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.

About the host
Hosted by Zander Melville
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.
