The Obamas have long escaped to Hawaii for their annual Christmas vacation - and this year was no exception.
In early December, former President Barack Obama was spotted playing golf in Hawaii while on his annual holiday vacation with his wife, Michelle.
During Obama's first term, the former president and his family typically returned each year to one vacation rental that became known as the "Winter White House." The Obamas spent the Christmas and New Year's holidays of 2008, 2009, and 2010 at a luxury vacation home known as Paradise Point Estates, the estate's manager, Glenn Weinberg, told Business Insider.
According to Weinberg, the Obamas inquired about staying each following year of his presidency, but Weinberg started using the home for his own family holidays starting in 2011.
Paradise Point Estates sits right on the beach and comes with a heated lagoon-style pool and pavilion with tropical waterfalls. Other high-profile guests have included Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, Bradley Cooper, and Angelina Jolie and her sons, Weinberg told Business Insider. (Their reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
But the five-bedroom home isn't just for presidents and celebrities. It's available for anyone to book starting at $4,500 per night with a seven-night minimum stay - not including tax or a $1,000 cleaning fee.
