Lux Condo w/Views, Beach, Htd Pool, Beach, Pickleball, Gym,Walk to Restaurant

"Casa Dos Vistas" (unit 1D 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. 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. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great communication during the rental process and with the property manager, Brett, during our stay when we had a couple of questions. Easy drive to several amazing beaches from the condo. The golf cart path to the Atlantic beach was pretty rough, and the beach umbrellas are pretty beat up. Thankful to have access to kayaks and paddleboards at the property, but be aware you do have to carry them up and down to the dock area which was fairly strenuous...well for us older folk anyway...haha. Pool was comfortable and refreshing...Great overall stay and would recommend...

Love Buttomwood and Eleuthera
We rent two units at Buttomwood for one week, our experience was excellent both units had everything you need to feel like home, very clean and new ,the beach on the Atlantic was a a bit rough but its very private and you can walk miles,great pool , the place is still in construction but no problem with that, Patrick was very helpful and always ready to help. Our second week was at sky beach, but let me tell you we miss Buttomwood a lot. Eleuthera is a magical place , the beaches, the people, so many places to drive and visit that you will be amaze. Overall our best vacation ever.

Nice location
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Photos made place look bigger than it was. Could not c sunset without stretching neck over balcony. Furnishings a little worn. Portable A/C unit in guest bedroom took up a lot of space. A/C in main area not working properly for 1st few days but they did fix it. Internet not working most of the time we were there. The description of this place needs to convey that this is an island that receives groceries via boat once a week; internet anywhere on the island will be sporadic at best; the Main Street of the island has to be crossed to get to the Caribbean beach. It is a beautiful place with welcoming locals.

Great condo, resort and location!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in the condo, it was spacious, clean, bright, lots of windows, a full-sized kitchen, excellent air conditioning, very comfortable beds, and friendly staff. The resort had a large pool (not heated as described), kayaks (excellent location for kayaking), and golf-cart access to a long beautiful beach on the Atlantic. Be forewarned that the beach may have excessive garbage at the high-tide line, your experience will be best at low tide. There are restaurants near by but they’re not as good as people say, all the menus are similar, mostly burgers, chicken fingers, cracked conch, and conch fritters (they have the same food supplier). Buy groceries in Governor’s Harbour (closed Sundays). The tourist center in GH has a great free map plus other info. It was a great vacation with only one significant negative: biting bugs! Bring bug spray, bug lotion, baby oil, and hydrocortisone and/or anti-itch spray. Also, the water comes and goes so we filled glasses and pots for reserve (to flush toilets, do dishes). We would stay again and highly recommend Buttonwood for it’s prime location, beauty, easy access to both coasts, and comfort.

Modern comfortable mid island retreat!
Modern, comfortable mid island retreat! Perhaps the best thing about renting at Buttonwood is the accessibility to both the Atlantic side and the Caribbean side. Super fun to have the golf cart to go to the Atlantic side for a very private beach experience! The manager Sonya was very responsive to our requests, and all of the on-site staff were very helpful and friendly! Have to thank Patrick especially for some of his insight to things to do on the island! The property is well-maintained, and has enough amenities to supply our time there for the dishwasher and washing machine even! They were very helpful in getting us a few kitchen items that we needed, as well as some additional beach chairs and umbrellas for our party of five. The couple of unfortunate things would include the fact that the pool heater was not working and really too cold for any of us to get into during our nine nights stay. The other unfortunate condition was the construction that was going on on site, however that was disclosed to us ahead of our stay and was probably more construction than we expected but was not intrusive on our time at Buttonwood. One thing I’m curious to see is what the electrical situation will be. There was an allowance that has not been disclosed yet. So as we used almost no air-conditioning, not expecting that there would be any additional fees. Overall this is a wonderful vacation stay with beautiful views and lovely accommodations well represented in the Pictures and description. Watch the sunrise over the Atlantic from your front porch in the sun set on your back patio! We would definitely come back to this accommodation! Thank you

The beach on the Atlantic side is amazing. Nice having the amenities of a golf cart, beach chairs, umbrellas, grill and pool. Only slight negative is the condo is a bit in need of a refresher.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently were able to visit paradise again and for those who don't know, that is in Eleuthera, Bahamas. We stayed at Buttonwood Reserve, in James Cistern. We love Buttonwood Reserve because it has everything! With access to both the Caribbean and the Atlantic you can choose easily where you might spend all day or split between both :) The golf carts are wonderful when visiting the Atlantic side. Paddle boards, kayaks, paddles, safety vests, beach chairs, towels and umbrellas-everything is so accessible and convenient. Brett, the property mgr, is a great guy who is always available to assist with a bright smile and attitude :) The pool is also a wonderful amenity too! The condo units have plenty of room, very functional. The beautiful views out of the windows and sliding doors are spectacular! We visited so many different beach locations, from Queens Bath to Glass Window bridge, Governor's Harbour, etc. Snorkeling, shelling, beach walking, picture taking and just simple relaxing make for a perfect vibe. We can't wait to return to this blessed location. Don't miss out on paradise!

lovely family vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was very nice. We enjoyed using the pool and the BBQs in addition to our flat. The access to both the Caribbean and The Atlantic was a great plus. I often used the SUPs in the morning when the sea was calmer and thought they were a great plus. Later on we would take the golf carts to sit on the secluded, sandy, (but usually very wavy) Atlantic side.Do bring insect repellent and rent a car to see the many other lovely aspects of Eleuthera.

Paradise
This property is absolutely amazing. Very clean, nicely decorated and plenty of space. The kitchen has everything you need. Comfy bed with nice linens. The views from every window are beyond spectacular. Coffee on the deck overlooking the aqua water made for a perfect start to each day. The area is so quiet and peaceful. The golf cart included with the condo made for a fun ride down a bumpy path to a spectacular beach in the Atlantic side. Paddle board and kayaks (included) were also a lot of fun. If you arrive at night like we did, it’s a little difficult to see the Buttonwood Reserve sign! We would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back again. So many beautiful beaches in Eleuthera. Definitely check out Cocodimama Beach and Winding Bay…..if you can find it!!! Street signs are few and far between in some areas which makes the adventure even more fun!!! Host and property manager were so nice and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is perfectly situation between the vast, wavy, deep blue Atlantic ocean on the backside of the property and the calm, shallow, clear caribbean in front of the property. We loved enjoying both areas, especially the Atlantic side by day and the front side by sunset. The condo was great, the property was beautiful, the property manager (Brett) was helpful and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. Thank you!

Stay at Buttonwood Reserve in Eleuthera
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Buttonwood reserve in Condo 1D for 3 nights at end of September 2021.The condo is at a very good location and close to amenities and Governor’s Harbor Airport. Views from the condo are spectacular. Specially sunrise and sunset. Property is well kept and staff very responsive.Visited an would recommend Da perk coffee shop in Governors Harbor. And no visit to Eleuthera is complete without a visit to Ten Bay beach.Also there is a small restaurant called Delish in James Cistern which is great place for a drink and some local Bahamian food.Overall it was a wonderful stay and would stay at Buttonwood again on next trip to Eleuthera
