A getaway weekend

The place is beautiful just needs a few upgrades maybe some tv s in the bedrooms and the tv was in and out most of the time starlink was having issues. The grounds can use some flowers around the condos for a welcoming first sight

Great for families

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Buttonwood was a great spot for a family visit! The home was clean with plenty of kitchen equipment to make meals. Paddleboards were a plus to have for the calm Caribbean side. Golf carts and bikes made it easy to cruise through nature and get to the Atlantic. Ideal spot for sunrise and both beaches were always empty. Pam was very helpful and responsive with questions leading up to the trip and Brett was readily available for questions on site.

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!

Fantastic Visit to Beautiful Eleuthera!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: "My family and I spent last week on beautiful Eleuthera at Buttonwood Resort. There was so much we loved about the island and the resort. The lodgings were incredible! Everything we needed was provided. Matthew Simon answered any questions we had quickly. It was nice to have someone at the property during the day. The blue waters and beaches are unsurpassed.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We brought a team of youth and adults down to the island to do some mission work. The accommodations were great for our large group - the main lodge provided enough room for our large group time and meals. Matt, Brett, and the entire team were super responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Inspect Condo Prior to Guest Arrival

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bottom Line Up Front: No A/C in the master bedroom or living room for the entire stay, unable to secure house (master bedroom rear door would not lock) entire stay, finally unable to secure valuables in Master Room Safe (literally did not function, deadbolts where extended, meaning I needed a code to retract them.Recommendations:1- Maintenance personnel need to ensure all things are in working order prior to guest arrival2- Once the guest report issues to maintenance it is not the responsibility of the guest to continually follow up on facility issues nor is it the guest's responsibility to discover major mechanical problems on 1st day of vacation.

The property has a great pool for the kids to swim and plenty of lounge chairs to relax. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to make your stay enjoyable whether it was recommending a local restaurant, grocery store, nearest ATM or gas station, or even a local beach to explore.

Our Buttonwood Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked 4 condos and the main lodge for my husband's 40th and our daughter's 13th. Matt, was absolutely awesome from day 1. He helped me with the price significantly. When we got there however, there was one room that I got instead of another from what I reserved. In the main lodge's loft, there is no AC which made it uncomfortable for my children, the washing machine was not hooked up and the stove, fridge and sink were dirty. In addition, there was no hot water. In a few of the other condos, there were lizards and bugs issue as well as lack of hot water.I'm saying all this to let you know that no situation was perfect but this is by far the BEST AND NICEST PLACE IN ELEUTHERA. If you visit, you should do so at this property. They have a pool, golf carts, kayaks, paddle board and bicycles. You didn't have to do anything anywhere else on the island.Regarding my complaints, they were all corrected as Matt was up after 12am when I made the complaints and by the morning almost everything was addressed. The bonus was that I was given another unit free of charge so I could enjoy more space for me and my guests. Brett never gave up in addressing our issues showing up several times per day to ensure everything works and we are comfortable. What a blessing.Point is, this is the best place on the island and trust me, I know because we drove everywhere. THANK YOU BRETT, THANK YOU MATT!If I were to visit again, it would be Buttonwood Reserve.

Loved, loved, loved!

Our family (college aged daughters) absolutely fell in love with this place! We completely enjoyed using the golf cart to head over to our secluded beach as well as right out front to the calm carribean side where we looked for shells, swam, and snorkeled. The place was perfect! Highly recommend!!

Buttonwood Reserve Unit 2A "Over the Rainbow" is awesome!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just returned from a fabulous stay at Buttonwood Reserve in Eleuthera. This property is very tastefully decorated with excellent views of the Caribbean Sea to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Sun rises and sun sets are spectacular! We could not have been more pleased with our unit "Over the Rainbow". It is spacious, private, and offers beautiful water views from every window. The property, which sits on an elevated ridge, is well maintained and centrally located in close proximity to restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed the pool, which is heated, and we visited several unforgettable nearby beaches. We especially loved our trip to Governor's Harbor where we enjoyed breakfast at The Buccaneer and dinner at the 1648 restaurants. Eleuthera is a unique place with lots of local Bahamian charm. You can definitely feel the love here!

The Best Place On The Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the entire Buttonwood Reserve compound for a group of 16 friends. The place is amazing, and perfect for large groups who want a little more privacy than a large resort would allow. The condos were clean and stocked with all the items you'll need to survive your vacation. There is an amazing private beach on the Atlantic side, which was one of our favorite places to chill. I highly recommend Buttonwood, as it really is one of the best places on Eleuthera.
