SettleDown-3 B/R Ocean Front at Chukka Cove w/Private Plunge Pool including cook

~Note to our Guests~
I hope you are your families are well. Many of you have heard about hurricane Melissa and the devastation it caused in parts of Jamaica. What is happening now, however, is a misconception that the entire Island is affected or "closed", and as a result, many guests are cancelling out of concern or uncertainly.
The truth is that much of Jamaica, including our area, remains open and fully operational. And is actually the time when our island needs visitors the most. Tourism is our strongest sector, and when travellers continue to come, it directly supports the communities that are working ti rebuild. Every booking helps families, small businesses, farmers, drivers, and so many others who rely on the industry! If you are speaking with friends or anyone considering a trip, please help us spread the word, Jamaica is still welcoming guests, and your visit truly makes a difference!

SettleDown Villa is a 3 Bedroom, stairs enclosure home with Private Plunge Pool (not a hot tub) and daily cook & housekeeping. It is safe with 24 hours security. This is not a 24 hours full service villa.

SettleDown is a sweet spot gem with amazing views of the mountain on one side and the ocean on the other. There’s a gentle breeze with a large patio set in a tropical garden; the front lawn was used in the filming of the 2016 Season 20 finale of the Bachelor with Ben Higgins at Chukka Cove Polo Club!

Conveniently located between the resort towns of Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay off Jamaica's North Coast highway, and tucked away at Chukka Cove Polo Club, SettleDown Villa 2 provides unique access to a truly Jamaican experience.

SettleDown villa sits in a lovely groomed area shared with only five other villas. Here in rural Jamaica, you may wake up to the sound of roosters, sometimes hear the neighboring dogs barking before bedtime; can listen to the crickets and frogs songs at night. So immerse yourself in the real Jamaica and soak your cares away. A safe place to vacation without being locked in a compound like the mega All Inclusive hotels!

This private gem has a first, second and third bedroom all with full en-suite bathrooms on the upper level. The large open covered veranda leading into the cozy dining room which seats 6; the kitchen, pantry, outdoor bar, powder room and its very own private plunge pool - all located on the ground level.

The cliffs at Chukka Cove are dramatic and extensive, great for exploring or simply listening to the sound of the waves crashing ashore. On calm days, a ladder takes you into the cool clear waters. On property is a small sandy cove, safe and perfect for young children to swim and play or for sun-tanning. On days when the sea swells up and you seek calmer waters, a two minute walk east along the edge of the polo field takes you to the spectacular Chukka Cove, a sheltered bay where the waters are always calm and cliff jumping, swimming and snorkelling are a must.

What`s included?
* Friendly and attentive staff provide housekeeping and meal preparation services. Staff arrives daily to keep SettleDown villa2 spotless and prepare authentic Jamaican dishes. Groceries and tips are extra, and at your cost.

* VIP arrangements for pre-stocked groceries with delivery services from L & M supermarket. Of Course, you are always welcome to shop yourselves at other supermarkets ~not included in our rates~ and at your cost.

You can choose to rent a car online, at the airport or when you arrive at SettleDown. (Pre-arranged rates for transportation) ~not included in our rates~and at your cost.

*Need to unwind and rejuvenate, we can arrange a private licensed masseuse at the comfort of SettleDown villa. (pre-arranged rates apply). At your cost

* VIP rates at 25% discount for all Chukka Tours including the famous Zipline over Dunn's River Falls.

Lovely Villa

Very well maintained villa. The housekeeper, Pauline, was friendly, and her cooking was delicious. Would have liked to utilize the small beach area for the kids, but it wasn't conducive at the time. Lovely property, and the protected cove is perfect for more advanced swimmers. Would definitely recommend and repeat visit!!

Beautiful setting, but a little far from town for folks who like to go on excursions and dine out.

It was a good experience for being a first time visitor to Jamaica. We loved our villa and the beautifully manicured landscape. A package price for transportation would have been extremely helpful since it’s too far to walk anywhere.

It was a dream location with the sound of the sea bringing a calm and relaxing feel to the stay. The surroundings were stunning, lots of birds and incredible plants. The sea was perfectly clear and the snorkelling was absolutely amazing. I just loved the views. The staff were incredible and really went out of their way to help. Anthony and Andrew were fantastic and between them took us to the bat cave which was magical, and other areas of interest, as well as to the nearby beach. Miss P was a fantastic cook and really helped us feel at home, nothing was too much trouble and she went out of her way to help us celebrate our daughters’ birthdays whilst we were out there. It’s the perfect base to explore the area and the most perfect place to relax. I can’t recommend it enough and would return in a heartbeat.

