Okay, I'm starting with the obvious, don't judge. Go and see the Hemingway house and see the cats with 6 toes. But, book a tour with a guide. If you just walk through you'll be like, "oh wow, a house...cool." But, if you do the door you will really enjoy the experience. Try to go during the week when it isn't as busy. Side note, if you haven't read "Old Man and the Sea" since high school, read it again. It's better after you have lived a bit. In fact, I'll leave a copy here for you.

Considering the wonderful weather and superb location, it is unsurprising that one of America’s most honored authors fell in love with Key West and called the island home for more than 10 years. Ernest Hemingway drew inspiration from the remote and beautiful island and bought a Spanish colonial-style home here that was originally built in 1851. Ernest and his wife Pauline extensively renovated the old home, restoring it to its original charm and adding the exceptional luxury (in those days) of a swimming pool and lovely gardens. Today, visitors can go on a guided tour of the home, which has been exceptionally well preserved as a museum and contains much of the original furniture and fittings.
