About this property

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

PLUS: A outdoor paradise with firepit, grill & games!

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 ;)

The Bung sits behind the Copa, and is a very clean and spacious, 1 bedroom, 1 bath Bungalow with beautiful Saltillo tile floors. It is fully furnished with a retro and a coastal flair.

The Copa’s bedrooms are themed: "Good Vibrations" has a queen size bed filled with Pineapples and Palm Leaves. "Coconutz" has a king size bed filled with coconuts and Palm Trees. "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!

AMENITIES: Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels and hair dryer are all on hand for your use. Washer/Dryer, WiFi, Smart TV’s with Firesticks: Netflix, Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+ (local channels via antennae).

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!
