TCI Blue is a property management company that began operations in Providenciales Turks and Caicos on September 15, 2015. It started as a vision to provide a unique property management experience for property owners of villa rentals, private vacation homes, condos, retail, or long-term rental properties where the clients would have a more hands-off approach. At the same time, TCI Blue manages all aspects of the overseeing and management of their investment.

Fee Structure & Agreement
Our fees remain very competitive in the Turks and Caicos island marketplace backed by a dynamic team.
Our fees are calculated in a simple A, B, C breakdown.
For long term rental properties, commercial or vacant vacation homes, it is a 1, 2, 3 step process.
The Agreement
It starts from a set monthly fee covering the preparation of accounts statements, bill payments, overseeing of the property, and owner communications. This management fee is calculated based on the number of bedrooms, facility, short term vacation rental or long term rental property, commercial, and so on.
The Booking
A percentage of the rack rental rate per booking secures the guest reservation from contract to payment and everything in between. The smaller percentage is based on wholesale bookings.
Creating the Fond Memories/Guest Cycle or the Experience
