Overview & Photos
Recently featured on HGTV’s “Bahamas Life", "Entre-deux-Mers" (unit 2D at the Buttonwood Reserve Oceanfront Condominium Resort) offers 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 the eight-foot glass sliders and six-foot bay windows in this spectacular luxury condo. 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. Near the pool is our grilling area, outfitted with propane grills for your use. Grill burgers while enjoying a relaxing day at the pool, or cook up the day’s fresh catch from a fishing adventure.
We just installed a mini-gym 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, and equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. 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 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 luxury linens and is 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. Additionally, the living room sofa pulls out to a comfortable queen-size bed.
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.
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.
Just a mile from Buttonwood Reserve is the village of James Cistern, which has two grocery stores, a town dock where the fisherman bring their catch every day, a produce stand, and three small local restaurants.
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.
Relax in comfort and style and enjoy the mesmerizing views and laid-back vibe of this magical island. We look forward to welcoming you!

Daryl W. from Estero, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
Very pleased with our choice to stay at Buttonwood Reserve during our first trip to the island of Eleuthera. Everything was as described on the website. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything needed. We met with the property manager upon arrival and he provided details to everything on property and recommended places to visit and also dining options.

MARK V. from DULUTH, GA US recommends this vacation rental.
Our chosen rental had the best of both worlds for visitors to Eleuthera, you have an unobstructed Caribbean view right across the street, and a view of the Atlantic from the rear balcony. You will enjoy sunrises and sunsets both from here! We collected a myriad of shells from the beach directly across the road, and enjoyed a sunset with cocktails on the private dock there as well. The golf cart onsite takes you to the private Atlantic beach, and also available for guests are a heated pool, a boogie board, a paddle board, 4 kayaks, a large cooler, 4 beach chairs and an umbrella. Perfect!

From the moment we arrived, Sonya was so kind and helpful and we felt at home. The Condo was clean and the ac was helpful in the bedrooms at night. The views from both the front and back were amazing. We loved Eleuthera and her people.

My wife and I like beautiful, quiet getaway's. Well we found that at Buttonwood Reserve on Eleuthera Island. We stayed 5 nights and were thrilled to have found this haven of serenity with beautiful views of the ocean from every window in the house. Friendly helpful staff is definitely a plus.
A wonderful place to stay!

Seemless-from booking and the questions that went along with that process Pam made everything very easy and she is very informative! And arriving and staying at Buttonwood was just as easy. No issues at all with the entire process.

A guest from Chicago, IL United States recommends this vacation rental.
Buttonwood was perfect for our group of 14 (6 adults and 8 tween/teens). We rented all four units of building 2. The units were clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The units and property were just as described and came with beach towels, beach chairs, pool floats, grills, golf carts, coolers, etc. The location was perfectly situated to explore all of the beaches on both the north and south end of the island. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy even more of Eleuthera. We all loved our trip to Buttonwood and Eleuthera! Rental was seamless - Matt and Tara were very easy to work with and super helpful with tips and info.

Jerry J. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
We found our stay at Buttonwood to be exceptional and relaxing. The property is set beautifully between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, you can see both from the condos. We really enjoyed both beaches near the property and all the other Eleuthera offerings!

Just fine
everything went perfect
the pre-payment is quiet early and at least for germans quiet unusual to pay the full amount far (means months) before arrival

Aldwin C. from Calgary, Alberta Canada recommends this vacation rental.
This was our first time in Eleuthera and the Bahamas. My wife turned 40, and we wanted to spend some quality time together. We were so glad we chose to stay in Buttonwood. The property is well-kept, the staff on site are friendly and helpful, and the apartment was sparkling clean.
We loved 2D as well as you can see the Carribean side and the Atlantic side. We would watch the sunrise while we have breakfasts and watch the sunset at dinner time. There is a grocery store a few minutes away, but we would recommend going into Governor's Harbour to get your grocery. If you are a wine drinker, there is a nice wine store there too.
The reason we chose this property is because we wanted to get away from the crowds. Having a private beach on both sides was great. We would take walks along the beach on the Atlantic side and there will be no one around.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay here again. Do make sure you bring mosquito repellent as the noseeums bites were crazy.

Amy W. from Newark, DE United States recommends this vacation rental.
Eleuthera is a hidden gem. I almost dont want to leave a review because the island is not commercialized and I hope it never gets that way. Buttonwoodn is a lovely property. It is private and quiet. All of the caretakers are so nice and we enjoyed speaking with them daily. The units are well maintained and pretty decor. The views of both sides are incredible from the upper unit balconies. Check in/out was smooth. Anything we needed or asked for was taken care of promptly. Great experience with both Buttonwood and the island itself. We are planning to be back in the spring!
