President Obama can look forward to two weeks of sunshine and golf on Martha’s Vineyard when he and his family travel to the Massachusetts island next month.
The first family rented the same $12 million estate in Chilmark they stayed in last year for the planned Aug. 8-23 sojourn, the Boston Herald reported.
Positioned on 10 acres of land on the small island, the 8,100-square-foot home houses seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The estate is enhanced by a dual basketball/tennis court and an infinity pool, though it offers no direct access to a beach.
Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha have reportedly contracted a manicurist to tend to their nails at the house three times each week.
President Obama’s 2014 Martha’s Vineyard vacation was interrupted several times as he broke from relaxation to address the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., and the Islamic State’s videotaped execution of American journalist James Foley.
Obama was criticized last year when he was photographed playing golf just after delivering a statement condemning the beheading of Foley at the hands of Islamic terrorists.
