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 10 guests and is only rented to one party at a time so guests have exclusive use of the pool & gardens regardless of how many bedrooms are rented.

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.

Butler’s House is and feels like a home and comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 2 children under 16. 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.

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 contendedly 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 accomodates
2 adults and 2 children under 16.

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

                            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.

                            Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

                            Owner response: Dear Corey, I am so glad that you had a wonderful time at Butlers House. Thank you for your valuable feedback. I have taken everything on board and will work to resolve them. My enthusiasm and love for Butlers House and Nevis has not diminished since I lost my wife last year. We had a dream and with the help of some wonderful people we realised that vision. I intend to continue the hardwork to build on what we have already created. Tim

                            We loved Butlers...the house, the pool, the grounds, the patio,the staff, the little bar down the hill. (great people,please say hello to them from us) Diane and Tim were great...if something went down, they took care of it right away. It was a sad morning for us when we had to say goodbye to our "home" that we had for two wonderful weeks. Thank you for sharing your home with us..... Rhonda and Jim Canada

                            The beauty of the grounds and your lovely house gave us enormous pleasure. We have been in awe of all you have done here. We leave happy people.

                            Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family. The Butler's House is unique, special and off the beaten path! Our favorite room in the House=Front Porch. Dinners by candlelight with views of the ocean. You have a great collection of CD's. The Dining Room was our dance floor. The kitchen: wow! Every detail of your home is charming. Married for 22 years=most romantic place we've ever stayed!!! Past vacations to St Barts, Anguilla, St Maarten, St Martin, Out Islands, Bahamas, Bermuda, Great Barrier Reef Australia. Nevis=Most Friendly Island. The Butler's House...A Little Slice of Heaven!!!

                            We came to the island with a long list of things to see and do and we'll have to get to them all next week! We enjoyed the house so much we rarely wanted to leave. Relaxing mornings on the verandah, afternoon naps and swimming in the pool and a daily meal watching the monkeys in the trees! The property was incredibly beautiful and well maintained... A true week on vacation--we loved it!

                            Shortly after becoming engaged last year we began hunting for a perfect honeymoon spot. There's some nice places out there but, really, all these Caribbean vacation homes begin to look the same. We wanted something special...unique. Then one day I stumbled on Butler's House. It wasn't on the beach like we wanted and it lacked AC, but we knew the moment we saw it that it was perfect for us. This place has exceeded our expectations. We leave tomorrow but we leave having had the most amazing honeymoon two people can have...

                            We have thoroughly enjoyed this little enchanted oasis -- from the wonderful house to the pool to the beautiful grounds. We, too, could have stayed a lifetime!

                            This was a perfect place to stay. We've been visiting the Caribbean for 24 years and Butler's and Nevis are on top of the list...Really enjoyed the history of the island and Butler's House. The Butler House gardens are amazingly diverse and wonderfully maintained....Only stayed 1 week but could have stayed a lifetime.

                            It is a wonderful quiet location with beautiful gardens and pool... Stayed in for dinner and later watched the bats dive over the pool at night. The monkey's also appear in the evening looking for oranges. It was all wonderful and we hope to be back again!

                          About the owner: In 2005, we bought, restored and rennovated an old plantation home (circa 1700's) on the charming island of Nevis. We never really knew what we had until the restoration process began. During that time, Tim & I realised that--like owners before us-- we are caretakers, ensuring Butler's will be around for many generations to come.
