From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Island House South Beach Hotel 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.
Island House South Beach Hotel puts you in the middle of South Beach, the walkable grid where the classic Miami Beach postcard comes together in a few blocks. Step out the door and you are within reach of the sand at Lummus Park, the pastel facades of Ocean Drive, and the low-slung glamour of the Art Deco district. It is a neighborhood built for walking, and the hotel sits right in the thick of it.
The streets around your stay hold most of what draws people to the region. Española Way and its cafes are close by, Lincoln Road runs as a pedestrian mall lined with shops and open-air dining, and the New World Center adds a note of contemporary architecture to the mix. Everything is tight enough that once your bags are down, you can leave the car behind and cover the good parts on foot.
Coming straight off a cruise, the appeal is simple: the coast is right there. Drop your luggage at Island House South Beach Hotel and the water is a short walk away, which makes a beach afternoon the natural first move before you even think about checking in fully. For details on the hotel side of things — amenities, luggage holds, early check-in — the property keeps its own official page. What matters for the ride is that we deliver your group to the entrance with the bags carried to the curb, ready to start the South Beach part of the trip.
The trip from your cruise terminal to Island House South Beach Hotel covers about 5.9 miles and runs roughly 18 to 20 minutes, following SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway from the pier into South Beach. Traffic on those two roads is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is planned around your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. You are met at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, curbside, not out in a parking lot.
Your chauffeur handles the bags from the terminal to the vehicle, and the whole party rides together in one car reserved for your group alone. There is no shared seating and no waiting on outside availability. The luggage goes in with you, the driver takes the direct route across the causeway, and the group is dropped at the hotel entrance with the bags set down beside you. Fuel, typical tolls, and bag assist are already built into the flat rate.
