Overview & Photos
"Kool Jumbey" Vistas (unit 1C 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 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.

Wonderful stay in 1C at Buttonwood condos. Very attentive caretaker who had great recommendations for our last minute requests. Location cannot be beat - having the Caribbean and Atlantic at your doorstep was amazing. Pool was a dream, golf cart was a wonderful bonus to get all of our beach gear from the condo to the Atlantic.

Erin B. from Park Ridge, IL United States recommends this vacation rental.
Overall a great stay at Buttonwood- customer service from Matt and Brett was great- very responsive and helpful with planning. We stayed last week with two families (2 top floor units)- a group of 4 adults and 6 kids. We had could see both the Caribbean and Atlantic from both porches! Golf carts were very fun and we played at the Pickleball courts daily. Pool was nice when not at a beach. Although private and very beautiful, we could not swim on the Atlantic side because the waves were too big each day we were there and were too dangerous. Caribbean side condo beach was more swimmable but rocky. About a 20-30 min drive to Governors Harbour which had a lot of the nicer restaurants. Definitely rent a car but make sure you drive slightly in the middle- we hit a pothole and blew a tire on our 2nd day. For dinners- we really liked 1648 (go for sunset), Buccaneer and Tippys. We also enjoyed LeoRose and Delish if we wanted something more local and beach bar food-the people at these bars are so lovely- its close to condo but kind of hard to walk to with kids since you're walking along Queens Hwy. Our condo itself was a little more run down then we had expected. It did not have two full couches in living area as pictured so our family of four (2 teens) could not sit comfortably at night watching tv. The rug had a lot of stains and there were finger prints all over the appliances when we arrived. Kitchen had most things for meal prep but the floors were warped and coming apart and the sink faucet sprayed everywhere whenever it was turned on. The power was out when we arrived so the cleaning/check in was delayed-maybe they didn't have as much time to clean as usual. Power goes out a lot but it always comes back in and is normal for the island so we just learned to embrace it. It's the perfect place to stay if you have multiple families. Overall we would recommend Buttonwood but maybe pick a different unit next time or the main lodge.
Manager Responded on 4/2/2024
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We agree that this unit needs some work, and in fact it has new flooring going in and other improvements scheduled as soon as the busy season is over. Please note that the Atlantic beach does not always have waves. And when it does, they are safe for swimming and body surfing unless there is a storm at sea.
Perfect!

Abigail P. from Towson, MD United States recommends this vacation rental.
We loved staying at the Buttonwood. The unit was exactly as described, perfect for our family of four. The views were absolutely stunning - we could see both the sunrise and the sunset from our balconies. We loved all of the amenities on the property, including the paddleboards, golf carts, beach chairs and umbrellas, the pool and pickleball! The property management company and caretaker were awesome and super responsive. And finally, the location on Eleuthera was great - there were a few close restaurants and grocery stores and it's not a far drive to Governor's Harbor. I highly recommend staying at the Buttonwood!

Steve S. from Canton, GA US recommends this vacation rental.
Buttonwood condo is an excellent property that offers everything you need for any extended vacation on the island. We really enjoyed the beach across the street and having the kayaks and paddle boards was great. We enjoyed fishing off the point and the snorkeling was great at this beach too. The pool was nice and we enjoyed that as well as our rides on the golf cart to the Atlantic beach. We thoroughly enjoyed being so close to Delish and LeoRose as those were our regular places we ate. It was also nice that 2 grocery stores and a liquor store were close. Everything about this property was an A+ and I highly recommend for your stay in the islands. We look forward to our return trip

Mindie S. from Manvel, TX United States recommends this vacation rental.
We loved our stay at Buttonwood! We chose this unit so we would have views of the Caribbean and the Atlantic and were not disappointed. On nights when the Atlantic was roaring in you could hear it from the balcony, and if the Caribbean gets rough you will have battling ocean sounds to relax to. Sunsets were incredible and we had a full moon during our time there that was amazing! Our unit was clean and well equipped with magnificent views of the Caribbean. The wrap around views to the Atlantic side are beautiful, and the golf cart ride is about 10 mins. We snorkeled some on the Caribbean side and found lots of shells. For first timers to the island, just be patient with issues like electricity outages or low water pressure occasionally.We knew this happens on the island so were not bothered at all. If you wait a bit they both come back pretty quick. We had 5 people in our unit so staggered our showers as much as possible and that worked fine for hurry to go anywhere or do anything anyway! Bring your own bug sprays to keep from getting eaten up by no-seeums and buy some apple cidar vinegar to soak in if you do get bit.I brought citronella candles to burn on the balcony in the evening. Sonya was a tremendous help and took care of a few grocery purchases before our arrival. The East and Final Grocery Store is very close by with a pretty good selection of supplies as well as the Leo Rose beachside restaurant which had a great grouper burger. Not far from Governors Harbour and the Buccaneer restaurant which was very good also.Pam's Island Gifts in Gregory Town has lots of local made souveniers, and The Blue Seahorse in Rock Sound as well.We explored a new beach every day and I even stopped using my windshield wiper as a blinker before we left! I was terrified of having to drive on the left side of the road but it was really no big deal after the first day.Many nice people on the island to meet. My only complaint was having to leave!

