Swimming pools, lush greenery and a picture-perfect view of the beach make it an amazing place to relax. But this won’t be the first place the former First Family has called home. During Obama’s first term, a beachfront estate in Oahu was known as the Winter White House.

Because you could probably use a break from winter weather, take a peek at the Obama’s Hawaii homes.

Although the property is tucked away on a beach with plenty of privacy, it does have some ties to Hollywood. The area once included the home used in the 1980s Tom Selleck series “Magnum P.I.,” but the Obamas tore it down to make way for their new crib in 2018, according to TMZ.

President Obama came to the home to relax, but he also took care of business when he needed to. He signed the “James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act” here in January 2011, which provided health care to workers who suffered health issues due to clearing the debris after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.
