In June, it was reported the Obamas would spend time in Martha's Vineyard during August. This isn't a surprise as they've been known to do this, but what would make this summer's stay different is that Michelle and Barack Obama would be staying at the residence of Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck on a different area of the island than where they usually stay. Well, the former president and his wife liked Grousbeck's property so much that they have bought it. When you see it, you'll understand why they would want to buy it.

It must be hard to decide whether to dine indoors or outdoors.

Is this the foyer?
It's SO big! It's like its own party room. It's the just begging to be filled with mingling guests.
Now, this is living!
The foyer leads into a very large living area big enough for multiple couches. Not only does the space feel large because it is, but the ceiling draws your eyes up and makes it feel even larger.
Take a look at it from this angle.
The windows and glass doors give you a great view of the outdoors. No need to hang any paintings when you have views like these.

Indoor patios are great. They give you the feeling of being outdoors without having to deal with bugs, too much wind, or getting too cold.
The master suite is to die for.
As you can see it's large and has a sitting area. It also has its own fireplace, but that's not all.
The master suite leads out to a private deck.
Now that Barack and Michelle have bought this place, they can enjoy a little private time out on this here deck. They could sip their morning coffee out here.
At night they might want to get in the hot tub.
Yes, the deck comes with its own hot tub! What couple can resist a romantic soak?
His and hers sinks in the bathroom.
Think of all the fights that would be avoided if no one had to share a bathroom sink? No waiting your turn, no getting annoyed with someone else's mess.
Did you notice that the his and her sinks aren't really side-by-side?
The are on opposite sides of the counter from each other, giving each person plenty of space. That's a nice little detail.
Get a load of this bathtub!
You can look outside while you bathe. It looks like a mini-spa. It should have a faucet that dispenses sparkling wine, don't you think?
The second bedroom still has plenty of space.
This particular bedroom seems rather luxurious. It's very spacious.
This bedroom is kid-friendly.
Malia and Sasha are too old for this room now, but they would have loved it as kids. The bunk bed setup is so cute.
This bed nook is EVERYTHING.
Don't you just love how the bed fits perfectly into the nook by the window? And the built-in cabinets are genius.
