Obama's old Hawaiian vacation home for sale

Forget Camp David or Martha's Vineyard: Barack Obama knew where to truly unwind. His former vacation home on Oahu, tucked away behind palm trees and a security gate, is now for sale. And yes, it comes with a price tag.

On the white sands of Kailua Beach, where the ocean breeze rustles and the sun seems to always shine, you'll find a tropical dream villa with a presidential touch. Former President Barack Obama spent many summers here, even signing the 9/11 First Responders Bill.

The fact that the house is now on the market for a modest $14.9 million (€13.7 million) doesn't make it any less special. The Balinese-Hawaiian-style property sits on a generous three-quarters of an acre lot with 33 meters of shoreline and views of the azure Kailua Bay and the Mokulua Islands.

The villa itself is equally impressive. Think: a lagoon-style pool with a waterfall, a hot tub nestled among tropical plants, a covered Hawaiian-style terrace, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Inside, you'll find five bedrooms, a designer kitchen, soaring ceilings, and a fitness room for those who want to maintain their presidential fitness.
