"Serenity" Vistas (unit 1B 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 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.

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. There is excellent sightseeing, as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, and a bottomless ocean hole.

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 for large groups!
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!"

"A Quiet Retreat from Everything!
We stayed for several weeks in February at Buttonwood Reserve. The weather was delightful. The house - Very comfortable and well appointed with incredible sea views. The Starlink highspeed Internet was blazing fast for us to work remotely and enjoy Netflix. We had a few very minor issues that Brett the property manager took care of immediately. Brett is an amazing person and resource giving us valuable insights from car rentals, grocery stores, restaurants and sightseeing. The golf carts are a great addition to ferry back and forth from the incredible Atlantic beach. The brand new pickleball court looks great. The sand and water!

Buttonwood is centrally located on the island, so it's a convenient spot to explore all that Eluthera has to offer. "

"Our stay at Buttonwood Reserve February 2024
Overall I was very satisfied with the property. Very clean, nicely furnished. Brett and Smitty were very friendly and helpful. They even retrieved and opened a fresh coconut for me!
The only "complaint" I have is the condition and working order of the golf carts. The first cart we used had no working brakes and the second cart died on the trail to the Atlantic beach. but overall we enjoyed our stay very much."

"Great place to stay!
We had a wonderful time at Buttonwood. The two beaches are gorgeous, and it was fun to have easy access to both sides of the island. We spent more time exploring the many nearby beaches and also took a boating tour with Captain Kid and Son, which was a highlight of the trip. Our favorite nearby beach was Gaulding Cay. Buttonwood is the perfect mid-island location for exploring all the wonders of Eleuthera. There are so many beautiful things to see, and it was perfect to come home to a comfortable, well-appointed condo in the evenings. I can't recommend Buttonwood enough! "

"A Memorable Family Beach Vacation
Eluethera Vacation Rentals offered amazing service and support prior to our family vacation in Buttonwoods. They could not have been more helpful. The materials and Welcome Letter were extremely useful and a good resource for the island of Eleuthera. The onsite property manager was also very service oriented.

The beach was absolutely beautiful and very private, complete with a shipwreck to view. Having access to the gulf carts made it easy (and fun!) to haul all the young children and sand toys to the beach. (A bonus was all the beach toys and beach chairs stowed on site which was all available for use.)

Overall, there were some issues with maintenance, which the onsite property manager attempted to address in a timely manner. One issue was the electrical circuits, which interrupted sleep at night. Every time the upstairs guest turned on their fans, the fans and lights in the downstairs unit automatically came on. If guests have different sleep schedules, the lights and fans coming on at various hours during the night can be disturbing.

The frequent but usually short nocturnal power outages also interrupted sleep, not because of loss of electricity per se, but due to the noise created. Every time the power went out, the loss of electricity stimulated the safety alarm system which was stimulated again when the power came back on, resulting in being woken up by the flashing lights and alarms during the noturnal power outages.

Finally, as noted in the property brochure, beware of the No-see-ums, as they present a lasting itchy memory of the time in Eleuthera!

Question: Would we come back? Absolutely!!! "

"Beautiful view
Buttonwood was a nicely appointed condo. Comfortable bed and arrangement. There was no hot water for baths or showers finally
repaired 3 days before we left. Beach was not nice. Pool was in disrepair. Dangerous electrical light in the water.
Golf cart not charged. No propane for grills. Brett tried to help. Pam was difficult."

"Buttonwood vacation
The only thing you should do is to increase the light in the master bed room... the light is too low to be able to put on make-up."

"Unit 1b Buttonwood Dec 2021
The location and property in amazing. It exceed our expectations. The view from unit 1b is awesome. You can see the see from bed in the master bedroom. I would recommend you book this unit for your stay. Pool area was relaxing and the pool was always clean. They were fixing the heater so the first few days the water was cool but still nice to swim in.Love that he property is close to both Govenors Harbour and James Cistern so lots to do if you want. The island is so beautiful and you can do lots of day trips from Buttonwood. I would highly recommend unit 1b for its spacious layout and beautiful views of the sun rises and sunsets over the Caribbean Sea. "

"Perfect Paradise with all the amenities!!
We stayed here as a large group (25) and there was everything we could ever need! The property was beautiful and not one thing was missed. The only thing better than the views were the help we got from the property managers every time I had a question. (Which was every day** we are slightly a pain in the butt) I would absolutely return and recommend for anyone looking for a getaway as a small or large group! "

"Cottonwood reserve 1b
Would suggest having some staples like sugar, salt and pepper, oil, coffee filters available."

