From $285 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Jeff’s Backyard 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.
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.
Jeff’s Backyard Resort sits at the northern end of the county, in Jupiter, where the coast stays quiet and the water is never far. It is built around simple access to the shoreline, close enough that numerous guests reach the sand on foot or with a short drive. Arriving from out of town, you trade the busy pace of the city for a calmer stretch of Florida coast, with the inlet and the ocean forming the backdrop to your stay.
The area around the resort holds some of Jupiter’s best-known landmarks. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse marks the inlet a short way off, and Jupiter Beach gives you an open stretch of sand for the afternoon. Golf resorts share this corner of the county, and the Gardens Mall is within simple reach when you want shopping or a meal out. For a change of pace, Riverbend Park offers trails and water closer to the natural side of the region, a simple add to any day.
When you reach Jeff’s Backyard Resort, the water is close enough that plenty of travelers add a beach stop the same day they reach, before they have even unpacked. The resort’s spot in Jupiter puts you near the inlet, the lighthouse, and miles of coast, so the first afternoon can be as full or as slow as you like. It makes a natural base for a Jupiter journey, with the north county’s beaches, parks, and shopping all a short drive from the door.
The ride from MIA to Jeff’s Backyard Resort runs roughly 90 miles, mostly along Florida’s Turnpike, and takes about 102 to 114 minutes depending on traffic. Off-peak the Turnpike moves quickly, while the morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the longer end. Your driver takes the whole route in one go, with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for, so you can settle in for the journey north.
It is door to door from the moment you land. The driver tracks your flight, meets you after you clear the terminal, and helps with the bags, which ride in the vehicle with you the entire way. Because the pickup follows your actual arrival, an early or late flight changes nothing about the plan. You step out, the car is ready, and the next stop is the door of Jeff’s Backyard Resort.
