The Hemingway house is a must-see in Key West! It was my favorite attraction on the entire island. You’re able to do a self tour through the entire house (with lots of written anecdotes posted as well as many authentic photos and furniture items) plus walk through the gardens, the pool area, and the guest house/writing room.nnThe gardens were especially beautiful. They’re very well manicured and the breeze is just amazing. We loved seeing the cats everywhere and even got to play with some of the younger kittens. The price is so reasonable since you can easily spend hours here! There are also bathrooms available and super cute things in the gift shop. Highly recommend!
This is a beautiful home! So if you like Florida history you will love this place. If you love cats you will absolutely love this place like my kids did! You're allowed to pet the cats at your own risk. They're all really mellow. You're not allowed to pick them up but that's okay most of them are pretty large they'd be a handful to pick up anyway. Definitely worth going!
Fantastic experience! 3 out the 4 of us knew nothing about Hemingway and still loved it. They do a great job of social distancing: only 10 per group. Our guide (I believe it was Daniel?) was awesome: he gave a lot of extra insights, not just the standard tour. When you keep the attention of two teenagers, you're doing something right. A must do!
Although all tours are currently self guided due to the pandemic, we found the Hemingway House to be a good spot for lovers of history, literature, and felines. For real: there are 59 cats on property and they are definitely a focal point of the experience. The house is air-conditioned making it a great escape from the island heat. The second-story wraparound porch has unparalleled views of the Key West Lighthouse. Please note, elements of the home’s exterior and interior require walking up and down stairs ♿ufe0f
This attraction is for everyone even if you are not a Hemingway fan. Easily one of the highlight of our trip. I would definitely recommend going on the guided tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Hemingway and his works that was so very interesting to hear.nThe house is well maintained and, after the tour, there were still a few more things to explore, read, and see. I personally liked the beautiful gardens with many orchids. For cat lovers, the main highlight is that there are 59 cats to see and pet - but do not pick them up! Overall, highly recommended.
