About this property

Archer's Rock-Luxurious Ocean front cottage at Chukka Cove w/Private Plunge Pool

**Archer's Rock, newly renovated 3 bedroom with stairs enclosure, Private Plunge Pool & Chef/housekeeper**. No smoking inside please!

~~We have partnered with a medical facility that will provide mobile services for the Covid-19 tests at your convenience to return home if required. The test is done at the Villa - everyone 2 years and over can be tested and are provided with a scanned QR barcode result~~

Archer's Rock is a beautiful luxurious three bedroom with its own private ensuites, large covered patio set in a tropical garden, now includes a private plunge pool; the front lawn was used in the filming of the 2016 Season 20 finale of the Bachelor with Ben Higgins while staying at Chukka Cove!

Conveniently located between the resort towns of Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay on Jamaica's North Coast, and tucked away at Chukka Cove Farm, Archer's Rock provides unique access to a truly Jamaican experience. The Perfect Tropical Escape!

Archer's Rock is far from pretentious and its staff, even more so. It is a warm and inviting 'real' home set on a farm and hidden amidst pastures and lush foliage on the edge of dramatic ocean front cliffs in a rural setting. With newly expanded, renovated space and upgraded furniture, modern appliances and kitchen to include a third bedroom/ensuite; it's nothing like the mega all inclusive resorts, sitting in a lovely groomed area shared with only five other villas. Here in the country, you may wake up to the sound of roosters, sometimes hear the neighbouring dogs barking, listen to the crickets and frogs songs at night. Of course, like all farms, the property has its own resident cat however, if you have allergies, they are not allowed upstairs and we will keep them away. The friendly neighbour's dogs occasionally come for a visit and you can also see the horses grazing in the morning.

Come immerse yourself in the real Jamaica and soak your cares away in the turquoise waters of the cove or in the private plunge pool used only by Archer's Rock guests. A safe place with security on grounds to vacation without being locked in a compound!

Your private paradise has 3 bedrooms each with its own full ensuites and AC on the upper level. Each with their own amazing ocean and or garden views.

Upgraded kitchen, laundry room and a sitting/dining room combo that boasts large sliding glass doors that open onto an expansive furnished newly renovated covered patio and private plunge pool perfect for lounging and cooling off. Bathroom # 4, an outdoor oasis shower concept that completes the lower 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, the steps take you to a small sandy cove, safe and perfect for young children to swim and play. We suggest wearing water shoes. On days when the sea swells 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 the order of the day.

Amazing!
Arthur's Rock did not disappoint! From the moment that I made the booking, Trish was in regular communication to ensure that I received all documentation. All of my questions were answered promptly and fully. Then we arrived at the villa. Ms. Carlene greeted us at the gate and from that point onwards made sure that we were comfortable. She is the perfect balance between attentiveness and privacy. The villa is absolutely beautiful, the grounds extremely well kept and the view and overall ambience 5 ⭐. I recommend Arthur's Rock at Chukka Cove to anyone who wants to completely relax, in beautiful surroundings and not worry about meals. Whether you are a couple, family or small group, this villa will not disappoint. Thank you again Ms. Carlene and Arthur's Rock for an unforgettable experience!

Have you ever had such an amazing trip that everybody was crying when it was time to leave because we didn’t want to leave Ms. Carleen. She is EVERYTHING! she made our stay beyond amazing. I sprang my ankle before coming on the trip and Ms Carleen did her magic. I was out jumping off cliffs at the blue whole. Me and my kids have already booked to go back in April. See you soon Ms Carleen and Andrew just amazing people.

Relaxing 25th anniversary vacation
The villa has an amazing location! The views from bedroom 1 and 2 are wonderful to wake up to each morning as you get a full ocean view from the large windows. The beds and pillows in all 3 bedrooms are so comfortable and there was plenty of closet and drawer space in each bedroom. Ms Carleen is a fabulous housekeeper and chef. She made delicious meals for us and accommodated our request for a low level of spiciness. Andrew was so friendly and made us feel very safe on the property. Tony and Martin kept the grounds looking great all week long. All of the staff are very hard working and friendly. The only con was that the internet connection isn't consistently strong, but I'm not sure there is anything that could be done in that matter. We were there to unplug and relax so maybe it was better that we couldn't check email sometimes. Overall I would highly recommend Villa 1 for privacy due to it's location on the grounds and for Ms. Carleen and her patient demeanor when trying to make everyone in the family happy at mealtime. We would definitely like to come back for another vacation and maybe bring some other families with us to stay in Villa 2 & 3.

Taste of paradise
We were a family group ranging from 6 to 78 and it worked for all of us. The house, the setting, the view, the food, everyone looking after us, we couldn’t ask for anything more. The villa and the grounds are even lovelier in real life. We had the grounds and the pool and the bay almost to ourselves for our whole stay. Jumping and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the bay was my highlight. We went out on a couple of trips out, but it was lovely to unwind and be looked after so well on site, we didn’t need to do too much. Mrs C is a true star, her food is incredible and we all tried new things and enjoyed every mouthful. The grounds team and security are all amazing too. We felt very safe in a beautiful setting. Sitting in front of villa 1 with the ocean as the back garden is something I’ll never forget. Thanks to you all for the holiday of a lifetime.

About the host

Hosted by Zander Melville

Host profile image
Originally from Ocho Rios, we are a family of three brothers who live, work & play in Jamaica. Marc, Daniel Jr & I love our beautiful Island, 'The land of wood and water'. Dad built the villa in 1985 as a family weekend getaway to relax, unwind and play our favourite sport, polo.
We have since purchased Archer's Rock aka Villa 1 from Dad, because we wanted our children and the rest of the world to experience a little piece of paradise. We work hard and we play hard!
We invite you to share our home away from home and enjoy the true Jamaican experience.

Why they chose this property

The amazing scenery, breathtaking views of the cliffs and the Caribbean sea, as well as access to all activities at Chukka where it's always Play Time. It's safe, quiet and serene.

What makes this property unique

The stunning view of the sea from the bedrooms and the covered patio offers an ambiance of tranquility and peace. The large landscaped grounds, and hidden coves provide the perfect getaway with picturesque sunrise and sunsets. The villa is fully staffed, sit back, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures!
