Overview & Photos
"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. The condominium comes with a golf cart. 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.
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 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, Kel-D’s, Lee’s Café, and the new Leorose Sunset Beach Bar and Grill. 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.
Other restaurants in the area include Pascal’s at boutique luxury resort Sky Beach Club, Tippy’s (international and fusion), 1648 Bar & Grille at French Leave (fine dining for lunch and dinner), The Rainbow Inn (steaks and Monday night brick oven pizza night) 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. 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, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches

It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. The staff was amazing at answering our questions and making us feel welcome. All the extras were very helpful like the beach chairs and kayaks. We loved taking the golf cart to the beach. Just an amazing experience!

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay at Buttonwood Reserve. It was our first time in Eleuthera, and we hope to come back in the future.
Buttonwood was spectacular and a great launching point for exploring the island. The condo was clean, bright and had everything we needed. The property is gorgeous and the golf cart was an extra bonus.
We had fun exploring the beach and the ship wreck, kayaking, hanging out by the pool and sitting on the deck looking out at the most beautiful blue ocean (and watching the planes come by!).
Within driving distance there is a “grocery” store, liquor store, bars, coffee shop and an awesome snack shack.
It was a pleasure working with Pam - she is a sweetheart and such an asset to the company. The groundskeepers and the ladies who clean the units were equally pleasant.

Aurelio S. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
Very nice accomodations. Great location, but not without its challenges/ trade-offs. Mini- split air systems are notoriously unreliable. Bahamian gov't needs to do more to protect natural resources and not sell it to the Chinese!
Manager Responded on 8/24/2019
It is true that occasionally a mini-split unit is damged by a power surge from the local electric utility, but overall, we still have about 99% reliability. One helpful aspect of minisplits is that every condo has two compressors and four air handlers, so we have some potential redundancy.
Great views, great condo, wonderstay

Joshua H. from CENTENNIAL, CO United States recommends this vacation rental.
Wonderful little complex (8 units) just south of James Cistern. The unit is clean, comfortable and worked great for the 5 of us. Golf cart to get to the Atlantic Beach was great. Short walk down to Caribbean (which is great for shelling). Wonderful views of both from the upper unit balcony. Very close to a few good little restaurants in James Cistern, only about 15 minutes to Governors Harbor. Grocery and liquor store in James Cistern very easy to grab what you need. The garage held bikes, floats and a lot of the stuff you just can't pack. Very happy we stayed here.

We had a lovely visit. The condo was well appointed and the support staff were very accommodating and communicative! The view can't be beat. Having the kayak and paddle boards were bonuses! We loved it!
Thank you Buttonwood Staff!

A guest from Lexington, KY US recommends this vacation rental.
We loved our stay! We traveled with our three young children and Buttonwood was perfect for our family. Eleuthera is so peaceful and our trip was so relaxing. Loved the easy access to both beaches and others in area. We liked the proximity to Governor's Harbour and James Cistern. Overall, it was a wonderful family vacation.

Darlene S. from Bedford, Nova Scotia Canada recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed in one of the Upper Level Condo's for 4 nights which have breathtaking views of both the Atlantic and Carribean ocean. With two large bedrooms each with their own bathroom it was the perfect scenario traveling with friends. I would highly recommend Buttonwood Reserve.
