From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean Drive Villas in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Ocean Drive Villas sits in Hollywood, on the stretch of coast that lies about 22.7 miles by road from the Port of Miami. It is a beachside address rather than a downtown one, so the setting is the water itself: guests step off the cruise, drop their bags, and locate the ocean a short walk away. For a group closing out a sailing, that closeness to the sand is the whole appeal, and it shapes how the rest of the day unfolds once you reach.
The neighborhood around it is simple to read. A brick Broadwalk stretches for roughly two and a half miles beside the water, flat and free of cars, made for a slow afternoon on foot. A little inland sits a low-key downtown at Young Circle, where ArtsPark at Young Circle gives the area its green center. Between the beach and that park, most of what a traveler wants after a cruise is within reach without a second ride.
A bit farther out, Hollywood keeps a few landmarks worth the journey. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino stands inland, its guitar-shaped tower hard to miss on the skyline, and West Lake Park adds open water and green space on the other side of town. Anything about the stay itself belongs to Ocean Drive Villas and its own team; our part is getting your group there. Tell us the ship and the arrival date, and the villas become the simple end point of the morning.
The ride is door-to-door and yours alone. Your driver tracks your ship and is staged at the terminal before your group clears the exit, so the waiting is the driver’s and not yours. Bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and the car follows I-95 north toward Hollywood. Plan on roughly 44 to 60 minutes from the terminal to the door of Ocean Drive Villas, depending on traffic and the hour.
Coming off a cruise, the terminal exits fill rapidly on disembarkation mornings, which is why the car is positioned early and organized by message as you walk out. Every port pickup carries 60 minutes of courtesy wait, so a slow line off the ship does not cost you the car. Heading back for the ship works the same way in reverse: the chauffeur meets you at the entrance, loads the luggage, and plans the pickup around your sailing time.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