The SettleDown property is everything as described and more! The pictures are accurate and you are steps away from the ocean. The property is conveniently located on the north side of the island. We had so many options for excursions, landmarks, and places to go. There is security on the meticulous property and thanks to Ms P running things, it feels like a home away from home. Marc and Trish were great hosts and were very accommodating. We’d definitely come again!!

Tony was a great guide and showed us all the perks of the property !Andrew protected the grounds and made sure we felt safe at all times.

This accommodations were better then I ever imagined. The view, the quietness and the staff were amazing. Paulette was just so friendly. I looked forward to seeing her show up every morning just to see her big smile. Paulette is a fabulous cook! Every morning we watched the horses walk by our villa. We would feed them mangos. We felt very safe with Phillip walking around at night. We hope to make it back to Jamaica one day and if we do we will stay at villa 2!!

secluded bliss

This beautiful villa is one of six on a cliff overlooking the gorgeous Caribbean Sea. There is path and ladder access to the water, a shared pool with high end loungers and a cute covered sitting area by the pool when you're wanting to look out at the water. We loved the ample well appointed outdoor covered living area with fans to keep the air moving. We spent all our time at the villa outside listening to the waves. Pauline took great care of us, served excellent Jamaican meals as we requested and came shopping with us to the local market in St Anne's Bay. This is my second visit to the villas at Chukka and I will be returning for sure.

Nice Peaceful Stay

We spent a total of 10 days at the SettleDown villa and it did not disappoint. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and our anniversary so we wanted a nice location and this was it. The property is amazing and very peaceful. I want to give a special shout out to Mrs. Pauline who went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasant one! Her food preparation and attention to detail are unmatched! Our 12 month old daughter clung to her and felt comfortable which made the trip that much more enjoyable as it felt as if we were with family. Mrs. P was even instrumental in our daughter taking her first steps by herself and freely walking! Communication with the hosts was fairly easy and the response time was really good. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return for our next vacay!

She was a pleasure to be around and so helpful. Pool was warm and the ocean was even warmer. Anthony was so helpful with jumping off the cliffs. All staff you run into on the grounds are friendly and willing to go above and beyond.

To see the beautiful island and for convenience stay in Chukka villa#2 you shout rent a car. The villa is absolutely fantastic, amazing! The view from the terrace is that you will never forget! Paullet, housekeeper is polite and helps with everything. I strongly recommend to stay here! We traveled around all the island and the sea is the most beautiful in Chukka Cove. You will find everything you can need in the house. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools. So if you want to have a comfortable stay you should stay in Chukka villa#2.

Simply put...paradise!!

OMG my family of 4 spent 8 days at the SettleDown Villa and it was beyond amazing. The property inside and out was immaculate. Pauline, the chef, cooked us so many authentic Jamaican meals we wanted to bring her home with us. Pipi, the driver, was dialed in to our every need and he knows EVERYONE, so when you want to do the usual tourist stuff, he knows the people to call to help expedite your adventure. Ask Pipi to show you 'another side of humanity' and maybe he'll take you to his fishing village like he did for us. Also, be sure to ask Tony to take you swimming with the bats!! Overall, 5 stars isn't a high enough rating what my family got out of our vacation. It would have been delightful either way, but Pauline, Pipi, Tony and the SettleDown Villa in general are WELL WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! We will most def be staying the next time we go!!

The ocean and cove are absolutely beautiful!

Each year we take a week long sibling trip and we allow one to choose the destination. This year was Jamaica. As none of us had been here before we wanted a true cultural experi ence and this was nothing less than that. Ms. Paulette was absolutely the best. She prepared local dishes daily that were better than what you could find in a restaurant. The driver Clarence and our security guard really took care of us and we always felt safe and secure. We took drives in the mountains to shopping locally, whatever we desired was just a call away. Waking up in the mornings and watching the horses gallop in front of the villa daily was a pleasure to the beautiful sunsets sitting on the beach. The atmosphere was very relaxing and we often spent much time on the patio fellowshiping and enjoying watching a cruise ship every now and again. If you need to unwind, detach and not feel like a tourist this is definitely the spot to choose.
