Meranova Guest Inn

There is no reception onsite. You have to call the number indicated on the front door. The room and guest house were clean and as described but you feel the lack of interest in refurbishing. The windows are not sound-proof and therefore you hear everything if your room is street oriented. The Irish pub on the other side played live music until 3am and the (drunk) bar guests were talking lively until 4am. Quite good breakfast place just next to the guest house.

The Meranova Guest Inn is a great place to stay. It is located downtown within walking distance of all the local sights, restaurants, and an easy drive to Honeymoon Island. The grounds are well kept, pool clean and our room was perfect (Sea Star). We had a great 2 night stay. I gave 4 stars because across the road there are a few bars that play very loud music. The noise level drops after 10pm, but just know that during the day if you want quiet time, it's interrupted.

My husband and I spent an absolutely wonderful three day weekend at the Meranova Inn a few days ago. It was to celebrate his 80th birthday. We stayed in the KeyWest Room and found it met all our needs and more. The king size bed was superbly comfortable with ample pillows, we had a full kitchen with snacks and Keurig machine with coffee pods and tea and sugars and creamers all there, and the bathroom was spotless with toiletries and fluffy towels and two comfy cotton bathrobes at our disposal. Two TVs--one in the bedroom and one in the living room-- had good reception. The pool was right outside our door. The town is lovely, and has a designated bike trail right through the middle of town, so one could ride a bike safely out of traffic's way. Each room as its own unique character, so check out the website and see the rooms before you decide in which one you want to stay. We had breakfast right next door at the Wild Iris restaurant--so convenient. We also had dinner at AlFresco and found the meals and service very good. That, too, was within walking distance. We are Floridians, yet, this mini-getaway to Dunedin was a great way to celebrate, and we are pleased we did. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Meranova! Located in the heart of Dunedin, Meranova provided the perfect location for walking about town, shopping, dining and brewery hopping! We stayed in a unit with a small efficiency kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well appointed. We went to the beach one day and used the cooler, chairs, beach umbrella and towels, all provided by the inn and much appreciated since we flew in from out town. The pool was small but empty and heated, delightful! Initially, I was concerned that it would be noisy given its central location, but the noise level significantly drops after 10:00, even on Saturday. It was great!

I don't usually write reviews unless there's an exception to the norm. Meranova is that exception. My wife and I spotted this place years ago while walking around Dunedin on vacation. It looked the type of place we love to stay: small, centrally located, well cared for. I then delved further by checking out their website and of course reviews. We then tried to book during high times and couldn't seem to get in. Luckily last year we did and then we returned again this year. J.J. and his team do an outstanding job of managing this stellar guest inn. Every room - and there are only 9 - has its own character with thoughtful amenities for either long or short stays. The housekeeping staff keeps them up impeccably. The same can be said for the surrounding grounds, beautiful gardens, and a small pool tucked away in the interior. It feels like an oasis smack dab in the middle of town. While we rented a car we hardly needed it as everything is walkable with outstanding eateries, craft breweries, and cafes within easy reach. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Loved our Sea Star "room" which was actually a full size small apartment complete with kitchen, dining area and living room. Great location with easy parking in the lot behind the house. Everything impeccably clean and well-maintained. Ideal for a trip to Dunedin--you'd never have to move your car.

Large room with kitchen area, sitting area and king comfy bed. Great private porch too. Grounds are lovely. Right in down town, near shops, dining & waterfront. A great place to stay. Enjoy the sunset from the pier. Dinner at Bon Appetite with great views.

Meranova Guest Inn is a MUST stay if you are visiting the Dunedin/Clearwater area! My husband and I stayed here in August 2023 in the Key West room for our first wedding anniversary. I found Meranova on a tourism site that recommended this place for a BnB stay. The location is perfect - walking distance to shops and restaurants. We fell in love with the charm of the downtown and how friendly everyone was. The Key West room was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed. We stayed during the low season so it felt like at times we were the only guests on property. We had a pool view (loved the pool) and a private patio. The large kitchen was a plus as we had some meals there. We did lose power in the middle of one of the nights for a couple hours so it was a little toasty but just a tiny speed bump on a overall good trip. We will 100% stay here again when considering another trip to Dunedin!

Excellent bedding. Excellent location. Quiet premises. Well stocked kitchen with the exception of regular coffee maker. Definitely would stay there again. Rent bikes on day 1 and head to Publix for groceries. Make plans to dine at Cafe El Fresco (get the gumbo) and Stirling. Best choices by far. There are two breakfast cafes less than a minute away. Enjoy the market on Friday and Saturday mornings. The Pinellas Trail is perfect for riding to Honeymoon and Clearwater beaches. You won’t need a car at all.
