About this villa rental
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.

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 !

SettleDown was the PERFECT getaway for our family! We absolutely loved the property, the home, and the wonderful staff. Everything was just as described, if not better.

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.

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.

What a relaxing location... Off the beaten path and just what we needed :-)
3.0 / 5.0
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.

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!

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!!
5.0 / 5.0
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.

5.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
The property site was absolutely stunning. Just what the doctor ordered. We want to know about renting multiple villas at the same time and having our chef to oversee everything for us! She was absolutely endearing. AND we still miss her!!

Most Relaxing Vacation Location Ever!
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!!

Relaxing and beautiful
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!

Serenity
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.

The positives:The house is nice and kept clean. The location is wonderful (except for items mentioned in negatives). It is remote and quiet. Right on the ocean. The ocean is swimmable on calm days, but there isn't really any good snorkeling out front. The cove (a quick walk) is calm and has some decent snorkeling. A great place for beginners. And if you are adventurous, you can jump off the 15 foot platform into the sea.The small sandy beach could be nice for little ones, but it's not maintained, so you have to be careful as I found lots of broken glass washed up on shore.We loved the horses that come by every morning and early evening. At least 75 of them parade by as they come and go from the polo club.Miss Paulette is an amazing cook and did a great job with dinners. Better than any food we ate at restaurants. Phillip (the caretaker/security) was amazing as well.The negatives:There is construction next door and it will likely be going on for some time. It's loud and starts fairly early. Also, the villa next door (#3) often has teenagers (apparently the owner's kids) that hang out. Large groups of them drinking and playing loud music. It got better after we complained to our manager, but if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, this might not be a fit. I heard it's a frequent problem.Another issue is that we were without water for two afternoons and without electricity for one. We also weren't aware that the water at this house is not safe to drink (although in general, the water in Jamaica is safe to drink), so be prepared to purchase bottled water for your stay.There is a grocery within walking distance, so that is convenient and they will also deliver.

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.

Home Away in Paradise
I was immediately impressed with Villa 2 at Chukka Cove when I met the housekeeper for the property, Paulette. She was very knowledgeable and hospitable. This will be my Home Away in Paradise whenever I visit Jamaica.

A slice of heaven
Needing a place to unwind, and get some work done on my computer, I chose a stay at Villa 2, Chukka Cove. From the moment I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. With the beautiful sea in front of me, the staff including Paulette and Anthony, and a home-cooked meal waiting, I found paradise. You can do as much or as little as you want on and around the property. Paulette, an incredible cook, soon became like family. She had coffee ready for me in the morning, and then began to make my breakfast, which I ate on my outside dining table. The amount of staff interaction is completely up to you. Paulette and Anthony were there for anything I needed. They are both warm-hearted individuals who will do whatever it takes to make your stay enjoyable. Thank you Chukka Cove. You were exactly what I needed, and I'll be back!

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!!

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 :)

Beautiful
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!!!

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.

A Vacation In Paradise
We loved Chukka Cove Villas. It truly was a vacation in paradise. The views of the ocean, cliffs, horses, fruit trees, cannot be beat. The staff was very friendly and helpful arranging the activities for us. We rode the horses, took a ride into the mountains and visited Ocho Rios, took the party catamaran to snorkel and climb the Dunns River Falls. Also make sure to jump the cliffs to swim in the cove. So much fun! Our sweet housekeeper Paulette cooked authentic Jamaican food for us and took care of us every day. We highly recommend Chukka Cove Villas. One drawback, the neighborhood dogs barking may wake you up very early every morning. Hopefully they will get that under control. We hated to leave paradise to return home to the cold and new snowfall!

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!
4.0 / 5.0
Stunning location!!
While, staying at Chukka cove, I found the location perfect for wanting seaside views, ability to get around, and a unique experience. The villa offered very comfortable conveniences, and the charm of jamaican culture. I am sure an all inclusive could not offer this experience with such originality. I loved that if we wanted to have a meal prepared by Paulette (housekeeper) we could, or cook ourselves.
Only, complaint was swimming pool was not available for which If I owned the villa, I would credit the guest. I will be back!
