Lux Condo w/Views, Htd Pool, Priv. Beach, Golf Cart, Kayaks, AS SEEN ON HGTV

JUST FEATURED ON HGTV'S BAHAMAS LIFE! "Over The Rainbow" Vistas (unit 2A at the Buttonwood Reserve Oceanfront Condominium Resort) is a bottom-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. 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.

Good for a longer stay
The listing oversold this place a little, it was less luxurious than I was expecting. It was fine and the property manager Brett was great, I was just underwhelmed. First thing I noticed was it was not on the beach, it’s in a field. Which is my main complaint, I wanted to roll out of bed and drink coffee on the beach and have wine on the beach for sunset. Which brings me to the second point. Yes you can take a fairly long golf cart ride to the beach, but it’s not very well appointed. There were literally 25 wine glasses, but not a single plastic cup or cup with a lid to take the aforementioned beverages to the beach. Not any staples at all, the coffee maker didn’t work, there was no Kleenex, that kind of stuff. Then the golf cart broke, then we had a mouse and had to have traps all over the kitchen. That cost us two nights of sleep. First from hearing it eating our plantain chips then from hearing it scream caught in the sticky pad we had to figure out how to remove from the house at 2:00am. Finally the location on Eleuteria. I had never to been to this island before just Abaco and so was expecting remote, but not that I needed a car to leave the unit. I thought the beach was out the front door, but it’s actually out the front entrance of the property and across the street. The Atlantic beach is maybe a mile away, which is what the golf carts are for. You can’t take them anywhere else. My review says good for a longer stay because of this, if we had made the hour long drive to the good grocery store we would have had provisions and not needed to go out, but we didn’t want to spend a whole day doing that. the grocery stores it says are close are not grocery stores they are more mini marts and had no fruit or vegetables. Anyway since we didn’t really have anything but a can of Maxwell House from the mini mart, we had to get in the car for every meal and nothing really opens until noon that is close by. Most restaurants were about 20 minutes away. I’m making this seem like a super negative review, but the place is fine. Just trying to help people who’s first time to Eluthera, this might not be the place for you.

Very relaxing
One of the prettiest beaches on the island! Our unit was very clean and nicely decorated. It was fun to drive the golf cart to the beach. Only reason there aren’t 5 stars is that we lost power 4 different days. A generator would be nice!
