From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Oceanside Hotel and Suites 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.
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.
Oceanside Hotel and Suites is a stay on the peaceful northern end of the barrier island, in the North Beach neighborhood about 10.9 miles by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. It is the kind of address you reach in one direct run after your ship clears customs, tucked into the quieter streets that sit away from the busier stretches to the south.
What draws people to this part of the island is the pace. The Surfside beachwalk runs close by, a simple path to follow along the sand, and the North Beach Bandshell sits within reach for open-air music and events. Collins Avenue threads through the neighborhood, so the shops, cafes and beach access that line it are near your door. Haulover Park is also close, a broad green stretch on the north side that opens onto the ocean.
The larger northern setting frames the stay well. Surfside and Bal Harbour anchor this stretch of coast, where the Bal Harbour Shops and broad, uncrowded sand set an unhurried tone that carries down into North Beach. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that means the arrival feels like a wind-down rather than a scramble. The chauffeur drops you at the hotel entrance, the streets around your stay are covered as part of the run, and the ocean, the beachwalk and the neighborhood are all a short step from where the car lets you out. Anything about the property itself lives on the hotel’s own page; getting you there is our part.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer. Coming off the ship, the vehicle is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with a courtesy wait built in to absorb customs and the luggage hall. The chauffeur meets you, loads every bag from the curb, and takes Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 north, so the roughly 10.9 miles to Oceanside Hotel and Suites is a single, direct leg. The run normally takes about 25 to 27 minutes, depending on traffic.
Your group rides alone in the vehicle from pickup to drop-off, and the luggage travels with you rather than in a separate load. Traffic on the causeway and I-195 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare instead of a slot cut to the minute. Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance, loads the bags, and takes the same direct route back to the terminal curb.