"Great family getaway.
Accommodations were wonderful for our family. Each had privacy with their own family and fun dinners together every evening. We all gathered nightly for stunning sunsets. The only thing better would have been longer days. My son in law put together a day long adventure on the water which the grandkids will talk about for a long time. We thank everyone involved with making our stay special.Eleuthera was a friendly welcoming island."

It was nice. Staff is great! "

"Group Trip: great location, nice and relaxed feel
We had a group of geologists come and stay at the Buttonwood reserve. We rented 5 apartments. It was a great location for the proximity to the GHB airport, as well as to many of the sites we visited. Although the apartments had a few hiccups (not each one was fully stocked, one door handle broke off, and some power issues in a couple of apartments), the staff was very quick to respond and generally came over to fix the problem within a matter of the day. We loved the golf carts, and the easy access to both beaches. Our group had a great time and look forward to going back someday soon."

"Bahama vacation
Very satisfied with the Buttonwood Condos and the attention to detail."

"Christmas in Eleuthera
The Buttonwood was a perfect choice for our family. Great location, well maintained, beautiful views, wonderful staff, one of our favorite places yet!"
Jan 18, 2019 - Diane H., Valparaiso, IN



"Fantastic Vacation
We had a wonderful time at the Buttonwood. The condo was perfect and the beach was absolutely gorgeous! You have to take the golf cart to the beach but well worth it. Matt Simon was very responsive to our needs. We had some small issues and they were addressed right away. Sonya and Jim were great and always available. The island was beautiful and the people so friendly! "

"Bring your friends and family and stay awhile!
This property was exactly what we needed for our large group of 30, multiple families getting together from 2 states to enjoy Spring Break in the Bahamas. Each condo was well maintained, well appointed with what families needed and had amazing views. Everyone loved the golf carts, amazing sandy private Atlantic beach with great waves, Caribbean beach for snorkeling and kayaking and heated pool. Property is in a great central location on Eleuthera, people made it from Light House Beach in the South to Harbour Island and Spanish Wells in the North and everything in between on our days there. Very close to grocery store in James Cistern. Sonya the property manager and her staff were welcoming and accommodating. If you are thinking about a trip to a family island in the Bahamas, where you can spend days being the only people an beach after beautiful beach this is the place for you!"
Apr 14, 2018 - Maureen F., Kalamazoo, MI



"Buttonwood Reserve Rocks
We spent two wonderful weeks at Buttonwood in March 2018: the first week in Unit 1B, and the second in Unit 2D. Both units were clean, comfortable, modern, attractively decorated, and with "picture postcard" views of both the Atlantic and the Caribbean.

A sparsely populated beach was a short walk or golf cart ride away. Buttonwood Reserve is convenient to Governors Harbor, James Cistern, and Rainbow Bay, with their wide range of delightful restaurants. The Governors Harbor Airport is a six-minute drive from Buttonwood.

The sun was warm, the weather soothing, and the holiday a real treat for us.
"
Apr 10, 2018 - John L.



"VERY ACCOMODATING ...
We decided to join in and help celebrate a 50th birthday for one of our closest friends, and didn't decide to go until the last minute. This proved to be no issue at all, specifically because the management team at Buttonwood were so supportive and understanding of our situation.

The one thing Buttonwood has above all is ample space - so if you are a large group who wants to be together, but have your own space - this is the perfect place. There were 31 of us total with kids, and you never felt on top of each other. The condos are clean and feel up to date. The amenities were superb. Having your own golf cart was critical and really fun to access both sides of the island. The pool was warm at all times and the property is well maintained, unlike in some of our previous experiences in the Bahamas.

We would DEFINITELY stay here again."
