I can't say enough positive things about The Beachcomber - and Beverly. I just wish we'd had a little more time to stay there! Lubbock was a quick roadtrip layover on our (me, daughter and granddaughter) way to Austin, but we'll definitely spend more time next time. Great neighborhood, great property - and great host! Absolutely whole-heartedly recommend The Beachcomber!

Highly recommend! Exceeded our expectations. Beverly was so very welcoming. We were in town for our daughter’s graduation from Texas Tech and Beverly put up red & black “congratulation's grad” signs and decorations and even brought our daughter some beautifully decorated cookies to celebrate with. The extra care was much appreciated, and our stay was wonderful. Book this place!

Wedding weekend

What a FUN house to stay in for a weeding weekend. The backyard was a great place to hang out and play games. House was very clean and cozy. Great location for us getting around Lubbock. We only booked for one night but I wish we had booked for 3 nights. Would stay here again.

We had a really lovely stay at the Beachcomber! The house was wonderful…very clean, thoughtfully stocked, and full of amenities that made it feel comfortable and easy to settle into right away. The decor is super cute and you can tell a lot of care has gone into creating a fun, welcoming space.The only downside was the backyard situation. Based on the listing, we expected it to be private, but it is actually a shared space. While the area itself is nicely set up, it was frequently in use by others during our stay, which took away from the sense of privacy and our ability to enjoy/use the backyard. It would be really helpful if the listing clearly stated that the backyard is shared and/or not a private space so future guests can plan accordingly.

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Beachcomber. The property was spotlessly clean, decorated island style, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a home away from home stay. We were visiting our son at Tech and he only asked for home cooked meals. This house had all the kitchen essentials for us to make his favorite meal. The outdoor tiki space out back was fun and festive with lawn games, tv, and fire pit. Beverly was friendly, communicative and genuinely invested in making our stay enjoyable. She responded quickly to questions. She also provided great recommendations to local restaurants. Check in and check out was easy.This house truly felt like home away from home and we look forward to returning. Thank you again Beverly for your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Beverly Davis

Host profile image
Aloha! 🌴 I’m Beverly Davis, and I live in Lubbock, Texas, with my husband, Tony. I’m a proud mom to our daughter, Allison, and a very blessed grandmother to two precious granddaughters!

After more than 20 years working at Lubbock’s local ABC and CBS television stations, I retired in 2025 to devote more time to my family and one of my greatest passions—21 Raider Alley!

My journey began in 2004 when I recognized the need for affordable, safe, and comfortable housing for Texas Tech students. As a mother, I understood how important it was for parents to know their children had a welcoming place to call home.

After purchasing my first rental on 21st Street, I fell in love with the neighborhood and continued adding homes over the years.

In 2017, I decided to share that same feeling of home with travelers visiting Lubbock for Texas Tech events, family, work, or a little getaway. That’s when The Copacabana and The Bung became vacation rentals, and The Island was born!

In 2021, I expanded my little tropical paradise with The Beachcomber, The Hut, and The Freaky Tiki.

I’ve always loved creating welcoming spaces, and my years in television gave me a creative side that I now pour into decorating, renovating, and adding special touches to each property.

Today, retirement means more time with my granddaughters, more time bringing new ideas to life at 21 Raider Alley, and more opportunities to welcome wonderful guests!

My goal has always been simple: provide a clean, comfortable, memorable place where guests feel right at home.

I hope you’ll come stay awhile, make wonderful memories, and enjoy a little Island Time in the heart of Lubbock! 🌴🦩

Why they chose this property

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE THE HEART OF LUBBOCK! ❤️

There’s something special about Lubbock’s historic Heart of Lubbock neighborhood, and I should know—I’ve been in love with this little corner of town since 2004!

What started with one rental home on 21st Street has grown into 11 homes on the same block! Over the years, I’ve watched this neighborhood grow and change, and I’ve loved being part of its story.

One of my favorite things about this area is its character. Beautiful historic bungalows, mature trees, friendly neighbors, and a laid-back atmosphere give it a charm you just don’t find in newer neighborhoods.

And the location? You really can’t beat it!

We’re just a short walk from Texas Tech University, with Jones AT&T Stadium, restaurants, shopping, and Broadway nightlife nearby. Covenant and UMC hospitals, downtown Lubbock, and the Depot District are just minutes away. Whether you’re here for a Red Raider game, graduation, visiting family, or exploring Lubbock, you’re right in the middle of it all!

I especially love that our guests can enjoy the excitement of everything Lubbock has to offer, then come home to a comfortable, welcoming neighborhood where life moves at a slightly slower pace.

After more than two decades on this block, I can truly say there’s nowhere else in Lubbock I’d rather have my little collection of homes.

Welcome to 21 Raider Alley—where West Texas hospitality meets a little Island Time! 🌴🦩

What makes this property unique

Who says you need an ocean to enjoy a tropical getaway? 🌴

Welcome to The Beachcomber, where Spanish-style charm meets coastal-Tiki fun in the historic Heart of Lubbock!

Thoughtfully renovated from the ground up, this charming 2-bedroom retreat features comfortable furnishings, beautiful Talavera tile, cozy bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa.

But the real magic happens outside! Step into our tropical backyard oasis, where The Tiki Tavern, gas firepit, putting green and outdoor games create the perfect setting for laughter, friendly competition and quality time together. The backyard is shared with The Hut, our neighboring guesthouse.

Whether you're visiting your favorite Red Raider, celebrating a Texas Tech victory or simply escaping the everyday routine, The Beachcomber offers something you won't find at an ordinary hotel — a place to relax, reconnect and make lasting memories.

You may be visiting Lubbock, but you'll be living on Tiki Time! 🍹🦩
