President Obama Set to Leave Oahu After Holiday Vacation in Kailua

Living in Kailua is wonderful.  It’s also a great place to vacation. Our white sand beaches and turquoise waters are appealing to most everyone who loves a smallish beach town, with friendly people and beautiful scenery.  Even the President of the United States loves Kailua. He comes here on vacation almost every year.

President Barack Obama has spent the last few weeks in Kailua, enjoying all it has to offer. During part of this trip, he was entertaining foreign dignitaries, as well. Tonight, he is reportedly dining at Buzz’s Steak House, which has completely closed off an area which is close to Kailua Beach and Lankikai, with the motorcade and security. While the President has been in Kailua, he’s reportedly made visits to most of his usual places, like Island Snow, Lanikai General Store, and of course, the golf courses and Marine Corps Base, for a workout.

My family and several friends had the unique pleasure of shaking President Obama’s hand and chatting with him a bit on the Mid-Pacific Golf Course in Lanikai, on New Year’s Day. This was a very special experience, especially for my husband, because each time my son and I had the opportnity to encounter Mr. President in the past (2009) and (2010), my husband was working, or deployed to Iraq in the USMC. 

This is what it looks like when the President of the United States is about to shake your hand:

Our friend, Tom, got some great footage. Here is a photo of my husband (in the Scottish cap) and son (in the green) with the President. That’s my phone right in front of the President. A REALTOR can’t go anywhere, even to meet the President, without her phone! (LOL)

No matter your politics, it is a pretty cool thing to shake the hand of the President. He was very nice and friendly to us. We enjoy his visits to Kailua!

Hawaii Luxury | Review of the Spa at the Disney Aulani Hotel

As I’ve written before in a Staycation blog post, one of the many perks of living on Oahu, one of the most prolific tourist destinations in the world, is the abundance of great luxury spas (and hotels) in Honolulu and beyond. And the really nice thing is that many of these luxury resorts offer special Kama’aina rates that make it a bit more affordable for Hawaii residents to stay there or at least visit, on a special occasion.

I was blessed, this year, with a Christmas gift of a spa day at the Disney Aulani Hotel, in Leeward Oahu.  In true Disney fashion, the spa at the Aulani reflects not only comfort and elegance, and many special treatments, including services for the entire family, but exceptional customer service.

Kailua Real Estate | Lanikai Beach Home Sold $1,650,000 FS

Right now, all great beach homes in Lanikai or elsewhere are in high demand. It used to be easier to find a home relatively near the beach for under $1.5M. Now it is rare to find anything within a block of the beach for under $1.8, unless it is on the other side (Mauka) of Kalaheo Avenue.  

My clients were overjoyed when we found this great Lanikai beach house listed at $1.5M. Because there was a lot of interest and multiple offers, the property sold for $1.65 in just the first few days on the market. Some of the things that make this home near Lanikai Beach awesome are its huge, over 14,000 sq ft, lot; the two giant monekypod trees that shade and beautify the yard, and the awesome gourmet kitchen.

This Kailua beach cottage was originally built in 1928, but has undergone several additions and even includes a separate cottage. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and over 2300 sq ft, exclusive of the cottage, there is plenty of room to spread out.

If you are looking in Lanikai for the perfect home, or anywhere in the beachfront Kailua neighborhood, please contact Home Shoppe Hawaii. We’d be happy to help!
