through nature and get to the Atlantic. Ideal spot for sunrise and both beaches were always empty. Pam was very helpful and responsive with questions leading up to the trip and Brett was readily available for questions on site.

We brought a team of youth and adults down to the island to do some mission work. The accommodations were great for our large group - the main lodge provided enough room for our large group time and meals. Matt, Brett, and the entire team were super responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

"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.

We loved the location which was close to everything. We learned alot from other vacations on good places to eat with views. The pool was not ready to swim in for several days which may bother some vacationers

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We are sorry about the pool issue. It has been addressed.

Michael Barkman recommends this vacation rental.
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.
