Dunedin · Where to Stay
A restored 1910 house turned nine-unit inn, footsteps from downtown Dunedin — heated pool with its own tiki bar.
for the wedding weekend
The Dunedin takeover: nine private-entrance suites and apartments put the wedding party one block from the rehearsal-dinner street.
Meranova is a fully renovated 1910 Dunedin house reborn as a nine-unit guest inn — five apartments and four suites, each with private entrance and bath, kitchens ranging from efficiency to full, and names (Caladesi, Key West, Zen) that telegraph the mood. An ADA cottage apartment with a wheel-in shower covers accessibility most historic inns can't.
The grounds do the charming: a heated pool with a tiki bar, a gazebo among tropical and orchid gardens, and loaner beach gear — umbrellas, chairs, towels, coolers — for Honeymoon Island runs. Downtown Dunedin's breweries and restaurants start footsteps away, which for a wedding party means the whole weekend works without a designated driver. Nine units, one booking call: this is the small-wedding block, solved.
