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

"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.

Beautiful Buttonwood
We definitely enjoyed our stay at Buttonwood Reserve. The views from the condo our fantastic! Sunrises on the Atlantic and sunsets on the Caribbean, from the back porch, in the evening. The furniture inside and out was very comfortable. We explored a lot of the island and it was always great to come back and relax at "home". Brett, Keen, Sumit and everyone else we worked with through the condo were absolutely amazing! Thank you for making our stay a fun and memorable one!

Loved our stay @ Buttonwood
Conveniently located in central Eleuthera. Not too far from governors Harbour and an easy drive to the north. This unit is very well equipped for extended stays and has everything you need if you elect to cook in the unit. The views are amazing and the unit itself is well designed and comfortable. We enjoyed that we were so close to the Caribbean side and had kayaks and paddle boards at our disposal. The beach across the street is great for fishing at the point and the snorkeling along the rocks was pretty good as well. A short golf cart ride and your at the Atlantic side and you might not see a single person over there which was nice. Buttonwood also has a very nice pool for cooking down after a long day exploring or at the beach. There are several restaurants that are very close and we highly recommend (Delish, LeoRose, Cravings & Mel’s snack shack). You have two grocery stores close by and had everything we needed. I highly recommend Buttonwood if your travels bring you to Eleuthera. We cannot wait to come back

Convenient Location and Beautiful Property!
Our family just got back from a lovely stay at Buttonwood Reserve August 3-9th. The property was conveniently located about 15 minutes from Governor's Harbor and 45 minutes from N. Eleuthera Airport. The beds were very comfortable and although we had an initial problem with the TV, the property management sent someone out as quickly as possible and resolved it efficiently. The property manager was super lovely to deal with and was available any time we needed her. The air conditioners are amazing, which have been a problem for us at other Caribbean properties in the past, so we were comfortably cool the entirety of our stay despite the soring temps outside! The only major thing the visitors need to be aware of is the bugs, as most of the island of Eleuthera has lots of flies and mosquitos due to numerous fresh/brackish water marshes throughout. We came prepared with several cans of bug spray, bought citronella candles, mosquito smoking rings, and some fly traps that went on the windows that helped to fend them off a bit. I'm thinking some of those mosquito repellent bracelets may be required for future stays. The Atlantic side has a lovely beach to walk on and the Caribbean side was stunning. I'm not sure I would dock a boat on the little pier as the waves can get really rough with the tide fluctuating but it's a great pier to fish off of and jump from! Come prepared to purchase basic cooking supplies as the property was void of any spices or cooking basics. You can buy fresh seafood daily around 3:30 down at the James Cistern Pier from the local fishermen which is a 2 minute drive from the property and is very convenient! Finally, everyone loved the pool to cool off in after a few hours at the beach snorkeling. Overall, this property is lovely and will meet all of your needs! Don't forget to pack the extra bug repellants though!

Wonderful Condo Near Town of James Cistern, Eleuthera, Bahamas
This past week (mid-February 2017) my wife and I and another couple stayed in one of the upper units of Buttonwood Reserve on the island of Eleuthera. The condo was great! Sparkling clean and well stocked with dishes, glassware, linen, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, and soap for both dishwasher and clothes washer. It includes a golf cart for the ~1 mile trip to the Atlantic-side beach, several kayaks to use in the nearby Caribbean bay, and a lovely warm swimming pool shared with the other seven condos on the property. The views of both the Atlantic and Caribbean from the two balconies were fantastic, and the balconys were great for viewing the amazing sky at night. The only mild annoyance was the occasional "no-see-um" bite around sunset, but most evenings were breezy, so no insects bothered us. It is important to have a vehicle as most restaurants and food stores, and some of the best swimming beaches, require transportation. There is one wonderful dining spot on the beach within walking distance from the condo - named Leorose at the southern edge of the town of James Cistern. Amazing to enjoy a rum punch and dinner on the beach while watching the sunset!
