About This Rental
This charming cottage is set back from the street and shaded by gardens, mature palms, and gumbo limbo trees in a quiet, upscale, gated complex of six historic Old Key West vacation rentals. The spacious pea-gravel courtyard boasts tropical landscaping, coral and rock hardscaping, and stone walkways leading to the shared pool area. The central common area, with a pool, picnic tables, and gas grill, is shared by guests of this upscale 6-plex. There’s also a shared laundry area with commercial washers and dryers.
Toon Hall was aptly named by its owner, Jeff MacNelly (1947-2000), lauded as one of the most brilliant political cartoonists of all time. In 1977, MacNelly launched his comic strip Shoe, characterized by wit, wry humor, and cynicism. He became The Chicago Tribune’s syndicated editorial cartoonist. Newsweek Magazine described MacNelly’s style as “goofy gracefulness.” In his lifetime, MacNelly received three Pulitzers and two Reuben Awards, the highest honor of the National Cartoonists Society. MacNelly cherished the vibrant Key West arts scene as his wintertime retreat.
Sip Cafe Cubano on the private back deck as Caribbean breezes rustle the palm fronds, or relax poolside with a Margarita in hand. Jeff MacNelly, the celebrated political cartoonist, would surely be pleased to see guests enjoying his beloved island paradise. He would be poking fun at everyone, making witty remarks, and reminding guests to stay humble, embrace their goofy side, and not take life too seriously.
Prepare a home-cooked meal in the modern kitchen. Dine alfresco when nights are fragrant with jasmine and frangipani. Stroll to great seafood, fine dining, beaches, and iconic attractions like the KW Butterfly and Nature Museum, Southernmost Point, Higgs Beach, and West Martello Tower. Interested to learn more about the life and work of Jeff MacNelly? Pop into The Gallery on the Greene, the exclusive KW gallery representing MacNelly.
