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. What\`s included? \* Friendly and attentive staff provide housekeeping and meal preparation services. Staff arrives daily to keep SettleDown villa2 spotless and prepare authentic Jamaican dishes. Groceries and tips are extra, and at your cost. \* VIP arrangements for pre-stocked groceries with delivery services from L & M supermarket.

The surroundings were stunning, lots of birds and incredible plants. The sea was perfectly clear and the snorkelling was absolutely amazing. I just loved the views. The staff were incredible and really went out of their way to help. Anthony and Andrew were fantastic and between them took us to the bat cave which was magical, and other areas of interest, as well as to the nearby beach. Miss P was a fantastic cook and really helped us feel at home, nothing was too much trouble and she went out of her way to help us celebrate our daughters’ birthdays whilst we were out there. It’s the perfect base to explore the area and the most perfect place to relax. I can’t recommend it enough and would return in a heartbeat. ##### Michael S.

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! ##### Anthony B.

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. ##### Barbara B.

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.

She was very knowledgeable and hospitable. This will be my Home Away in Paradise whenever I visit Jamaica. ##### Larry B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine L., Wichita, Kansas 24 Jan 2019 #### 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. ##### Catherine L.

Ms Pauline was awesome with everything she accommodated us with. Her cooking was awesome we really appreciated her. As for groceries I think you guys set up she be arranged better. ##### Jessica W.

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!! ##### SENAYDA P.

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!! ##### nicole h.

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. ##### Marnie L.

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. ##### Irina Z.

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! ##### natasha w.

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!! ##### Timothy T. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick C. 20 May 2018 #### 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. ##### Patrick C. Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl E., PROVDENCE FRG 4 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Cheryl E. Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### William T. 19 Feb 2018 #### 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. ##### William T.
