Stunning Sea View Plantation Retreat with House & Cottage

A departure from the usual villa rental holidays, Butler's is a private historic retreat with a Great House and Cottage on 6 acres of a former plantation situated atop the village which shares its name. Butler's House and Cottage comfortably accommodates up to 7 guests and is only rented to one party at a time so guests have exclusive use of the pool & gardens..

Nestled in the foothills of Butlers Mountain, the property commands sweeping sea views with an intoxicating landscape of colour and fragrance. Spend your days lounging by the 35 foot pool while gazing out to the sea or take a stroll through the ruins and extensive gardens. You may discover an artefact and even run into a family of green monkeys.

The main House is and feels like a home and comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 1 small children under 10. Tastefully decorated with an eclectic selection of antique and sympathetic modern furniture, you'll quickly ease into the comfortable surroundings of the House. Butler's House has two Queen-sized bedrooms with generous bathrooms. The third bedroom features a comfortable daybed with trundle and its own video viewing and is suitable for a young child under 10.

Butler's Cottage, a Nevisian-style home, bridges the gap between the 17th century property and modern day by reflecting the elegant simplicity and homeliness of the historic Butler's House. Sitting contentedly on the Upper Terrace, the Cottage is close enough to the House for ease, yet far enough away for privacy. It is rented out in conjunction with the House and accommodates 2 adults.

The Cottage, measuring 23 ft x 23 ft with an 8 ft verandah, is open plan with a simple kitchen, a bathroom, bedroom and living area. There is a Queen-sized bed (in the bedroom) and a daybed with trundle in the living area.

Housekeeping, pool cleaning and a gardener are included. A cook can be arranged with advance notice. Wireless, cable TV installed.

Guests have exclusive use of the house, pool & gardens regardless of how many bedrooms are rented.


Upon arrival to Nevis, we can help to arrange for you a taxi to bring you to Butler’s House where our local agent will greet you and answer any questions. Our agent can also arrange to book the taxi and also arrange your rental car. Your first dinner can be arranged and food supplies provided.

Our Favorite Vacation Place
This was our third stay at Butler's House. Such a beautiful, charming, historic property. We brought friends with us this time to enjoy it as well! The house and cottage are very comfortable and well-equipped for cooking. The pool is lovely, set amongst gorgeous gardens with breathtaking views all around. We love the house and staff at Butler's so much, as they are all wonderful people (Kay, Camella, Tony, Franklin, and of course, Tim). We couldn't recommend this place highly enough and will certainly be back again!

Beautiful property & atmospheric experience
We had wanted to visit this property for quite some time and it was certainly worth the wait. The property itself has an old world charm and exudes a sense of history. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen has everything a cook might need to prepare meals, we were very impressed. With the ceiling fans and vents open there was a good breeze through the house. A great home. Nevis is a lovely island with so many interesting sights. We particularly enjoyed dinner at Golden Rock, Bananas, and Passions. We recommend the hike up to the nearby waterfall. Thanks to Kay, Camella, Tim, and the gardener from Guyana whose name slips my mind. We hope to return.

Just phenomenal
We had a wonderful time at Butler's. The communication before arrival was clear and easy to understand. Kay took great care of us and organized both the journey to the house and the rental car for us. Camella showed us around the house at check-in and gave us tips for shopping on the island. We felt well looked after at all times and will certainly stay there again. Thank you for this extraordinary stay!

Butler's House Nevis
We last stayed in the house in January 2020. Despite all of the trauma that intervened in the past five years, Butlers House and grounds remained as beautiful and even magical as we remembered. We spent a great deal of time either at the teak table on the side porch or sitting on the couches on the large front porch. The views from all perspectives were perfect. We continued to read together outdoors far into the evening. We have no substantive complaints about anything. There were some communication problems with the on island management. I think perhaps better coordination would help deal with any of the issues we had. Inside the house was clean, attractive and very livable. The house is set on a hill and does catch all of the excellent breezes off of the Atlantic. The temperature indoors was always nice. All of the appliances worked well. The pool was clean and beautiful I do not think there could be a more picturesque place to swim in the Americas. Of course the grounds are beautiful, not dissimilar to many botanical gardens and even more approachable. I have no hesitation in recommending Butlers House in Nevis to anyone who seeks beauty, peace and calm.

Our family spent a magical week at Butler’s House in Dec. It is such a unique spot - so lush and beautiful. We spent many hours on the shady veranda and by the pool. The property manager is so helpful and offered us much appreciated guidance for meals and activities and travel logistics. We have already booked a return visit!

