About this property

SettleDown-3 B/R Ocean Front at Chukka Cove w/Private Plunge Pool & Chef

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

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.

James R., UK

Lovely villa in a lovely location with great service
This is a beautiful villa, well planned with lots of seating areas and set in lovely grounds. Paulette, who took care of us, was truly the best - she came in every day but somehow didn’t seem to be there until you needed her then she would simply appear - she kept the place immaculate, is an excellent cook, and was fun, informative and helpful. Jan who manages the 6 villas was also easily available if needed. The shoreline at the property can get quite rough but there is a sheltered sandy cove for sunloungers, and a larger cove 5 mins walk away for swimming. Chukka Tours (25% discount) will pick you up at the villa but it is easy to organise trips yourself by taxi or local car rental and do things in your own time and away from large groups if you prefer. The tourist attractions around Ocho Rios are a short drive away, it is also well worth going into the hills around Bamboo and Browns Town, and you can walk to the local supermarket. It is quieter than Negril, where we spent a second week, but if that’s what you want then Chukka Cove is perfect. The only thing I would have added is screens to the bedroom windows to sleep with the windows open and listen to the surf and the night sounds :)

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.
