Obama Family Vacations at Paradise Point Estates

[Life's A Resort]

Estates For Sale Beginning January 2009
KAILUA, Hawaii, Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- President-elect Barack Obama and his family conclude their vacation this week at Paradise Point Estates at Kailua Bay, companion luxury beachfront estates that become available for purchase this January.

Local legend describes the site -- recognized as one of the top 10 beaches in the world -- as a gathering place of ancient kings and birthplace of the Hawaiian people.

The Estates' developer, Oregon-based Mercury Development president David Zimel, greeted the Obama's upon their arrival and noted that "The Obama family was delighted with the accommodations. They immediately settled in to enjoy an evening barbeque on the lanai, adorned with lavish gardens, a lagoon-style pool and tiki torches flickering in the warm ocean breeze."

The "Plantation" and "Balinese" companion estates overlook spectacular views of Kailua Bay, Mokulua Islands and the Koolau mountain range. Located between an inland waterway and the Pacific Ocean, the 7,000 square foot estates, completed in 2006 and 2007, come fully appointed with custom finishes and furnishings from around the world. The secure, gated beachfront homes are situated along the secluded, silky white sands of Kailua beach, now recognized as the number one presidential vacation destination and one of the best beaches in the world.
