Driving from Miami International Airport (MIA)
Driving yourself from MIA is the most flexible option. The drive typically takes about 75 minutes, depending on traffic and exact starting point at the airport.
Rental-car counters are at MIA’s consolidated Rental Car Center (reachable by the free MIA Mover train). Expect tolls on the route; rental agencies often offer SunPass transponders or a toll-by-plate billing option.

| Route | Drive south on US‑1/Overseas Hwy toward Key Largo |
| Tolls | SunPass or Toll‑By‑Plate; check rental agreement |
Shuttles, shared transfers and public transport
Several private shuttle companies run door-to-door service from MIA to Key Largo; they can be cost-effective compared with long Uber/Lyft rides and avoid rental-car logistics.
For the lowest-cost public option, Greyhound and other bus services serve the Keys but have longer travel times and may not stop directly at the resort.
- Keys Shuttle and Florida Keys Express Shuttle — door-to-door shared or private transfers from MIA
- Greyhound bus — cheaper but slower and not a resort drop-off
- Uber/Lyft or taxi — convenient but can be expensive for the 60+ mile trip
| Provider type | Typical pros |
|---|---|
| Shared/private shuttle | Door-to-door service; pre-book; predictable pricing |
| Rideshare / taxi | On-demand pickup; higher cost for long distance |
| Bus (Greyhound) | Lowest cash fare but longer travel time and limited drop-off |
Flying into Ocean Reef Club (OCA) or Key West (EYW)
Ocean Reef Club Airport (OCA) is the closest airstrip by distance but mainly handles private aviation and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial service.
Key West International Airport (EYW) offers commercial service but is roughly 100 miles from Reefhouse; plan for a multi-hour drive if arriving there.
- OCA — close by but generally for private jets and charters
- EYW — commercial flights available; expect a long drive back up the Keys (plan driving time and fuel)
- If using OCA, arrange ground transport in advance — taxis and car services are limited
| Airport | Good for |
|---|---|
| Ocean Reef Club (OCA) | Private charters; shortest distance to property |
| Key West International (EYW) | Commercial travelers willing to drive a longer distance |

Practical packing and timing suggestions

- Plan for tolls and allow buffer time for traffic on US‑1
- Book transfers or rental cars in advance during peak travel dates
| When to go | Why |