Staying at the Butler's house was an amazing experience. We felt very much at home on this island and on this beautifully maintained property. Had many coffees and home cooked meals on the porch and veranda. We enjoyed meeting the staff and learning more about the local culture. Hope to return someday!

Wonderful experience!!!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The owner (Tim) and the local property manager (Kay) were both remarkably helpful and pleasant to work with. The property itself is gorgeous, with lovely grounds, sweeping views, a constant, lovely breeze, etc. We rented a car (with Kay's help), and that allowed for easy navigation to beaches, horseback riding, restaurants, etc. For anyone visiting Nevis, I urge you to stay at Butlers!!

Stunning House and Garden
Butler's House is historically significant and fascinating and has been renovated and kept up to a very high standard. The 6 acres of professionally landscaped grounds are absolutely beautiful. Camella, the house caretaker, and Kay, the house manager, are delightful and lovely people who made my stay as easy and pleasurable as possible. Looking forward to renting Butler's House again!!

Perfect for us
Gorgeous well landscaped grounds with view of both the mountains and the sea. It is hiking distance to the rain forest where you can find the waterfalls. Then, 15-20 minutes later you can be swimming in the gorgeous sea. Being on the windward side Nevis you are assured of a breese and rain forest rains, which we loved. As we live on an island year round, we likened it to be up island, away from the busier sections. Nevis is gorgeous so wherever you go you’ll be delighted.

Christmas in Paradise
Our two week Christmas break was spent in this incredible home. Everything was so absolutely perfect. I spent every sunrise on the porch amazed at the endless ocean views. The attention to detail and comfort reveal the love that was put into the restoration of the home. Having Christmas dinner by candlelight at the beautiful table is a memory to cherish. We truly hope to be able to return one day soon. Thank you again! The Weatheralls

Butler’s Paradise
My family and I, along with my sister-in-law’s family, stayed at this amazing property. We were very excited from what we saw on-line, but were overwhelmed with just how beautiful this property was in-person. The kids loved the pool, the guesthouse, and exploring the expansive property. The quaint home had so much charm, plenty of room for our large group, and the beautifully landscaped grounds were breathtaking. It was also well supplied with necessities. Our communication with Tim and Kay was easy and informative. Lovely management team! We would definitely love to stay at Butler’s house again - thanks, Tim, Kay & Camella!

Our home in the Carribean
This is our second time staying at Butler's house on Nevis. The first time we were without children; we enjoyed it so much that we decided to return with our 2 littles ones this time. We had additional family join us all the way from Anchorage, Alaska. We spent time playing in the pool every day and loved sitting out for coffee and home cooked meals on the veranda or on the patio next to the kitchen. We enjoyed new restaurants (Drift and L'Escale) that opened on the island since our initial visit, but perhaps a favorite activity is stopping by Esmie's on the way back to Butler's for a cold one after almost full day of activities. We collected mangos from around the property and ripened for home made mango smoothies with some tequila. The house is located on the side of island with a perpetual breeze, so even on the hottest days it still feels cool in the shade. The host and his team are very responsive by email and/or phone. Wifi is speedy in the main part of the house. Netflix available. In summary, the whole family had a wonderful time at Butler's. The people of Nevis are warm and inviting. We will probably return again in the future when the kids are older.

Exceptional!
Our second stay at Butlers House. The property is truly magical with spectacular landscaped grounds, a gorgeous pool, quaint cottage, breathtaking views of both ocean and mountains, and abundant outdoor seating on decks and patios. The interior of the house is comfortable and historically fascinating. What really puts a stay at Butlers over the top, however, is the attentive care and friendliness of the staff from Kay, the house manager, to Camella the lovely and meticulous housekeeper, to Tony, the head of the grounds crew. Other delights are the morning and early evening shenanigans of the local troup of Vervet monkeys and the perambulations of the Butlers goat herd. This house is very special. Can't wait to visit again.

The Best Private Escape !!
Butler's house is incredible! A true paradise! The house, grounds, pool and location were amazing. Talk about bucolic and a true escape from real life! It had everything ! We were a bit nervous about no air conditioning on a tropical island but now we know why :) ! The breezes were the best ! The property had all we needed, a mini resort. Some days we didn't go anywhere, just stayed and relaxed. The porch was the spot in the morning and in the evening after dinner. There were so many options - hang by the pool, read on the porch, walk the grounds etc. that everyone could do their own thing. The home and cottage easily accommodated our extended family group. The amenities were excellent. The property manager, Kay was easy to communicate with and very responsive! Butler's is on our list for a return vacation !!!

