Looking for a great place to put up guests in Dunedin?

We all know Dunedin is a great place to visit. And we love it when our friends and family come to town. We just don’t always want them to actually stay in our homes. But how do we get that across without sounding, you know, a little rude…?

Here’s an idea: strongly suggest they stay at the Mai Tai Suites. Owners John and Karen Bickford offer fully furnished 850 square foot 2-bed, 1-bath suites for less than the price of a hotel.

Mai Tai Suites is located off the Dunedin Causeway and is surrounded by St. Joseph's Sound. It’s convenient to Clearwater Beach and Downtown Dunedin. It’s also dog-friendly (with no pet fee) and offers a free guest pass to nearby Honeymoon Island State Park.

Invite all your friends and family to visit Dunedin — and tell them to book their rooms at Mai Tai Suites today.

Here are the top 3 stories in Dunedin today:

1. Are you looking for a local restaurant that will be open on Thanksgiving? Bon Appetit will offer both a four-course meal option as well as a buffet for $79.95 per person. In addition to the restaurant's usual seafood dishes, they've added a few traditional options to the menu, including ham, turkey, roasted duck, mashed sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Another option for Thanksgiving Day is HEW Parlor & Chophouse at the Fenway Hotel. For $75 per adult, they're offering a four-course meal with the option of prime ribs, roast turkey, and stuffed pork. Check out a full list of restaurants open on Thanksgiving Day at the link!

2. The famous "Blue House on Bayshore Boulevard" has been listed for $1.4 million. Known for its Tiffany blue exterior, the home features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. At 2,245 square feet, it's within walking distance of the Pinellas Trail and the Gulf of Mexico. The backyard looks like it belongs in a spa with a heated saltwater pool featuring a sun shelf, jet system, and ambient lighting. If you've ever been curious about what this house looks like inside, now's your chance to get a glimpse! (Dunedin Patch)
3. Ever wonder if love is blind? Now is your chance to find out! The popular Netflix dating show, Love is Blind, is looking for singles in Tampa who are interested in joining the cast. Those who are selected to be on the show date a handful of singles and decide whether they want to get engaged without ever seeing what the other person looks like. They get to know each other by speaking through the walls of their pods. Four couples who get engaged during the process are then followed as they take a journey toward the altar. Those interested can fill out a casting application online now! (98.7 The Shark)
