From $425 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Off the Charts Inn Island Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Give 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.
Off the Charts Inn Island Resort sits in St James City, a quiet island community on Florida’s Gulf coast reached by causeway and set apart from the pace of the mainland. This is southwest Florida at its calmest, where the day is measured by the tide and the light rather than by traffic. The resort is a place to settle in, unpack once, and let the water do the entertaining.
The setting is what draws people here. These are gentle shelling islands, threaded with bike paths and anchored by a nearby wildlife refuge, so mornings tend to start slowly and outdoors. You can walk, ride, or simply sit near the water and watch the birds work the shallows. It is the kind of stretch of coast where a beach towel and a good pair of shoes count as a full itinerary, and where the quiet is the point rather than a compromise.
When you arrive, the practical stuff is easy. Off the Charts Inn Island Resort is your base, and the specifics of rooms and on-site amenities live on the resort’s own official page, which is the right place for those questions. What we handle is the ride that gets you there: a single door-to-door leg from the airport curb straight to the resort, luggage loaded, with no transfers to arrange once you land. That way the vacation starts the moment you step off the plane, and the island can take it from there without any logistics hanging over the first afternoon.
The trip runs door to door from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to Off the Charts Inn Island Resort. Your driver tracks the flight, meets you after you exit the terminal, helps with the bags, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is no line to stand in and no car to hunt down. From the curb it is one continuous leg along I-75, luggage already loaded, with the whole car reserved for your group alone.
Plan on roughly 176 miles and about 177 to 188 minutes, depending on the hour. Off-peak the highway moves rapidly and the drive lands near the shorter end; morning and late-afternoon rush push it toward the longer side, which is exactly why the driver watches your arrival and re-times the pickup at no charge if the flight shifts. Tolls and fuel are already included, so nothing extra is tallied along the way.

La tarifa fue fija y acordada de antemano — sin taxímetro, sin sorpresas, que agradecimos después de viajar. Sin fila de taxis, sin esperar una app — salimos y el auto ya estaba ahí. Muy recomendable.
