A Hidden Gem!

Having lived in the Clearwater area years ago, I was very familiar with the bungalows and cabanas down by the beach. Wanting to introduce my wife to Clearwater Beach, I did my research, saw the stellar reviews that the Enchanted Inn had, and decided to take a chance. I spoke to Ken, who was the friendliest person ever, and booked the only available room he had (it was a recent cancellation, so I was in luck). I wasn't expecting much, but when we arrived, my jaw dropped. Ken and his wonderful wife weren't kidding when they said that each unit was carefully renovated. We walked into what could have been mistaken for a luxury suite in Miami. Everything was beautifully decorated, with every modern amenity imaginable (lcd tv, new appliances, comfy king sized bed, etc.). Also, "clean" is an understatement. This place was spotless.
The views from our room were spectacular, and the building itself is about a 2 minute walk to the beach. Centrally located, near convenience stores, fine dining and plenty of shopping, we couldn't have asked for more! We only left 2 days ago and I've been a walking advertisement for the Enchanted Inn ever since. Our stay was relaxing, quiet, and most importantly fun. There was a cold front that had passed, so it wasn't ideal beach weather, but we definitely plan on coming back in the summer, to fully appreciate all Clearwater has to offer.
I can't recommend this place enough. The value alone is worth it, and the friendly atmosphere and attentiveness is worth twice that. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You won't want to leave!
