Old Town homes inside the six blocks Hemingway walked: Duval, Whitehead, the lighthouse, the house with the cats.
The rule: the listing puts you in Old Town or names the landmarks. Not a ranking, and not every conch house in town.
Hemingway lived on Whitehead Street from 1931 to 1939 and wrote a good part of his best work in the studio over the carriage house. The neighborhood around it is still the neighborhood: gingerbread trim, porch swings, a lighthouse across the street, Duval two blocks over and loud.
Seven homes from two managers with their own booking sites. One names the Hemingway Home directly; the rest qualify on Old Town and Duval, which is the same six blocks. Each links to the manager; you book with them.

Preview from Last Key Realty's listingThe Hemingway Home and Museum on Whitehead Street is open daily; the cats are real and there are a lot of them.
Hemingway lived on Whitehead Street from 1931 to 1939 and wrote a good part of his best work in the studio over the carriage house. The neighborhood is still the neighborhood. Gingerbread trim, porch swings, the lighthouse across the street, Duval two blocks over and loud. You can walk all of it in an afternoon.
The club is homes inside those blocks. The rule: the listing puts you in Old Town or names the landmarks. Not a ranking, and not every conch house in town.
Last Key Realty and Rent Key West Vacations, both booking on their own sites, four homes and three.
Exactly one listing names the Hemingway Home. Last Key's Dreamsicle by Duval says Duval Street is a few steps away, as are the Ernest Hemingway House and the Key West Lighthouse. That is the first card and the reason the club exists.
The other six qualify on Old Town and Duval, which is the same six blocks by another name. One says perched above the sights and sounds of Duval, in the heart of Old Town. One says a quiet corner of Old Town within reach of Duval and Mallory Square. Rent Key West's three all measure themselves from Duval: two blocks, half a block, steps from upper Duval and the Southernmost Point. Nobody in Key West lists a house without saying how far it is from that street.
The Toasted Coconut is on the page because its listing says classic Key West architecture, gingerbread trim and a porch swing. That is the vocabulary of an Old Town conch house, and I read it as an address. Softest qualifier here. If you want the house in the listing, book Dreamsicle and stop reading.
What I could not do is put you in the house itself. It is a museum on Whitehead Street, open daily, with a lot of real cats, and the page links it as the place, not a stay.
A literary travel creator, or the Key West Literary Seminar. The people who fly in for him already exist there, and no page they run turns the six blocks into a booking.
Every link carries a tag. Check dates sends the guest's dates and party size to you and opens your page. Changes: hello@stayclubs.com, same day.
