PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION so you understand exactly what you are renting. We break everything down by section so it is easy to read and understand.

WHO WE ARE AS HOSTS;
We have been VRBO/HomeAway Premier Hosts since 2016 so you can book with confidence. We have many thousands of reviews online for our 20+ properties in multiple locations and countries. Our average review rating for all properties is 4.95 stars average out of 5.0 stars.

PERKS YOU ONLY GET WITH US;
When booking with us as our guests, (and only our guests), receive discounts on the swimming pigs, adventure tours, fishing charters and snorkel trips. You will also get a special discount when using our car rental guy. We also have an incredible and extensive Trip Planner Document that provides each guest awesome tips on everything from; where to eat and drink, the best beaches, blue holes, cave systems, and all the best stuff to do all over the island. Most guests find that document to be invaluable for a great trip.

COTTAGE LOCATION;
The cottage is in a great location in Hatchet Bay which is small town with friendly people in the upper middle part of the island which is perfect for exploring everything to the north and south. We are located 25 minutes from Governor's Harbor Airport and 35 minutes from North Eleuthera Airport. The little town has restaurants, bars, beaches and food stores you can walk to. It is very safe and friendly even for single female visitors at night. There are many other additional world class beaches and other restaurants and adventures within minutes of the cottage. It is critical to be in a great location on an island that is 110 miles long and half a mile wide, otherwise you are in for a lot of driving with some very expensive gas prices.

COTTAGE DESCRIPTION;
The property is situated on a stunningly beautiful 2 acre peninsula with over 500 feet of shoreline and a few other cottages yet all are private with foliage and fencing. The studio style air conditioned cottage has an awesome deck that overhangs the ocean. There is a table and chairs for al-fresco dining and two lounge chairs for lying out in the sun. You will see Eagle Rays swimming by daily and all sorts of marine life from the deck. The interior is open and bright with fabulous ocean views from the sleeping area and the kitchen window. Just keep in mind it is small studio style design with a queen bed in the sleeping area - please see our listing photos. Listening to the ocean each night as you fall asleep along with the gentle trade winds provides for some real peace and tranquility. A small inside dining table for 2 people and small, but full kitchen. The kitchen has a 4 burner gas stove with oven, kitchen sink, full size fridge, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker and all the normal kitchen gadgets. There is a 36 flat screen TV mounted on a wall shelf with cable TV. The property has Wi-Fi, both inside the cottage an on the expansive property grounds. There are beach chairs and a charcoal grill. ***Safety note if you are traveling with small children, the deck railings run horizontal and not vertical so a small child could fit through the slats just so you are aware. See photos to see what we mean. Overall this is one of the most stunning rentals on the island with the insanely dramatic deck views all at an affordable price.

SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY;
Unlike the 95% of rental properties that are owned by foreigners, this property is owned by the McCardy family who are local Bahamians. So the funds you are spending goes right back into the local economy versus being wired to some foreign bank account which we think is pretty darn awesome.

PETS AND SUPPORT ANIMALS:
Please note we do not accept any pets, emotional, support or therapy animals due to extreme allergies/health related issues in our family.

ELEUTHERA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE;
If Miami Beach or Vegas is your thing we respectfully suggest you pick a different destination. Eleuthera is a sleepy island with some flaws; bad roads, dated infrastructure, there can be power / water / internet outages and the occasional gecko on the wall. The trade off is going back in time 75 years to an unspoiled gorgeous island where you will explore the most stunning beaches you have ever seen and have them usually all to yourself. The seafood is fantastically good. The people are warm and genuine, crime is very low and the vibe is super chill. We love it and so do 95% of our guests.

    This property is listed with washing machine/facilities which it does not have. Also listed air conspiring which did not work. Ended up staying at another place.

    The little cottage was delightful. Great deck right over the water. Comfortable lounge chairs on the deck as well as a table and two chairs. Comfortable bed. The ceiling fan and heat pump kept us cool. We did have some trouble with the cable tv. Very fuzzy. Kitchen had most of what we needed. We did buy a couple of wine glasses.Evenings were quiet and lovely. We could walk to most things in town from the property.Nicole was helpful.We enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it.

    I had a real nice time here & the host was very helpful when I contacted her. Finding the cottage in Hatchet Bay took awhile. The exact location with landmarks would be beneficial. While the cottage is furnished with needed items, it is not as furnished as other properties I have stayed at. More details regarding the TV and the gas stove would help significantly.

    This cottage is a great place to stay on Eleuthera. It is centrally located so you can visit beaches and restaurants in the north and south. Loved the sounds of the waves hitting the rocks Be sure to go outside at night and look up at the starts. Highly recommend.

    The deck is the highlight of the property. We enjoyed breakfast, cocktails and dinner out there along with a beautiful breeze and sunsets. The space is small but has everything you need. The beach chairs,cooler and cold packs were a welcome surprise! Nicole the owner was very nice.

    My husband and I stayed at the Buttonwood Cottage and had an amazing stay! The host was very responsive, friendly, and helpful. We loved the private balcony and being able to end our day with a lovely view of the ocean. It was a great central location between Governor’s Harbor and North Eleuthera for exploring. It was perfect for just the two of us!

    This rental was everything we expected and then some. The views from the outside deck were outstanding both at daytime with a crazy amount of wildlife right below your feet and at night with the lack of residual light making it perfect for star gazing. This island is not like other Bahamian islands and not for everyone however a great location to explore from top to bottom. 5 STARS

    Tiny house with everything you need except a closet They even supply beach chairs and a beach cooler. But the really amazing part is the deck on top of a small cliff with view that is 180 degrees of ocean. We didn’t use the air conditioning as the ocean breeze blew right in the windows at the foot of the bed with the sound of the ocean

    The view from the deck is amazing. Your front yard is the ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Buttonwood and will definitely go back. It's tiny, but who needs a huge place while staying in Eleuthera? Get out and explore! Great location. Nicole, the property manager was attentive and responded quickly when we couldn't figure out how to light the stove. Great communication.

    My husband and I stayed at beautiful buttonwood cottage for our 10 year anniversary. We had the best time! The cottage was everything we needed. It was private, centrally located making it very easy to commute to all of Eleuthera attractions. We were very pleased with our experience and plan to return as soon as we can. Thank you so much for an amazing week!
