Aloha Jose, We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and found everything to your satisfaction except for lights. It would have been helpful to contact our property manager with this concern as all of the lightbulbs are functional but the light switches may not be intuitive. The house is somewhat eccentric as it is unique, being a redwood water tower that was repurposed by a ship builder. We deeply appreciate that you took the time to post a review and look forward to welcoming you for your next visit to Big Island. Mahalo!
