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.

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!!

Words can’t describe how beautiful this property is. I celebrated my 65th birthday with three of my friends and we had an amazing time. Pauline was the sweetest and a gourmet chef ! 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.

Perfection
The house was exactly as advertised and the property was so fun we hardly left it (and we are typically adventurers!). Cliff jumping, snorkeling, Bat-cave, gorgeous swimming pool, sunsets, amazing food and incredible views. Why would we wander anywhere else! Our chef and housekeeper was a highlight of our trip with a smile that brightened up every room and delicious meal after meal.

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!

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.

Every bit true and amazing!
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!!

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.

Amazing Family Trip
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!!

Traveled with friends for a week. Location was perfect. We were the only people on the property for the entire week. The views from the home were magical. Mrs. P's cooking was perfection. 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. Our friends stayed next door and Mrs. P worked with the staff in the other house to ensure we were all able to eat together. if your looking to get away from it all this is the place you want to be.

Nice cosy house, incredible views!!!! Beautiful gardens around. Totally recommended
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. Wifi, hot water is stable- I know it is important things.

This was an amazingly relaxing trip. We received clear communication in advance to prepare for our trip. Our driver, Pie Pie was professional. The Villa was as described and very clean which was an absolute priority. We ate and we rested. The bed was comfortable. Ms. P was amazing! She spoiled us with all the wonderful food she served us. Her wonderful cooking and conversation made our experience awesome. She prepared ox tails, curry goat, curry shrimp, rice and peas, shrimp quesadilla, fried snapper and more! Yummy! Andrew served as security and an excellent tour guide around the property. Martin gave us some shells from the ocean. The spa pool was amazing. The view and the sound of the ocean were phenomenal! I would definitely go back!

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!!

3 Couples Vacation
We stayed at Settle Down for 10 glorious days. The home is beautiful and the view is the best of all the homes we have stayed in Jamaica. What made our stay over the top was Ms Pauline. Her cooking and attention to detail is top notch. We are a group that's in their 60's and spent a great deal at the home and on property. Andrew the security guy always made us feel very safe. We definitely will return. The one thing that has changed in Jamaica is the price of food. Be prepared to spend twice as much than in the US. We used the market the house recommended, but purchased the majority of the food from a market in town, which was cheaper. I have been coming to Jamaica for over 40 years and have watch the changes, but this home takes you back to the authentic Jamaica. Marc/Trish was easy to work with and answered emails quickly. You will not be disappointed with this property.

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.

Beautiful Getaway
We had a great vacation in Jamaica at Villa 2 at Chukka Cove. There was only one other villa occupied while we were there which was nice. Our housekeeper Paulette took great care of the house and cooked some delicious meals. The little sandy beach was great for our 3 year old to dig in the sand and make sand castles. There was some glass that washed there and not all of it was soft sea-glass so we wore shoes and I did a sweep of the beach each time we went down. We spent a ton of time in the pool which was cleaned often and in great condition. We ate all of our meals at the table on the patio so we could enjoy the warm weather and watch the sea. All of the staff were responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The only complaint I have is that there was a leak in the roof directly above the master bed. I was woken up twice by water dripping onto my head which wasn't pleasant. If not for this leak I would probably give 5 stars, everything else was stellar.

Beautiful Views and Awesome People
Villa 2 was absolutely amazing! Paulette and everyone at Villa 2 wanted nothing but the best expierence for all guests! We relaxed the entire vacation. It was so nice to sit out on the patio and listen to the ocean or the horses galloping by at night. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful with the different flowers, tress and fruits all around. Also, with it being so hot it was nice to be able to retreat up to the room to enjoy the ac and still be able to take in the beautiful surroundings from the front sun room! The cove was such a beautiful little spot to hangout and get some sand in our toes. We loved the option of having the pool or going in the ocean especially since those waves can get a little rough in the ocean making it hard to swim. The LFA market was a blessing! Clarence took us out to dinner the one night we did go out and he was so great in explaining what we were passing and giving us pointers. This was our first time in Jamaica and we definitely plan on coming back to hopefully stay at Villa 1 or 2 again. We absolutely loved the staff, the vibes, and the wonderful hospitality! Thank you Mark, Trish and Janet for being so helpful when it came to booking and other questions!

We highly recommend this property!
Everything was just as pictured and described. The villa and our time there was better than we imagined. The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of and we felt safe while staying here. Pauline is a real gem. Her cooking is out of this world, and she took very good care of us. She is a true asset. All the staff we encountered were cordial and friendly. Prior to our arrival, we had ongoing communication with Trish, who arranged our airport pick-up and the delivery of the food and drinks we ordered. Trish always responded quickly. We also used the local mobile spa, SP Aroma–Therapeutic Healing Hands (their brochure is in the villa). Sandra and her team are very professional and thorough. We had Sandra and Malita for our massages and mani pedi, and Melissa Absalam for lash extensions. We would use them all again. As for transportation, the villa does have access to independent drivers. We used them a few times but preferred to use a company we researched, Best Jamaica Day Tours (Shamelia, Leroy and Dainian Austin). We used them for a private tour and private transportation back to the airport. Jamaica Day Tours far exceeded our expectations (courteous, professional, very knowledgeable including history, know their way around, good & clean air-conditioned vehicles, enjoyable to travel with, accommodating, reasonably priced & felt very safe with them). Without hesitation, we recommend this property and the service providers mentioned. We also intend on returning next year.

We were a group of 4 adults, all of whom have been to Jamaica multiple times. This was our first stay at Chukka Cove. First of all, the property grounds are beautiful! No where else will you be able to view the horses trotting by your villa twice a day.... a wonderful experience! The cove was breathtaking....although we found the water too rough to swim in, the views can not be beat. Trish was immediate in responding to my questions and the reservation process was very easy!! Paulette, the cook was wonderful. She worked with us in planning the menu and her dishes were all great!! We miss her already! Phillip, the security guard took us under his wing and went above and beyond his duties. We miss them both already!! We have nothing but great things to say and hope to be back very soon!! A side note... although there are only six villas, they are close together, so if you are looking for complete privacy it may be difficult. The grouping of villas would be IDEAL for larger groups or multiple families that want to vacation together but still have separate quarters. Although we lucked out and usually had the pool to ourselves, it would be difficult to have more than 6-8 people comfortably utilizing it because there are only six lounge chairs and a couple of chairs. These are not complaints, just a review to help see the pros and cons..... and the pros definitely outweigh cons!! We had a wonderful time and hated leaving!! We will be back!!! Thank you again for the Jamaican hospitality!!!
