**Newly renovated, 3 bedrooms, stairs enclosure with private Plunge pool & Personal daily chef/housekeeping included**

~~ Absolutely NO smoking inside~~

Archer's Rock is now a three bedroom Ocean Front Villa with a private plunge pool. Its large patio expands in a tropical garden and conveniently located between the resort towns of Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay on Jamaica's North Coast, and tucked away at Chukka Cove, Archer's Rock provides unique access to a truly Jamaican experience.

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 Farm!

Archer's Rock is far from pretentious, 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 fully renovated and expanded space, upgraded furniture, modern kitchen and new appliances, it's nothing like the mega all inclusive hotels.

It sits in a lovely groomed area shared with only five other villas. Here in the country you may wake up to the sound of roosters, and listen to the crickets and frogs songs at night. Of course, like all farms, the property has its own resident cat and the friendly neighbour dogs occasionally come for a visit. The cat is not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms and can be cared for elsewhere if you are allergic. Just let us know.

So, 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 24 hours security on property to vacation without being locked in a compound!

Your private paradise has 3 new bedrooms each with its own private ensuites & an outdoor shower. Incredible ocean/garden views await for the perfect place to unwind.

The dining/sitting/TV room boasts large sliding glass doors that open onto an expansive furnished patio and your own private plunge pool that can be heated. A small office space allows for the 7th guest who sleeps on a single pull out sofa bed. The 4th bathroom/powder room has an outdoor shower that is privately covered with beautiful flowery scrubs.

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 leads in cool clear waters.

On property is a small sandy cove, perfect and safe for young children to swim and play. On days when the sea swells are up and you seek calmer waters, a two minute walk 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 snorkeling (bring your own gears) are the order of the day.