Mike C. from Amelia, OH United States recommends this vacation rental.
We (2 couples)enjoyed our visit to Eleuthera very much! The natural beauty of the Island, the clear brilliant HD colors of the ocean/sky is amazing!
The Buttonwood Reserve unit 1C was the right choice for us. The views from the balconies are just breathtaking! We are already talking about going back next summer.
Over all, the condo was clean and very comfortable. We would definitely rent this unit again.
We met James, Patrick and Brenda (w/property caretaking). They were always very friendly and helpful when we had questions.
The condo was very clean, but I do want to give you some honest feedback about a few things we were surprised about in the condo.
The kitchen was lacking a complete set of basic cutlery, utensils and china (a setting of each for 4 would have been nice). Only a random mix of a few serving bowls.
We did use the one & only pan in the kitchen for cooking eggs a few mornings (it’s non-stick surface was long gone!). We contacted our Buttonwood person Sonya for kitchen towels (there were none) and bathroom wash clothes (there were 2 for 4 people). We did get them later the same day.
On our last day we discovered a 2018 Island Guide booklet at a local Restaurant, it was loaded with helpful/useful Island info/maps (I would suggest there always be one in the condo for the guest!).
I hope this is helpful.
Blessings,
Manager Responded on 9/3/2018
Thanks for the heads up! We are taking an inventory of kitchenware and linens in all the condominiums at Buttonwood and will be placing a large order as soon as we complete that. We look forward to having you back next year to a well-stocked condominium.

We were looking for a quiet, peaceful vacation surrounded by nature. We found it! Loved the island and the condo was very pretty and comfortable. The Atlantic side beach is gorgeous but beware of the loose coral rocks when waves are rolling in. They pelt you pretty hard. I was only in the water about 2 minutes and came out with bloody and bruised ankles. Swimming and snorkeling from the dock was great. We saw some cool fish on the random coral beds and a few large snappers and other fish that got my son excited about fishing! We'll definitely be back. Overall, it was a wonderful trip.

I secured Buttonwood Reserve for my 40th Birthday Celebration with 11 of other couples in April 2021. The resort was perfect for such a large party! It was so nice to have your own condo for quiet time while having the shared party space to all hang out. Everything on the website was exactly as promised- the units, the golf carts, pool, etc. The private beach on the Atlantic side was one of the prettiest I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend Buttonwood Reserve if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and hang out with those you care about most!

We had a group of 21 people, 16 adults and 5 kids. We rented out the whole facility plus the clubhouse. We hired two chefs to cook for us for the week. The clubhouse provided the perfect space to accommodate our group. We spent most of our time in the pool or at the beach. The condos were in excellent shape, all we really did was sleep in them! The island is too beautiful to just stay in your condo all day. We had some power issues upon arrival but Matt, Mark, Jason and Sonya tried to help the best they could. If you are looking for a property that can host a large group and still have your own space I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back some day. Matt has even been answering my calls after we have arrived home.

First, Sonya and Matt were so good to work with. Their preparation, information and follow up took all the guess work out of visiting the island.
The weather was not great and many restaurants were closed due to off season but it didn't matter because the ones that were open were wonderful and forced us to check out more of the island which was fun.
The unit 1D was clean and fresh. The views were amazing. I think it is the best location for views on the island unless you are literally on the water.
Taking the golf cart to the private and I mean private beach is a must. Price is fair and you literally don't need anything but food when you get there.
Thumbs up!

A guest from Key Biscayne, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
The apartment is as described. The view is beautiful. We were in the upper apartments and we enjoyed the Caribbean Sea view. It is very well equipped and the internet worked properly. The golf cart was a must to go to the Atlantic Beach, which is the beach that we enjoy mostly. The Caribbean one is very rocky to enter....
The no-sees were an issue (mainly at sunset) as well as the flies that arrives as soon as a plate of food hit the table.... Be prepared.
The distance to the International Airport is 45 minutes to the north and to the nearest touristic place, Governor Harbour, is 25 minutes (aprox).
You will need a car to get around the island.
The life of the island is mainly during the day hours. There were no places open after 8pm.

Ashley M. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
The island of Eleuthera is absolutely beautiful and and very laid back. The condo at Buttonwood Reaerve was decorated beautifully and the views from
Both balconies were amazing. The location of the condo is very convenient to a small grocery and liquor store, which are not always convenient to find on the island. The golf cart was a great amenity to get to the Atlantic side beach. I spent the majority of my time on that beach as it was completely secluded and there was not another footstep to be found on the beach. If you are looking for pure relaxation and natural beauty this is your place. I cannot wait to go back and stay!
