From $395 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Lighthouse Resort & Club 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.
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.
Lighthouse Resort & Club sits on Sanibel, one of the barrier islands off Florida’s Gulf coast that draw travelers for their quiet, low-key feel. This is not a strip of high-rises. Sanibel is known for its shelling beaches, its tree-lined lanes, and its resorts that stay close to the ground rather than towering over the shore. A stay here is meant for slowing down.
The island’s best-known draw is the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge, a protected stretch of mangrove and tidal flats where birds, fish, and other wildlife are easy to spot. Combined with the shelling that Sanibel and its neighbor Captiva are famous for, the setting rewards anyone who likes mornings on the sand and a natural landscape that has been kept intact. The pace is unhurried, and the scenery is the point.
Because the coast is so close, a stay at Lighthouse Resort & Club frequently puts you within easy reach of the water. You can unpack and head straight out toward the beach without a long trek. That closeness to the sand is part of what makes the island appealing for families and for travelers who want a base that feels tied to the shore rather than set back from it. Arriving after a long drive from the airport, you find a resort that leans into its island surroundings, where the barrier-island quiet takes over and the day settles into its own rhythm.
Your driver meets you inside the terminal area at Miami International Airport once you land, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle at the curb. From there it is a single door-to-door leg, mostly along I-75, with your bags loaded and the whole vehicle held for your party alone. Because we track your flight, an early or late arrival is handled without a new booking.
This is a longer haul, so the private vehicle matters more than it would on a short hop. You obtain room to stretch, your own climate control, and a driver who can plan a rest stop along the way if you want one. Traffic on I-75 is really the only variable, and the route runs straight through to the door at Lighthouse Resort & Club, with no strangers and no extra stops added to your trip.

Srvicio impecable, otro viaje sin problemas, por eso ya reservamos por anticipado.
We flew into Miami with the kids late at night, and having a driver waiting was a lifesaver. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — we just walked out and the car was there.
For an easy arrival, my partner and I booked this to get from MIA straight to Lighthouse Resort & Club. We were picked up right on time, no waiting around. They tracked the landing, so even though we landed late, the car was ready and waiting. Can’t recommend it enough.
We weren’t going to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private car from the airport to Lighthouse Resort & Club. Our flight came in late and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all.
First time flying into MIA solo, and having someone right there at arrivals took the stress out of it. They tracked the landing, so even though I landed late, the car was ready and waiting. The ride to Lighthouse Resort & Club was smooth and comfortable the whole way.
