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).

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!

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.

Best place in Lubbock to stay!

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.

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.
