We had a wonderful stay! The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process easy. We especially appreciated that it was pet friendly and had plenty of space for our family to relax. The location was convenient, and everything was well maintained. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and stress free getaway.
The Bung was great! Great location and it had everything we needed. Beverly met us upon arrival and provided us a short to tour. Could not have asked for a better place to stay or for a better host. We will definitely be back for another stay.
Loved staying at The Bung. Very clean and cozy. Beverly, the host, was very nice and met us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour. We really liked the vintage items throughout the rental.
The Bung was everything we couldve asked for. Outdoor activities were a bonus and the coziness on the inside was perfect. The Bung was clean and close to everything. I will definitely stay here again, and recommend friends and family to stay here as well when traveling to the area.
She was an amazing host. Excellent communication leading up to my reservation and took care of everything she could for my rental of her property.

Todd is a great guest, we had excellent communication before, during and after his stay. I hope that I get the pleasure to host him next year when he returns for the Ironman Triathlon here in Lubbock!
This bungalow was perfect for a weekend in Lubbock. Beverly thought through everything possible detail in decorating and supplying a his place with a cozy beach / tropical vibe. Will definitely be returning!
Great property. The bed is super comfy and the bedroom dark and quiet- I never sleep as late as I did here. We cooked dinner and breakfast and had everything we needed! Outdoor set up couldn’t have been cuter. Beverly was available and nice to deal with. Highly recommend.
Host (Beverly) was very easy to work with and wanted to ensure we had what we needed. The home was very clean and comfortable, along with an amazing ac unit! Will definitely stay here again if we need a room in Lubbock.
The Bing was a great place in Lubbock. We stayed in a 1 bedroom house with access to a shared patio. It was perfect for our needs. The outdoor space was excellent and the TVs were all set up with our favorite apps.
Perfect weekend at the perfect property!! Beverly is so accommodating and has thought of every detail to make your stay relaxing & enjoyable!! We will definitely be back to one of her properties!!
The ambiance and the comfort that we experienced was exquisite! We plan on going back for New Years!

About the host
Hosted by Beverly Davis
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

Come relax, unwind, and get on Island Time! 🌴🦩
