Compound w/Beach, Pool, PICKLEBALL, Gym, Kayaks, Golf Carts, VIEWS!

Building Two (comprised of 4 condominiums and 8 bedrooms) at Buttonwood Reserve Condo Resort offers families, friends or a wedding party the luxury, privacy and amenities for a perfect vacation.

This extraordinary property is located on a ridge 45 feet above the Caribbean. The views of both oceans are truly breathtaking. From your large windows and extensive decks, you can watch the sun rise over the Atlantic and set over the Caribbean.

Buttonwood Reserve is situated on 50 acres, with beaches on both sides of the property. On the Atlantic side, Buttonwood has a world-class, 3-mile-long pink-sand beach, pristine, without a single house on it. This Atlantic side beach is accessed via our private, golf-carts only driveway. The property comes with a fleet of golf carts. This miles-long beach is virtually private for us, because the only other access is a rough and little used jeep track half a mile to the south. On the Caribbean side of our property, almost in your front yard, is a second beach, which has excellent snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing. This beach is small and rather rocky, so not so aesthetic, but it's as calm as a lake most of the time and perfect for the above activities.

If you're not in the mood for a swim in the ocean, slip into our resort-style pool. This beautiful landscaped pool is heated for comfortable swimming year-round.

Buttonwood Reserve comes with golf carts, kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. Other amenities include AC throughout, ceiling fans, and superfast Starlink WIFI.

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 optional Main Lodge is a central gathering place for large groups. It includes a large ocean-view living area, dining area, and kitchen, where large groups can gather for dining and leisure time. It has a big deck overlooking the Caribbean with a sunset view, a bedroom with a king bed and an ocean view, one full bath, and a couple of sleeping lofts suitable for teenagers. It can be added to your reservation for an additional charge if desired.

Buttonwood Building Two consists of four 2-bedroom, 2-bath condos, each with a full kitchen. Each condo features a large great room with an 8-foot sliding glass door with spectacular Caribbean views. The slider opens onto a large deck furnished for lounging or dining while watching the sun set over the sea. Enjoy a meal or a beverage, or watch the dolphins frolic in the Caribbean. The great room includes a living area with flat-screen satellite TV, a dining area with dining room seating for six, and a modern, open-plan, luxurious kitchen finished in stainless steel and black granite. All areas have magnificent ocean views in every direction, with water sparkling as far as the eye can see.

The master bedroom of each condo features a large upholstered window seat with panoramic views of the Caribbean, a perfect spot to relax with a book or a morning coffee. The master is furnished with a king bed and equipped with an en-suite full bath, and has a private door leading to the deck.

The guest bedroom of each condo also features a large window seat. The guest bedrooms of the upper two condos enjoy spectacular Atlantic Ocean views. Each guest bedroom has a full en-suite bath (which can be accessed from the hall as well). The guest bedrooms are furnished with twin beds that can be converted into a king.

Buttonwood is 1 mile from James Cistern, which has grocery stores, restaurants, a liquor store, and a town dock where you can at times purchase fresh fish. Three excellent restaurants are within walking distance, including LeoRose, Delish, and Mels'. Famous Stubbs Barbecue is 2 miles up the road.

The island's main town, Governors Harbour, is a 15-min. drive.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 8 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 8 bedrooms. A TV comes with satellite channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a private yard.

I’m moving to Eleuthera!

My bookclub celebrated our 20th anniversary in Eleuthera. I have only great words to describe my visit at Buttonwood Reserve. The views of the Caribbean Sea & Atlantic Ocean were a perfect way to start my day. We enjoyed the grounds, the staff that soon became family and the island residents. We are planning on returning really soon. The communication with Matt and his staff was efficient and made us feel prepared for the stay. You will not regret booking a stay at this exclusive, secure and secluded location.

Beautiful island, nice vacation!

It was our first trip to The Bahamas and we rented one of the two buildings at Buttonwood Reserve. We enjoyed our stay, had a good time, the only not-so-good part was being seriously bitten by no-see-ums. These biting midges got indoors as well and some of us had to deal with them even during the night. As soon as the sun would set, you had to run inside without being able to enjoy the nice warm evenings outside. If you get bitten by mosquitoes a lot, (plenty of them on the islands too), chances are that these no-see-ums will be attracted to you as well. Don’t let them scare you away though, in case you’re planning to vacation on the island(s), just be prepared and do your homework (we didn’t…) Booking the trip was extremely easy with the great help and abundance of information provided by the property manager. Matt Simon and his team were all very responsive before, during and after the trip. Condos were clean and we all felt comfortable. All the staff was professional, friendly and promptly providing whatever was missing and we had to ask for. The Caribbean is really close, just downhill from the condos and across the highway. It’s presented as a “beach”, but it’s really rocky and right next to the “Queen’s HWY” which makes it a bit noisy and not too private. You can carry the kayaks and/or the paddle board there and enjoy the calm lake-like sea. Snorkeling is not the best there, but sunsets over the Caribbean are gorgeous. Having one golf cart per unit was excellent, since the Atlantic beach is about 1 mile away (estimated). Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie-boards, basically everything you’ll need, has to be carried back and forth every day. On the Atlantic beach was nothing but a fallen down palapa, obviously unusable! These golf carts are in a pretty poor technical condition and two of them had to be fixed during our stay, but then so are most vehicles on the island…. Bicycles were unusable having missing pedals and flat tires They are building a clubhouse on the property right between the two existing buildings, expect construction activities, delivery trucks and so on if you’re planning to stay there in the near future. This is also something that was left out of the otherwise very in depth presentation … More than likely, we will go back to the islands in the future and we would certainly recommend this place for your stay!
