Property Description

"Sapodilly" (Unit 1A at the Buttonwood Reserve Oceanfront Condominium Resort) is a lower level unit facing west over the Caribbean for the sunset view. Enjoy stunning ocean views through the eight-foot glass sliders and six-foot bay windows. The expansive private decks also feature spectacular sea views

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 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 condo is 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. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class.

John C. from Roxbury, CT United States recommends this vacation rental.


I must admit am a bit reluctant to write a review for fear that everyone will learn about the hidden gem that is Buttonwood. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and, after 8 nights, did not want it to end. Everyone has their own preferences, but in our view Buttonwood was the perfect blend of lux comfort, adventure, privacy, and price. We spent mornings on the Atlantic side, in complete privacy for miles to see, shuttling over in the courtesy golf cart that belongs to each condo. We would walk to LeoRose for lunch, which is right on the water on the Caribbean side. Some snorkeling or paddle boarding in the afternoon, 30 yards away, would typically round out our day. The locals are friendly, chatty, and eager to please their island guests. Island visitors should know that Eleuthera is not a well developed island. Electricity outages are not uncommon. Things break down from time to time as a result of sea salt. But after a few days you won't care if you settle into the chill island vibe.

Todd W. from United States recommends this vacation rental.


Buttonwood is a great property and well positioned to enjoy a relaxing vacation in Eleuthera. The property is located very close to James Cistern where there are a few good restaurants (Delish Lifestyle, Mel’s and the local bar) along with grocery stores, a Liquor store and the pier to buy fresh catch each day. Beautiful beaches are both walkable and drivable depending on how far you want to venture and a car is really needed to best enjoy the island.

Donna C. from Lenoir City, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.


Buttonwood condominiums are in a good location to get to Governor’s Harbour or points further north (by car).Our unit (1A) had lovely views from the porch and most of the windows. There were plenty of quality bath towels, but only one kitchen towel, so you may want to bring another with you. The washer and dryer worked well, as did the dishwasher and community grill. The management did provide some dishwasher and clothes washer tablets. The pool is lovely. The porch could use a portable stand fan to help drive way the flying bigs when needed. We went to the Atlantic side beach once by golf cart ( too rough to snorkel that day), and the Caribbean side once to try to snorkel for lobster, but no luck. We went to other beaches the other days. The closest restaurant, Leo Rose is a great casual beach dining spot, but be aware they only take cash (the policy for many places).We love Eleuthera! There is a phrase- “Eleuthera-it’s not for everyone”. You need to be the kind of traveler that can “go with the flow” with things like water and power outages, older model but functional rental cars, and hordes of noseeums on occasion. You will be rewarded with beautiful water, deserted beaches, and friendly people!

A guest from United States recommends this vacation rental.


we have literally been to 50 countries around the world. Eleuthera is a unique island , not your typically all inclusive, easy to get around type of location.

if you plan to drive , please, please make sure you understand the insurance situation of you , your car and your passengers.
i would not recommend you riding bikes on the main road and definitely no walking or running bike after dark.
you need a bit more research than going to a big, more traffic island of the Bahamas

A guest from Allentown, PA United States recommends this vacation rental.


Yes, yes yes. The condo is everything one would want, size, comfort, cleanliness, amenities. You can't go wrong. Let me share why we would stay again. My husband and I like to rent beachfront houses. Nice ones are expensive so that is typically done with friends. This visit to Eleuthera was just to two of us so we needed something else. Buttonwood Reserve was the perfect fit. In addition to the lovely interior and grounds, what sold us was the golf carts which provided the beach access we desired and bikes which let us ride to the nearby eatery options (all within walking distance really - a mile).

At any rate the worst day there consisted of us packing the golf cart for a beach day on the Atlantic side on a beautifully warm, sunny, breezy day. After arriving and setting up chairs and umbrella we realized it was much more than breezy, it was downright windy. After toughing it out for ten minutes getting sandblasted, we packed up, returning to our condo and setting up shop on the beautiful deck overlooking the Caribbean Sea. There it was warm and sunny with a slight breeze. We laid on the lounge chairs enjoying the sounds of the Caribbean Sea (because it's that close) while sipping cocktails one enjoys during holiday while the sound of the waves and the soft music we played intermingled creating a uniquely perfect symphony. This was followed yet another epic sunset and an evening of star gazing.

The rest of the days were perfect and spent at the beach. So yeah. One can have a lovely place to stay but if the experience isn't there it's just "nice." This was a complete package.

Notes:
I believe Buttonwood was almost full but it was super quiet and we rarely passed anyone.
As with everywhere in the Bahamas, the noseeums are fierce so if sensitive like me, bring the repellent and expect to use it often and liberally.

Brett was fast with communication and Smitty checked on us and brought us an item we requested. 5 star from

Our family of 15 had Building 1 to ourselves. It was perfect as we had evening meals together but also had some private time with their own family. We thank all the Buttonwood staff for making our stay so enjoyable. We absolutely loved both the oceans. They offered a different experience. The experience of having an entire beach to ourselves was amazing. Even the beaches we visited outside of Buttonwood we had to ourselves. We scheduled a tour of our making and the grandchildren were thrilled with the wild pigs, feeding the turtles and seeing starfish up close. We feel very lucky to have such wonderful family memories.

A guest from Saginaw, MI United States recommends this vacation rental.


The condo was very clean and located centrally on the island. It is not close to anything, so be prepared to drive for groceries to get anything semi-decent. There is East and Final Grocery and a liquor store close by, but the best grocery store closest is Burrows, in Gov. Harbor, which is 15 minutes away at least. The beach shown in the picture is rocky and you have to cross a highway to access it. We chose to visit other beaches that were less rocky and easier to access: Ten Bay Beach, Cape Eleuthera, and various pull-offs along the way. Gas stations are few and far between, so make sure when you see one, fill up! Brett was terrific and is on property most all of the time and will answer questions and fix things as needed. The condo is well decorated and comfortable. The furniture in the picture on the deck is no longer there, unfortunately, as we were on a working vacation. Instead, there are now white Adirondack chairs, which makes it hard to work from your laptop. There are floaties and some lounge chairs for general use. We did not go to the pool and only used the golf cart once, as we are not Atlantic Ocean kind of folks. Lovely stay.




  • Manager Responded on 8/5/2021


    The Caribbean shore is not the beach! The Caribbean shore is indeed rocky and across the road, but that is not the beach. We have a 3-mile-long, pristine, pink-sand beach at the back of the property that is connected to the condos by a private, golf-carts-only driveway. Every rental comes with a golf cart. That is the beautiful beach shone in the photos, and it's not rocky, nor do you have to cross a road to get to it. The Caribbean shore is very handy for kayaking, paddle-boarding, snorkeling, and fishing, but it's not the beach.

Amber M. from Atlanta, GA US recommends this vacation rental.


This was our first time in Eleuthera. Well the island was a little different than we expected it would be, the rental was as pictured. Use of the golf cart with the property was a great bonus amenity. Day trips to Spanish Wells, Harbor Island, Eco tours, snorkeling, and re-fishing charters, made our stay exciting and time flew by. Make sure to rent a car at the airport it’s almost an hour away from the rental. Your best bet is requesting four-wheel-drive jeep. We were able to contact the property rental company who helped us connect with a car rental agency.
