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. Piepie was available for any needs and made sure to get us wherever we needed to be. The communication with the host was seamless . I will definitely be back again !

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful Property but… BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN BOOKING!
When my wife and I looked this property over in 2021 we were thrilled to stay here! We booked instantly and couldn't wait to vacation back to my homeland of Jamaica. Well, we had several bumps in the road during my stay which caused me to give this property a 3-star rating and give my absolute honest opinion. I'll start with the highlights. The property is beautiful and looks exactly like the photos. Ms. P is AMAZING and her food is everything you would imagine it to be. She's the main reason my review is more stars than I would normally leave for the situations that occurred and the pools. However, Marc/Trish are NOT professional renter owners and I didn't appreciate how they handled what happened. I lost electricity (power) and water usage during my stay and a few other mishaps took place. Normally, any owner, sub-lessor or even a resort would accommodate their guests in such a way that is satisfying and pleasurable for the guest. Well, in this case, I was told that because I was "bitter" they preferred not to handle the situation professionally and rather ignore my requests as a guest. If you are not ready to handle 'rural Jamaica" as Trish mentioned in a prior message to me, keep looking for a better home with a back-up generator. especially for the amount of money you pay. There's no ice available on the property. Maybe for the 1st two nights but that's about it. The water dispenser dies at times.BRING BATTERIES just in case. The remote for the ONE tv is TRASH.

Rest, Relaxation, Serenity!
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!

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!!

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.

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.

Everything about this property screams dream vacation. The views from the porch and bedroom windows are spectacular. The property is meticulously maintained by the knowledgeable gardener, Martin, and his crew. We enjoyed the tour he took us on and his description of the local plants. Pauline was an excellent cook and had a great sense of humor. Philip made us feel safe and secure. We felt very spoiled from the minute we were picked up by Pipi at the airport until he returned us there safely. Absolutely recommend this property!

GREAT staff, & beautiful home, transportation not so much. Get your pockets ready.
The property itself was great. Pauline was amazing, and so was Phil. The only issue we had was location. It is located maybe a half hour drive from Ocho Rios. Because of this, you are required to get transportation every time you come and go from the villa. Now the villa has a transportation company that they use, and in the beginning, it was nice, no problems. The issue lies within the last full day on the villa. We had a pretty busy day full of activities planned. We contacted the transportation company, and requested a ride to Dolphin cove, to pick up tickets for Dunns Rivers Falls, that was pre purchased with a swimming with the dolphins excursion the previous day, and requested to be dropped off at Dunns rivers following picking up the tickets. The driver arrived at 11:10am, though we stated that we will like to be picked up at 11:30. Ok, no problem for me, but one of the individuals in my party was frustrated because she felt rushed due to this. When I inquired about the early arrival, the driver stated that he had another party to get to another destination by 12 noon, and that they called after I contacted him. Now for this particular ride was quoted for $40, not a problem. We arrived at Dunns Rivers at 11:50a, and asked the driver to back at 1:00pm sharp, due to a scheduled reservation to ride ATVs at the Chukka villas. The driver agreed. Now when 1pm came around, my party were just standing there. No driver, I had to call several times, the driver stated he was sending someone else, and that they wanted us to walk down to the security gate by Dunns Rivers entrance, and look for a white tour bus with a certain license plate number. Remind you there is white tour buses everywhere. It was very frustrating because we shouldn’t had to walk around looking for this van, when we agreed that transportation was going to be waiting on us at 1 pm. Finally a driver showed up at 1:18pm, forcing us to rush when we got back to the villas to get ready for our ATV excursion. That evening, my party and I wanted to go out to eat food, to the nearest restaurant, we didn’t care if it was the local KFC, in which you past going to Dunns Rivers. Well when we contacted transportation, we were told that we have to pay $120 just to go grab a bite and bring it back to the Villa. This was very frustrating, as we’ve paid $120 the day before to ride out to Ocho Rios to shop, and eat. I felt like the transportation company was trying to get over, and I don’t like that

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!!

Our group was 2 American couples over age 60 and the property was great. Pauline spoiled us with her sweet smile and her delicious meals she prepared for us. The grounds were kept pretty by Tony and Phillip made us feel safe and secure as he kept watch and helped us with so many little things. Water is beautiful, steps away. Don’t forget a snorkel set, we’ll worth the time right in front of the Villa. Highly recommend over an all inclusive crowded resort with the same old food each day. I hope to travel there again.

Lovely Time at Chukka!
Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. The property is beautiful and well maintained, the accommodations were comfortable, the process of setting everything up, including scheduling arrival, communicating with our host, checking in, pre-ordering food, and planning meals, was seamless. Ms. Paulette, the housekeeper/cook was amazing. She is incredibly nice and is an EXCELLENT cook. She was more than happy to adjust to our schedule and she even anticipated our needs. We were well taken care of and wanted for nothing. I would recommend Villa #2 at Chukka for any vacationers!
