From $165 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean Villas of Deerfield in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Ocean Villas of Deerfield sits toward the northern end of Broward County, in the twin coastal towns of Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach. From the cruise terminal it lies about 43.8 miles up the coast, which trades the noise of the port for a calmer, water-facing pocket of the county. After a week at sea, that change of pace tends to land well — you step out of the vehicle into a residential beach setting rather than a downtown crush.
The stay puts you close to the two rebuilt piers that give this shoreline its character. The Deerfield Beach Pier and the Pompano Beach Fishing Pier both draw anglers and walkers through the day, and they anchor a strip of calm, family-welcoming sand. A little inland, Quiet Waters Park offers open green space, and the Pompano Beach Amphitheater hosts shows when the season calls for it — so an afternoon here can lean toward the water or away from it, as you favor.
What holds the region together is a fishing tradition this coast has held onto, wrapped around beaches built more for families than for crowds. Anything about the villas themselves — the rooms, the grounds, check-in times — belongs to the property; our job runs to the front entrance and no further. What we can promise is that you reach rested, with your bags handled, and the coast is right there whenever you desire it, ready to settle in on your own schedule rather than someone else’s.
Once you clear disembarkation, your chauffeur is already in position at the terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no line to join and no scramble for a ride. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and the group travels together with no other passengers along for the journey.
The route follows I-95 north for the 43.8-mile run to Ocean Villas of Deerfield, which commonly takes 67 to 82 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings back up rapidly at the exits, but the wait belongs to your driver, not to you — by the time you reach the curb the vehicle is staged and ready, and you are dropped at the entrance with your luggage carried to your side.

We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Ocean Villas of Deerfield. We were dropped at the entrance of Ocean Villas of Deerfield, not down the block. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
So glad we pre-booked — clean car, great driver, no scramble at the port, door to door. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
Waiting at the curb the moment I walked out, and an easy ride over to Ocean Villas of Deerfield.
