From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Club Vacations Sunset Cove Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Holiday Inn Club Vacations Sunset Cove Resort sits on Marco Island, the barrier island that rises out of the Ten Thousand Islands along Florida’s Gulf coast. It is a resort address built for stretching out a vacation rather than passing through, and its setting is the draw: a crescent of Gulf beach on one side and the quiet mangrove backwaters on the other. Those backwaters are alive with dolphins, so the water here feels less like a pool deck and more like the edge of a wild coastline.
The island itself pairs that natural side with a built-up resort side of towers and gathering spaces, and the property fits neatly into that mix. When you arrive, the entrance is where your driver hands off the group and the bags, so your first steps are into the lobby rather than a parking maze. From there the practical side of a stay is straightforward to sort out.
The hotel handles the guest-facing details directly, so plans that depend on timing are top confirmed with them. Amenities, luggage holds for arrivals ahead of check-in, and early check-in requests all sit on the property’s side of the arrangement and are covered through the Holiday Inn official channels. That split keeps things simple: the ride delivers you and your luggage to the door on Marco Island, and the resort takes over from the moment you walk in, leaving you free to settle into the beach, the backwaters, and the slower pace the island is known for.
The run from the Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Club Vacations Sunset Cove Resort covers roughly 135.1 miles and normally takes 134 to 142 minutes, following Southwest 8th Street and US-41 across the state toward the Gulf. It is a genuine road trip, which is exactly the kind of distance where having the whole vehicle to your group pays off: your own climate, room to spread out, and stops only when you ask for them. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, loaded at the curb and carried to the resort entrance at the far end.
Coming off the ship, the driver is staged for your terminal on Dodge Island before your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in, so the wait is theirs and not yours. Whatever the party size, the vehicle is reserved for you alone from the pier straight to the door on Marco Island.
