About this villa rental
~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.

Really wonderful stay. Stayed here with my husband and 3 kids including a 7 months old baby. Ms. P was an amazing host and made sure we were well taken care of. She made really delicious meals that the family loved. The cove was a different beach experience that the kids really enjoyed.

We had a wonderful stay at the settle down villa! The villa was beautiful, clean and inviting. The view is absolutely stunning of both the ocean and mountains. Ms. P was an amazing cook and so welcoming.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
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.
