A few minor glitches where quickly solved by Marcea.We had hoped that access to the Fairmont Beach Club would be a highlight of our stay. The web doesn't show much about it; only the Fairmont Resort facilities, which is different from the Beach Club. When we checked it out, we were disappointed and never used it. We had hoped it included a swimming pool (the Fairmont pool), but it was simply a small beach, a few chairs and umbrellas, a bar and young men hanging out to sell water sport adventures. We chose instead to go further up to the beach in front of Ju Ju's where we rented beach chairs and umbrellas. ##### Art K. Stayed 9 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen R.

We had a great stay in the villa which is well equipped with all that you would need. Games for the children too were appreciated. Marcia very kindly let us check in early and check out later as we had an early evening flight. The location is great being close to the beach, restaurants and shops. We got a croissant every morning from the bakery which was walking distance. The only downside was the construction work going on next door which meant a peaceful relax by the pool was not possible. We did enjoy the Fairmont and did lots of exploring the island. ##### Charlotte D.

The decor is tasteful and very in keeping with the property. Having three double rooms each with a decent bathroom was a treat. The outdoor area is lovely and was used a lot. We have nothing but good things to say about the villa and our dealings with Cal and when in Barbados Marcia who was always helpful. Thank you for having us in your beautiful home. ##### Caren B.

The location close to Holetown is ideal; and the property is immaculately maintained as are the beautiful grounds of the secure complex it lies within. The patio is a sun trap for those days you just want to relax around the plunge pool to cool off and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals if you prefer not to venture out. Each room is en-suite, which meant no queuing for showers or toilets. Access to the easy walkable Fairmont Beach Hotel is a valued bonus. Our favourite Bajan restaurant is also within walking distance along the main road or our preference along the beautiful beach . ##### Donald R.

The house had everything you could possibly need while on holiday. Marcia the property manager was lovely and very helpful. Natalie, the housekeeper came in to change sheets and towels. The house is a 5 minute walk to the beach at the Fairmount Royal Pavillion hotel, beach club cards are provided so you have use of sun beds and a discount off your rum sour. I highly recommend Tickety Blue if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Barbados. ##### Helen T. Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonal Natasha P.

We have a lovely stay at Cal's property - it had everything we needed, rooms are fantastic all with en-suites.Location, is great - bus stops are just outside. Fairmont is a 8 min walk away, and is perfect for the whole day, walk along the beach to Juju's great Fish Cutters! We explored using buses - Speightstown which we loved. Just a note, Massy's is quite expensive so we did venture on the bus to Jordans, where you can find all the groceries for a much better price. Overall, the location, property was perfect, just what we needed for 11 nights in Barbados. It was super safe, everyone is very friendly and Marcia was great! She was super lovely and really great at communicating with us. We also loved the outdoor area, and plunge pool!! Kitchen had all the amenities, so you'll be fine! Washing machine was also a huge plus! Thank you so much for letting us stay! We have a fabulous time! xx ##### Sonal Natasha P.

We loved our stay in Tickety Blue, with the hosts doing everything they could to make the stay run smoothly. The house is just as described - great sized rooms all with effective air conditioning, a great downstairs with a good sized indoor dining table and lounge, and a lovely outside with a small pool and seating areas. The small estate that the house is on is great, with a bigger pool, tennis court (although a little too hot to play!) and table tennis. The real jewel in the crown was the access to the Fairmont's Beach Club, a short walk away (although across one quite busy road). This gave access to sun-loungers and umbrella's on a fantastic beach. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely try to get back here as soon as we can! ##### Oliver Newton Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joell S.

While we where there they were doing construction around development but it did not cause any type of inconveniences for us. Home is a few miles from Holetown and walkable. Buses are very easy and cheap to ride. The only inconvenience we experienced is the hot water in the morning was good for about 1 shower and there were 6 of us. We failed to mention until a day before leaving which was our mistake. Seems there was a hot water booster in a room off the kitchen we could have pushed for more hot water. Instead we just took shifts for showering lol Very happy with the VRBO. Also Cal was very helpful with all my questions before and during our stay. ##### Joell S.

The villa was immaculately clean, and well situated in a gated community. The plunge pool was used multiple times daily to cool off from the hot sun, and was just the right size. The use of the Fairmont Beach Club was a huge bonus, as we were just a 8-10 minute walk away. This villa is a short walk to many great restaurants such as JuJu’s, Seacat, Lonestar, and Juma's. The property manager Marcia was a pleasure to work with and was always available to help us out and answer any questions that we had. We look forward to returning during our next trip to Barbados! ##### Andrew P. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian T.

Can’t speak highly enough about the owners and property manager, nothing is too much trouble for them. We have stayed in Barbados many times but have to say this was our favourite. It is a short walk to the most perfect beach and the French bakery is amazing! The villa itself is exceptionally clean, well maintained and well equipped, but it’s the little touches that made it special. Will most definitely book this villa again. Thank you to Cal, Robin & Marcia. ##### Ian T.
