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.

Nearby Activities in Governors Harbour

Governor's Harbour is the main town on the island of Eleuthera, with a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is safe and friendly. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks and bikes.

Things To Do in Governors Harbour

For most people who make the trip to Eleuthera, the island of freedom, they come for its peace and serenity -- that feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world. One of the best things about Eleuthera is that you'll almost always have a beach to yourself. And the sand is pink! You can go swimming and snorkeling and see stingrays and other aquatic life here. The Glass Window Bridge is one of the coolest spots to visit on the island. The Ocean Hole is a spot you'll never forget.. read more

"Great Accommodations!
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!"
Jul 08, 2024 - Adam F., Wake Forest, NC



"A Week In Paradise
A beautiful property with everything provided for a perfect stay. Gorgeous views of the Caribbean and access to both it and the Atlantic side, with the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen! "
May 09, 2024 - Lynette H., Indianapolis, IN



"Wedding destination
We had a large group that filled all the condo units.The main lodge was perfect for the bride and groom and accommodated 35-ish guests for dinner and reception. The accommodations were 'well used' but clean.The property managements staff was excellent and always available and helpful. "
Feb 19, 2024 - Kelly B., Edwardsburg, MI



"Great place

"Guaranteed great time
We have had the pleasure of traveling to Eleuthera for several trips sbd have always found Buttonwood to be a refreshing sanctuary for our time on the island. "

"Fantastic Visit to Beautiful Eleuthera!
"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."

"Girls Trip 2023 to Eleuthera Islands
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"
Mar 16, 2023 - Robyn W., Flower Mound, TX



"Inspect Condo Prior to Guest Arrival
Bottom Line Up Front: No A/C in the master bedroom or living room for the entire stay, unable to secure house (master bedroom rear door would not lock) entire stay, finally unable to secure valuables in Master Room Safe (literally did not function, deadbolts where extended, meaning I needed a code to retract them.

Recommendations:
1- Maintenance personnel need to ensure all things are in working order prior to guest arrival
2- Once the guest report issues to maintenance it is not the responsibility of the guest to continually follow up on facility issues nor is it the guest's responsibility to discover major mechanical problems on 1st day of vacation."

"A wonderful Condo and Property in Eleuthera
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.

Beautiful location, wonderful accommodations. Roomy, modern furnishings, convenient location. "

"Our Buttonwood Stay
We booked 4 condos and the main lodge for my husband's 40th and our daughter's 13th. Matt, was absolutely awesome from day 1. He helped me with the price significantly. When we got there however, there was one room that I got instead of another from what I reserved. In the main lodge's loft, there is no AC which made it uncomfortable for my children, the washing machine was not hooked up and the stove, fridge and sink were dirty. In addition, there was no hot water. In a few of the other condos, there were lizards and bugs issue as well as lack of hot water.
I'm saying all this to let you know that no situation was perfect but this is by far the BEST AND NICEST PLACE IN ELEUTHERA. If you visit, you should do so at this property. They have a pool, golf carts, kayaks, paddle board and bicycles. You didn't have to do anything anywhere else on the island.
Regarding my complaints, they were all corrected as Matt was up after 12am when I made the complaints and by the morning almost everything was addressed. The bonus was that I was given another unit free of charge so I could enjoy more space for me and my guests. Brett never gave up in addressing our issues showing up several times per day to ensure everything works and we are comfortable. What a blessing.
Point is, this is the best place on the island and trust me, I know because we drove everywhere.
THANK YOU BRETT, THANK YOU MATT!
If I were to visit again, it would be Buttonwood Reserve."

"Wonderful
Buttonwood is one of the nicest places to stay in Governors Harbour. Beautiful property, great amenities and access to the Atlantic Ocean. Love it!"
Mar 15, 2019 - Dionne B.



"The Best Place On The Island
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. "
Feb 25, 2019 - Brenan G.



"Paradise
Unit 2A is in a newer building; having stayed in building 1 prior, upgrades to building two were noticeable ie. bathrooms were larger. That being said, you can't go wrong with either building because the views are stunning. "
Feb 25, 2019 - Darlene S., Bedford, Nova Scotia



"Buttonwood Reserve Unit 2A "Over the Rainbow" is awesome!!!
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!"
Feb 23, 2019 - Michael H.



"First, but not last visit
It's so much fun when a vacation ends up better than you expect. What a simply beautiful location, great condo, and just overall experience. Can't say enough about the people and the process as well. We'll definitely be back for a longer stay next time."
Jan 20, 2019 - Rob H.



"My 50th bday
The property is a great for a large group or simply to relax. The pictures shown on website are very accurate. It's actually even nicer! It's very close to beaches, grocery shopping and the property manager Sonya was very helpful in planning many of the activities I made for my family and driends"
Nov 15, 2018 - Corey G., Laurelton, NY



"Great time on Eleuthera!
booked us in a condo at Buttonwood Reserve, which was great! We love the views from the balconies, enjoyed the pool, and relaxed by ourselves on the endless private beach. We've stayed there before and look forward to staying there again! "
Oct 22, 2018 - David L., Martinsville, IN



"Family Trip to Eleuthera
Wonderful accommodations. They were meticulously clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies to make our stay much more comfortable. There was helpful information on all the different activities. Easy to communicate with Sonya to make any needed arrangements! Great experience. "
Sep 12, 2018 - Nancy S.



"Amazing vacation
Our rental was pristinely clean, had all the comforts and amenities of home. Felt like it was my home away from home!
Perfect vacation!"

"Buttonwood stay
Everything was great "
Dec 20, 2017 - Anouar Z.



"Fabulous Views and Beautiful Decor
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. "

"Buttonwood
We had a great stay 2 week stay at Buttonwood. Matt was a pleasure to work with and look forward to visiting again."
Sep 04, 2017 - Craig C.



"Eleuthera Escape
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."
