Overview & Photos
"Cupids Key" Vistas (unit 2C 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 is a 10 minute walk from three restaurants: Delish, Leorose Sunset Beach Bar and Grill, and Mel's Snack Shack.
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.
There is also a queen size sofa bed in the living room.
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.
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. Three restaurants are within walking distance!
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).

Kathryn Stannard recommends this vacation rental.
We chose to stay at Buttonwood Condo Resort for it’s central location making easier to explore the whole of Eleuthera and also for view of both Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Amazing to watch sun rise and sunsets.
Spacious modern accommodation with all mod cons and nicely furnished (except brown outside dinning table).
Lovely outside balconies to enjoy views.
Clean but needs some maintenance work to bring up to good standard eg. Kitchen floor. Issues raised dealt with quickly by Bre

Overall a good stay again this year. Brett was very helpful with suggestions and responsive in making sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was missing utensils, dishes, cleaning supplies. Always liked that Buttonwood is fairly close to some of our favorite beaches and restaurants on the island. Pickleball court was in great condition

This was our second visit to Buttonwood Reserve. It is a lovely small complex that offers everything you need! It is on the Caribbean Ocean (but it is rocky/coral) which has beautiful blue clear quite waters. They provide golf carts to make a short drive to the Atlantic Ocean to a private beautiful beach which is usually empty! The Atlantic Ocean has waves, and seems a bit more windy. The pickleball court is great! We had another great visit to one of our favorite islands.

Peaceful. Beautiful property. You are surrounded by nature. The property is in great shape and the management team was incredible to work with from the day I made my reservations to the day after I left when they reached out to make sure we were well.

Buttonwood was the perfect spot for our family of 27 people. We all gathered in the main house for meals and every family had their own space.

We had such a great stay at buttonwood. The location was perfect for us being north of governors harbor. We loved all of the amenities including the pool, chairs and umbrellas for the beach, the golf carts, and our favorite part: THE COMPLETELY PRIVATE BEACH for miles and miles. I used a drone to check it out, there is miles and miles of pink sand beach all to yourself. like no one else.
The apartment was perfect for us with views of both oceans and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was also a n

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!

Great experience at Buttonwood. Pictures we viewed when making our decision were accurate. Wonderful private beach that is part of miles and miles of remote beaches. Easy to grab one of buttonwood’s golf cart, for free, to take to the private/remote beach. Real close to two bar/restaurants that certain days of week have music. One of thee places, Delich, has unbelievable staff and food right on the beach!! Very nice kitchen we used to cook once in a while. Beautiful views from patio to watch

Buttonwood Reserve was an excellent choice for us. Very clean, plenty of amenities, walkable to the Caribbean & Atlantic beaches, and food/beverage. Location is great for exploring numerous beaches and other island feature within a 1/2 hour drive north or south.

Carol Tuck recommends this vacation rental.
We rented the entire complex. It was a great place for a family reunion. The view was magnificent and it was really fantastic to be able to go to the roaring Atlantic and the calm Caribbean. The golf carts were a great help and there were plenty of kayaks and paddle boards available.
There are several things though that were inconvenient. The airport and the only food market of any size is a 40 minute drive. If the supply boat hasn't been in recently it is out of stock of some things.
Owner response:
We have a saying: "Eleuthera, it's not for everyone." It's true that food is much more expensive--three times more expensive is of course an exaggeration, but the general point is true. And the restaurants are also expensive. But on the other hand the island is beautiful, unspoiled, friendly, safe, and there is no one on the beach but the people you came with. That is why we love it. There are plenty of good restaurants within a 15 minute drive of Buttonwood including LeoRose, Pascal's, the Rainbow Inn, and 1648. But you do have to drive some distance to get anywhere on this rural, spread out island. It's not for everyone.
Great stay!

Jill Nagle recommends this vacation rental.
We were with a group and rented all of Buttonwood, including the Main House. Its a beautiful property and it accommodated our large family fabulously. The golf carts were perfect (& needed!) for the trek to the beautiful private Atlantic beach. The kayaks and paddle board were a great addition. The condo seemed to have all the amenities you would need (although we didnt cook all way.) Brett and Smitty were available if we needed anything and took care of us. Despite needing bug spray, wed stay at Buttonwood again.

Tara Kelly recommends this vacation rental.
Our family of 14 stayed at ButtonWood Reserve for 9 days and it was divine. We rented the main lodge for gathering and two additional condos. Matt and Tara were beyond helpful in getting us all the information we needed in preparation for our trip...helping with suggestions for excursions, chefs, photographers and more. The condos are nicely decorated, super clean, beds are comfy and the main lodge is an ideal space for gathering with breathtaking views off the large deck that overlooks the Caribbean.
