The Island - Waves of Fun!

A tropical oasis in the Heart of Lbk: 2 houses on 1 lot - The Copacabana is the front house & The Bung is the back house, together you have the Island.

5 bedrooms+2 living rooms+2 kitchens+3 bathrooms

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

The Copacabana was built in 1937 and has been updated, but keeping the original beautiful hardwood floors, with the addition to the house having Saltillo tile. It is decorated with a Coastal flair, to let you imagine being at the beach while in Lubbock ;)

"Toes in the Sand" has a king size bed filled with sand from various beaches. "Turtle Cove" has a queen size bed filled with Sea Turtles. The Bung’s bedroom has a king size bed with a mood base, which allows you to raise the bed for reading or watching TV, and a twin size bed. All the bedroom closets are filled with hangers, a suitcase rack, and a soft fluffy robe for the ladies. Each room has a Smart TV with Firesticks: Netflix, Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+ (local channels via antennae).

The Copa’s living room has (2) deep seated sofas with queen mattress pull-outs for extra guests. The Bung’s living room has a soft leather couch, and a single cot in the bedroom closet.

Both kitchens are very spacious and are fully equipped, including coffee bars!

The back yard is perfect for enjoying life outdoors! There is a gas grill and fire pit, tables, multiple seating areas, and lounge chairs to soak up the sun. Cornhole boards, Darts and Horseshoes to enjoy…or have some friendly competition!

The property was absolutely amazing and incredibly accommodating. The outdoor space was perfect for our group. We especially enjoyed the gas fire pit multiple times during our stay. The beds were very comfortable, and we all slept great. With plenty of space between the two houses, it never felt crowded. You won’t be disappointed—we will definitely be staying here again!

Great guys weekend. The house was perfect for all of us.

This was our second time to stay in Beverly's wonderful home. I can't say enough good things about it and her. The space is perfect for a large group, decor is super cute, back yard is so fun, place is VERY clean and the beds are the most comfortable beds all of us have ever experiences in a VRBO. Beverly is the most gracious of hosts and communication is spot on. Could not recommend more highly. Thanks for another wonderful stay, Beverly! Hope to see you again next year! :-)

Beverly is an amazing host! We loved the house. The backyard fire pit and cornhole was perfect for our family get together. The kitchen was well stocked with almost everything you would need. The bathrooms have been redone and are very nice. The “Bung” adds another level of privacy for other guests. And of course the location right be Texas Tech is a big plus.

Such a cute place! You can tell that Beverly put so much thought, effort and love in decorating it and making sure her guests have all they need. Absolutely perfect for larger groups. The little bungalow in the back was great for us, since we had one couple with a dog. The backyard between the two structures was so enjoyable. We all had a ball, and Beverly was the best. Could not recommend more highly :-)

The Island on 21RaiderAlley will be our go-to place from here on out!Looking for a central location to have Christmas with family and found The Island and Bung. Not only is the house spacious with great decor/themes, but the outdoor area adds to the fun and provides additional space and activities for a wide range of ages and interests.The house has great amenities and is very well stocked with utensils and small appliances for meal preparation.The price is justified with the quality of bedding, linens, and provided personal care items.Beverly is a superstar owner! Communication is easy and fast. Everyone agreed we will absolutely stay at the Island and Bung the next time we get together in Lubbock.

Texas Tech Graduation

Perfect location for a weekend celebration for a Texas Tech graduate. The yard offered a fun place to relax and enjoy family without feeling crowed. All enjoyed the games provided and atmosphere. Communication with the owner was efficient and always prompt. Great customer service as well as adding special touches to feel very welcome. Would stay here again.

This home was perfect for us. We absolutely loved the back yard. I suggest you put anti-slip stickers in the showers. My dad(89 yrs old) almost fell in the shower and my 4yr old grandson did slip

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words about the home and for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the backyard! I sincerely appreciate your suggestion about adding anti-slip stickers in the showers — safety is very important to me, and I will definitely look into implementing that to help prevent any future incidents. I also want to mention that I’ve had many guests of all ages stay comfortably without issue, but I understand that certain situations, especially with younger and older family members, can require extra caution. Your feedback helps me improve the experience for everyone, and I truly appreciate it. Wishing you and your family all the best, and I’d be happy to host you again anytime!

Hunting trip

Great house, both of them! Beverly was there to meet us and give us the rundown. She set the unlock code to our choice which was nice. Great setup if you rent both houses with the fire pit between the two.

The Island Stay Sept 7-9 2024.

The property was perfect for our family visiting Lubbock for our grand daughter's wedding. We had a total of 14 guests staying at the property for two nights. Very cordial host gave us a warm welcome. She met us upon our arrival and provided a tour of the property and information for all the amenities. She also recommended places in the area which may be of interest. The property is very clean and with many amenities provided. We would definately book this property again for future gatherings in Lubbock.

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 over 20 years, 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!

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