Miami Airport to Miami Beach: How Long It Takes and How to Get Here

About 30 minutes, traffic allowing. That's the drive from Miami International Airport east to us at 7418 Harding Avenue, at the north end of Miami Beach. Early evening and the morning rush will add to it, so give yourself room if you have a dinner booked.

For the transfer itself we recommend a trusted car service or a rideshare from the terminal. There's no direct rail line onto the beach, so anything other than a car means changes with luggage, which is rarely worth it after a flight. If you'd prefer us to arrange a car rather than sorting it at arrivals, tell us your flight and we'll make that happen for you.

The other airport our guests use is Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International. It's the longer drive of the two, so weigh the fare difference against the extra time in the car before you book the cheaper flight.

Two practical things on arrival. Check-in is after 4:00 pm, and if you land earlier we'll make every effort to get you in sooner based on availability, so let us know your arrival time in advance. And if you land late, it doesn't matter: someone of the house is awake whenever you are. Bring a valid government-issued ID, which we scan at check-in.
