About this property

Welcome to The Freaky Tiki!

The Freaky Tiki is in one of the best areas of Lubbock. You are a short walk to Texas Tech, restaurants, and shopping. It is just minutes to the hospitals and entertainment, a 10-minute drive from the airport, and a short drive to Southwest Lubbock.

The Freaky Tiki is a completely rebuilt Spanish style home, along with a back house, in the historic Heart of Lubbock neighborhood. I redesigned both houses from bare bones to be amazingly comfortable and enjoyable with every amenity you expect. The brand-new HVAC systems will keep you cool or warm with the easy-to-use Nest thermostats, new plumbing, and Ring alarm system and outdoor camera will give you piece of mind during your stay.

The Beachcomber is a spacious, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath house.

The Hut sits behind The Beachcomber, and is a spacious, 1 bedroom, 1 bath house

All TVs are connected through the high-speed Wi-Fi and are Smart TV's, so that you can watch your favorite Netflix show, Hulu, ESPN+, Disney+, etc... local channels are also available.

The kitchens feature Talavera tile and butcher-block countertops, as well as brand new appliances. You will also find all the cooking utensils, pots, pans, blender, mixer, crockpot, cookie sheets, plates, bowls, cups, and flatware you need to cook a full meal. Plus, coffee bar setups!

The bedrooms feature high end mattresses that regularly receive compliments from my guests, plus cozy bedding, and room darkening curtains. Each bed has a nightstand with USB lamps to charge your devices easily. You will find hangers and storage space to put your items away and feel like you are at home.

Both living rooms have a sofa with a queen size pullout bed for extra guests.

The bathrooms have totally been renovated with beautiful tile showers, and are filled with soft, plush towels, and all the bathroom amenities you will need, including a hair dryer.

The backyard is a tropical paradise with a courtyard, firepit, and the Tiki Tavern for guests to relax in the open air and have a drink or two! There is a gas grill, multiple seating areas, and lounge chairs to soak up the sun. Cornhole boards, Darts, Horseshoes and Putting Green to enjoy…or have some friendly competition!

There is a washer and dryer as well as laundry detergent, along with an iron and ironing board for guests to use.

Designated parking is available in the driveway on the side of the house.

About the host

Hosted by Beverly Davis

Our Journey -
21 Raider Alley was born out of passion for student comfort. We are located on the 2400 block of 21st Street, less than half a mile from Texas Tech University, serving students from 50 states and more than 100 countries.
My name is Beverly Davis. I live in Lubbock, Texas with my husband, Tony, and daughter, Allison. As a mother, I saw the need for comfortable and inviting student accommodations. Every parent’s greatest joy is knowing that their child feels at home, even while away.
I have always had passion for kids, having worked as a Lifeguard, Summer Camp Counselor, and Pre-School Assistant. For almost 18 years and running, I have worked for the local ABC and CBS News Stations, just 3 miles from one of my greatest passions - 21 Raider Alley.
After seeing the need for student housing in 2004, I decided to invest in Texas Tech rental homes. This gave me an opportunity to work with kids while solving every parent’s problem: offering affordable, secure and comfortable accommodations for their children - all while building a great investment for my own daughter!
After buying my first rental on 21st Street, I quickly realized what a great block it was and continued purchasing homes on the block over the next several years. In 2017, I began my mission to provide a home away from home for people traveling to Lubbock for work, pleasure or to visit their children. I decided to turn a few of my homes into Vacation Rentals, and thus, The Bung, Copacabana, The Island, The Beachcomber, The Hut and The Freaky Tiki were born.

My guests enjoy great comforts in my Vacation Rentals, all just walking distance of Texas Tech University.
TTU Students, parents, and visiting travelers need not worry about commuting. Nor do they need to worry about our homes. We keep them sparkly clean, tidy and well-maintained. We focus on providing outstanding hospitality that helps us build long term trust amongst our guests. We can’t wait for you to see for yourself!
