Getting to Hard Rock Stadium

Three ways from the house to the match. Pick what fits your party.

Drive yourself

~30 min south on I-95. Stadium has paid on-site parking; arrive 90+ min early on match days to clear security and parking queues.

Rideshare

Uber/Lyft surges 3–5× near match windows. Best for return trips after the match when surge cools.

Park-and-ride

Drive partway, park at a satellite lot, take a shuttle the last mile. Hard Rock publishes lot locations on match weeks.

Book direct. Skip the platform fees.

Same house, same five-star host, none of the Airbnb or VRBO markup.

No platform fee

Save the 6–17% service charge Airbnb and VRBO add at checkout. That's real money on a 7- or 16-night stay.

No cleaning-fee markup

You pay the actual cleaning cost — no platform inflation. Itemized, transparent.

Direct host contact

Text or call Jonathan directly. No platform messaging delays, no third-party gatekeeper.

Returning-guest discount

10% off on every direct stay after your first. Your tournament trip becomes the start of a habit.
