About this house rental
This is an original Pratt house built in 1866 by the famed architect Pratt for whom the Pratt Institute in New York was named. It is located in the historic district across from a large park in which baseball, golf practice, kite flying, bike riding, picnics and even, on at least one occasion, horseback riding was practiced. The house has a water view which includes and is across the street and only steps from the famous Inkwell Beach. On a clear day, as most are in this location, you can see from the large porch, the beaches and down the coast all the way to Edgartown. It is also just a short 3 block walk to town and its many shops, family concerts, restaurants, festivals, art galleries, antique shops, the carousel, the arcade, as well as to the Oak Bluffs ferry. It is a shorter walk to the basketball and tennis courts.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for two families with young adult children. Lots of room. The house is kind of funky ... but in a good way. It's rustic and charming. Great front porch. Don't expect modern luxury but it is roomy, nicely decorated and with a well-equipped kitchen, gas grill and long tables for indoor or outdoor dining. Perfect location with water views and short walk to town and even shorter walk to the beach (across the street). Responsive host. We make it to OB most years and this was our favorite place to stay. I'd recommend it to friends and hope to rent it again for our families.

The best part of this property is the location. It is steps to Inkwell Beach, next to the park, and an easy walk to town.

The home is perfectly located. morning coffee on the porch watching the wave crash on ink well beach. Evenings preparing meals in the well appointed kitchen or outdoor grill. Games for the kids. Location… Location… Location. The teens were able to walk to and from Circuit Ave and the basketball ball court with ease. Bedrooms comfortable (air conditioned )… beach chairs.. A great property=a fabulous vacation.

We had a lovely time spending the week at the Pratt House. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is very quaint and pleasant inside. The pictures make it look dark, but it's not. The house is in a great location, just a short walk to town and a very short walk to the Inkwell beach. The Polar Bears congregate in the water at the end of the street. (A must do, by the way!!) The Pratt House is an older home so be aware that it does not have air conditioning. But the house fans help and it does cool down at night. We spent a lot of time on the porch catching the breeze from the ocean and people watching. Greg was a great host. An all around lovely experience. Can't wait to make my way back to Martha's Vineyard next year.