Incredible Property - Feels Like Home!
My husband and I had the most enjoyable stay at Butler’s House and cannot recommend it enough! The property and gardens are so beautiful they will take your breath away! The owner (Tim) went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay, the house manager (Kay) made all our travel arrangements to and from the island a breeze and was a true pleasure to communicate with, the housekeeper (Camella) was a joy to talk with and takes meticulous care of the home, the gardeners (Tony and Franklyn) work diligently to keep the grounds as beautiful as any botanical garden you’ve ever seen, and the privacy of the property is second to none. We’ve been to Nevis several times prior and explored much of the island, but the views from the verandah and pool at Butler’s House had us rarely wanting to leave the property on this trip. There is so much history to the property, which makes it very unique from any other villa we’ve stayed in on Nevis before. The owners did a remarkable job preserving the sense of history while ensuring the accommodations have all the modern-day luxuries you would expect. All in all, this was one of our favorite places we’ve stayed in from anywhere in the world, and we cannot wait to return soon!

Beautiful manor house overlooking the sea
My wife and I, together with my sister and her husband, thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at the Butler House. The house itself is an historic manor house, lovingly restored and beautifully furnished. The extensive grounds include many tropical specimen plantings. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor verandah gazing at the sea below. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon, we enjoyed watching monkeys come out of the woods and frolic on the lawns, on the stone walls and in the trees. Although somewhat distant from the better restaurants and beaches in Nevis which are mainly located on the west coast of the island, the island is small enough that that did not present a big problem for us. In fact ,Butler House's somewhat remote location added to our experience giving us the feeling of being in the garden of eden. Nevis is an unspoiled island with a lot of West indian character, friendly people and beautiful beaches and mountain scenery. I recommend this rental property to all who want to experience an authentic Caribbean vacation.

Awesome Vacation
I have always wanted to go to Nevis and when Butlers House came up on VRBO I knew this was the one. We stayed for 3 weeks with different family members visiting. This was the best vacation I have ever had. First the house was amazing. Just like the pictures. We spent the biggest part of our time on the veranda enjoying the lovely garden and the view. The pool was also top notch. I can't put in words how beautiful this house and property is. I was concerned about the fact there is no A/C but if there had been one it would not have been used. The breezes never stop. The weather was perfect. I cannot say enough about Butlers House and also the property manager Kay Loomis is now a new friend. Enjoyed visiting with her. Camella came 2 times a week to tidy the house for us and we had dinner prepared for us on our first night there. Everyone we met were very friendly. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation this is the House to visit. We plan to return.

Heavenly Retreat
It may not be heaven but I'm pretty sure you can see it from the porch. The home is incredible and CURRENTLY well maintained. A couple small things: We were completely unsure what to do or how to use the housekeeper in the couple of times she showed up - once at 0630. We transported her back to her home. 2nd - there is no "on premises" pool skimmer net. The pool cleaner comes twice per week which is great but he takes his net with him. Unfortunately the bugs and debris do not adhere to the schedule and jump onto the surface of the beautiful pool on the off days. These are such minor issues though. The rum shack down by the main road is great and the people are incredibly friendly. It will be much cheaper to visit the rum shack than any of the main restaurants. The view and breeze are wonderful. My hope is that the current owner maintains his interest in the property and continues to maintain and develop it in the vision begun a few years back. I highly recommend this property.

Third Year Rentor
What a magnificent property cared for by a staff of four. Watch the rising sun from the porch. After your lingering, walk into the rain forest to the first of five waterfalls. After your hour and half hike, relax in the swimming pool. The property sits on the windward side of the island so there is always a breeze and cooler than the populated side of the island. Think of a favorite uncles house in the tropics, where there are plenty of books, full internet you to work remotely, comfortably beds, beautiful bathrooms, quirky and charming. The main room has cozy sofas, chairs and a dining room table for those rain forest days. Lu gardens are beautiful and maintained by Franklin and Tony containing cinnamon, almond, 5 kinds of mango, sour orange, coconut and palm as well as bromeliads and others. Camellla comes in twice a week. The washer and dryer in the basement opens up to the south with views of mountains and the sea. Rams is a well stocked grocery also the closer Best Buy. The vegetable stands are abundant. There are many restaurants nearby, Hermitage, Drifts and Heritage being our favorite. For a treat, we go to Golden Rock where the chefs are top notch. Indian Summer and Bananas is worth the effort. Drive to Chishi’s for a day at the beach or Herbert’s for a quick swim. Say hello to our friendly neighbors. On Friday a local custom is chicken, our neighbors make a great version. There is a health clinic at the bottom of the road. The owner is responsive and fair.
