From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Anchor Inn and Cottages in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Anchor Inn and Cottages is a relaxed, small-scale place to stay on the Gulf coast at Fort Myers Beach, the kind of address travelers pick when they desire the shoreline close and the pace unhurried. After a week of decks, dining rooms, and set schedules, arriving somewhere low-key and personal is a real change of gear. This is a spot built around the water rather than a crowd, and that shapes the whole feel of a stay.
What stands out on arrival is how near the shoreline sits. Plenty of guests here trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking straight out toward the Gulf while their bags are still settling in the room. The rhythm is simple: sun, a walk along the water, and the slow beach-town evening that follows. Beach walks and shelling fill the quiet hours, and the setting rewards travelers who came for the coast rather than the calendar.
Fort Myers Beach makes a natural landing point after a cruise, an unhurried Gulf-side base where the day belongs to you. Anchor Inn and Cottages fits that mood, giving your group a home to unpack into and a shoreline to savor without the fuss of a large resort. Once you have checked in and shaken off the sea legs, the rest of the trip opens up on your own terms, with the beach waiting just outside and the whole afternoon still ahead of you to spend as you like.
This is a straight door-to-door run from the cruise terminal at Port of Miami to Anchor Inn and Cottages. Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, and carries your luggage to the vehicle so you can walk off the ship and into a ride that is already yours. No sorting through a crowd, no waiting for a slot to fill.
Once your group is aboard, it is a private, direct drive across to the Gulf coast, normally about 170 to 181 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. The vehicle is yours alone, with room for luggage, so you set the departure and the pace. When you reach Fort Myers Beach, the driver brings you right to the entrance and helps with your bags at the curb, so the last steps of a long journey day are handled for you.
