Coconut Grove’s Marina is located just 8 miles far from Miami Int’l Airport www.miami-airport.com, (20 min. by taxi/ around 25,00 USD one way). We suggest you to take a taxi or if you prefer you can rent a car which is  cheaper but Parking in Miami is very expensive (Hotels normally charge 25,00 USD per night). Take care when you rent a car, because normally the insurance don’t cover all but only the car accident. We strongly suggest to take insurance for “Road Service” and for your personal accident if you don’t have your own travel insurance.

Authorization via ESTA does not determine whether a traveler is admissible to the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers determine admissibility upon travelers’ arrival. The ESTA application collects biographic information and answers to VWP eligibility questions. ESTA applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel, though it is recommended that travelers apply as soon as they begin preparing travel plans or prior to purchasing airline tickets.
