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.

This is an amazing property and we had a really great time, start to finish. The grounds/gardens/pool/views are outstanding, the Butler House is a really special place. The host Kay was very responsive and we even got a call from the owner Tim from UK to check on us. I would go back in a heartbeat, it's just that good.
I just can't get over the peacefulness, serenity, beauty and nostalgia of this property. It reminds me of a more simple and peaceful lifestyle. I love it!
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!
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!
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!
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.
Our 4th year at Butler’s was more heavenly than before. The main house was painted, new pans,new rugs which all made for a more spiffed up Butler’s. The gardens remain magnificent under the care of Franklin and Tony and have grown significantly! The gardenia on the terrace bloomed.There were more star fruit than you could possible eat. I understand in June there are five kinds of mango trees in fruit. We hike to the first waterfall on Mt Nevis or swim for at Herberts, Pinney’s or Chrishi’s. The owner is an absolute sweetie pie and very responsive. The staff are amazing. Having sailed the Caribbean, this is the spot. Read on line about Butler’s historical past.

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.
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.
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.
This was our third visit to Butler's House. It is one of the most beautiful, peaceful surroundings I have experienced. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. But for me, the perfect feature for the home is that great front porch with its comfortable furniture, constant cool breezes and magnificent view out into the Atlantic. Derek, the manager, was professional, well organized and went out of his way to assist us in our stay. The process of being met in St. Kitts, getting to the ferry, and later returning to St. Kitts was totally without stress on our part. He was very helpful in getting and returning the rental car and being in touch when necessary. I recommend this rental to anyone who wants a simple, pleasant and tranquil stay in Nevis.

Beautiful house and property, the ultimate relaxing vacation
Great location, beautiful comfortable house, great views and superb grounds
Beautiful tropical setting with ocean views providing the backdrop for a very special family holiday
The property is stunning - both the main house and cottage. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with verandas from which to see the sunrise over the Atlantic and to spend lazy evenings enjoying the sounds of the cicadas and tree frogs and the cooling breezes.We made use of all the outdoor seating areas , especially the pool and the landscaped grounds provided a perfect venue for morning yoga! We sailed, snorkeled, sunbathed on the beaches (Cades Bay was our favourite), and hiked in the rainforest - the waterfall hike near the house is not to be missed. The house is well situated to visit all the sites on the island and also the restaurants. We also had a special dinner at the house with an excellent private chef. We would love to return!
We have stayed on Nevis before in villas but this was out favourite. Beautiful gardens. Fabulous pool. The cottage gave our group some extra privacy. We’ll be back!
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!

Paradise & Privacy
Butler's House is paradise. You don't need to leave the property - the grounds are extensive and full of wonderful colours, the panoramic views of the ocean can be seen from all spots including from the pool and outdoor dining tables.The privacy of the property is unrivalled. It's a setting for a movie.

The peace and calm on Butlers House soothed every fibre of your body.
PLEASE NOTE - I have submitted this on behalf of a family who stayed at Butlers House in Jan 2018 and had not booked via VRBO.
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!!
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!! Melissa
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!

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!
