From $395 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sanibel Beach Club II 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.
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.
Sanibel Beach Club II sits on Sanibel, the barrier island where the whole idea of the place is what you do not see. There are no high-rises here — instead the island keeps its lighthouse, the mangroves of its wildlife refuge, and a shoreline better known for its shells than any other beach in the state. Arriving after a cruise, you trade the scale of the ship for something low, green, and quiet, with the water rarely out of view.
The location puts the island’s top-known corners within simple reach of your stay. The J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge, with its mangrove channels, and the Sanibel Lighthouse are both close by, and the beaches carry on down the chain — Bowman’s Beach and Blind Pass are neighboring in the Sanibel and Captiva stretch. It is the kind of address where a morning walk turns into a pocketful of shells and an afternoon drifts between refuge trails and open sand.
What you handle at the property itself — check-in timing, luggage holds, and the amenities that come with the room — lives on Sanibel Beach Club II’s official page, so you can confirm those details straight from the source. Our part is getting you here whole: delivered door to door to the island with your group and bags together, so the first thing you touch on Sanibel is the sand and the shade, not another line or transfer.
Book the ride before you dock and the hard part of the morning is already solved. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. As your group steps out onto Dodge Island, the bags go straight into the reserved vehicle at the curb and stay there for the whole journey — no shuffling between stops, no second pickup.
