From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Oceanfront Contemporary Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Oceanfront Contemporary Suites sits right on the coast in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach where Collins Avenue runs its long line of resort towers and the sand starts just past the lobby doors. This is the oceanfront side of the barrier island, so the water is not a drive away — it is the view. The building faces the Atlantic, and the address here is defined more by the beach and the boulevard than by any single landmark.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. The Miami Beach Boardwalk traces the shore for the full length of Mid-Beach, a simple path north or south along the dunes without ever crossing traffic. A few blocks on, the Faena District threads an arts scene between the high-rises, its galleries and public works giving the resort row a cultural pulse it would otherwise lack. Indian Creek sits close by on the bay side, framing the district between ocean and water.
For a traveler coming off a cruise, the appeal is the simplicity of it. Collins Avenue keeps its restaurants, shops, and hotel frontage within a short walk, so an afternoon after the ship rarely needs a plan more elaborate than dropping the bags and heading for the sand. Anything about the stay itself — rooms, check-in, house policies — lives on the property’s own official page; our part is getting you and your luggage to its door in one clean run so the beach can be the first thing you do.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that starts the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you exit the hall and meets you curbside at your ship’s own terminal — not out in a parking lot — and every bag goes straight into the vehicle reserved for your party alone. There is no line to join and no luggage to drag across the port; you settle in and the ride begins.
From the pier it is a single run to the coast, about 9.9 miles along the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, ending right at the entrance of Oceanfront Contemporary Suites. Count on roughly 26 to 28 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic, which on this route is the only real variable. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
