Obama’s spokesperson, Kevin Lewis, denied reports that the former first family was looking to purchase a vacation home.
The Boston Globe reported earlier in the week that the "word around the island" was that the Obamas, who have vacationed on the island off the Massachusetts' coast multiple times, were looking for homes in the rural communities of Aquinnah, Chilmark and West Tisbury.
