From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Matanzas Inn 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.
Offer 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.
Matanzas Inn sits on Estero Island, along the easygoing stretch of Fort Myers Beach on Florida’s Gulf coast. This is a barrier-island town built for slowing down, where the day tends to follow the tide rather than a schedule. When you arrive, the pace is unhurried and the water is never far — the kind of place travelers come to trade a packed itinerary for broad sand and salt air, and the inn keeps you close to that rhythm.
The setting is the real draw here. Fort Myers Beach is known for its long ribbon of soft, pale sand and the lively cluster around Times Square, where the pier reaches out over the Gulf. It is a walkable heart of the island, simple to reach on foot once you have settled in, and a natural spot to watch the water shift color as the afternoon runs long. Days here tend to drift between the beach, the pier, and a slow meal near the water.
Just beyond the inn, the island keeps giving you reasons to stay outside. Lovers Key State Park lies within simple reach for beach walks and quiet coastline, and Bowditch Point Park anchors the north end of Estero Island where the Gulf meets the back bay. Between the sand at Times Square, the pier, and the two parks, most of what makes Fort Myers Beach worth the trip sits close to where you are staying — so once the driver drops you at Matanzas Inn, the rest of the island is yours to discover at your own pace.
The ride from Miami International Airport to Matanzas Inn runs about 154.8 miles by road, and the driver keeps it to a single, unbroken trip. After you land, they track your flight, meet you once you clear the terminal, and help with the luggage before walking you to the vehicle — no rideshare pin to hunt down and no line to stand in.
From the airport the route heads out on I-75 and crosses the state toward the Gulf, so the whole drive is one peaceful stretch with your own group aboard. Plan on roughly 151 to 165 minutes door to door depending on traffic, quicker off-peak and slower at rush hour. Your bags ride in the vehicle with you, and because the pickup is timed to your actual landing, a delayed flight merely moves the whole schedule.
