From $395 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Bluegreen Surfrider Beach Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
Bluegreen Surfrider Beach Club sits on Sanibel, one of the quiet barrier islands off Florida’s southwest coast that you reach by causeway. This is a peaceful, low-key stretch of the Gulf shore, and the water is only a short walk or drive from the property, so many travelers head down to the beach the same day they arrive. Sanibel and its neighbor Captiva are known above all for shelling, and the shoreline here is a large part of why people come.
Once you have settled in, the island’s best-known landmarks are close at hand. The J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge anchors this part of Sanibel, and the historic Sanibel Lighthouse is among the nearest points of interest. Miles of bike paths thread the island, making it easy to get around on two wheels rather than a car, and the flat, quiet lanes suit riders of every age. It is the kind of place where the pace slows down the moment you cross over the water.
Beyond the immediate region, Blind Pass and Captiva Village are within easy reach, so a stay here opens onto both Sanibel and Captiva without much driving. Between the refuge, the lighthouse, the shelling beaches, and the village, there is plenty to fill a few days close to your base. We handle only the ride out to Bluegreen Surfrider Beach Club; for details on the stay itself, the club keeps its own official page with the specifics you will want before you go.
The journey runs door to door from Miami International Airport out to Bluegreen Surfrider Beach Club, covering roughly 157 miles by way of I-75. Plan on about 158 to 169 minutes depending on traffic, with the lighter end off-peak and the longer end during rush hour. Your driver tracks the flight and meets you after you clear the terminal, helps with the bags, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is no scramble at the curb once you land.
From there it is one continuous ride across the state to the coast, with your group riding privately the whole way. Luggage goes in the vehicle with you, and the car is held for you alone rather than shared with other passengers. Because the pickup is timed to your actual arrival, a delayed flight simply moves the whole pickup rather than leaving you waiting or paying twice.
