The Ernest Hemingway Home is famous for its six-toed cats, descendants of Hemingway's own polydactyl cat, Snow White.
The vibrant island life and the sea adventures in Key West greatly influenced Hemingway's stories and characters.
Hemingway's wife, Pauline, installed the first swimming pool in Key West, and it's rumored to have cost $20,000 in the 1930s!
Hemingway threw a penny into the wet cement of the pool patio, saying Pauline had spent his last cent on the pool.
The house has been featured in several films, including the James Bond movie 'License to Kill.'
Hemingway's writing studio remains preserved with his original typewriter and books, offering a glimpse into his creative world.
The Key West Lighthouse, directly across from the home, served as a guiding light for Hemingway's late-night returns from the sea.
Every year, the Hemingway Home hosts a contest where participants compete to see who best resembles the iconic author.
