About Me

Luxury Family & Multigenerational Travel Expert

At Ohana Legacy Travel, our journey into the travel industry began with a simple belief: the most meaningful trips are the ones shared with the people you love. What started as a passion for planning unforgettable family vacations has grown into a full-service travel business dedicated to helping families travel with intention, ease, and connection. Through years of hands-on experience designing custom itineraries, we have become a trusted resource for families seeking more than just a vacation—they want experiences that become part of their family legacy.

We specialize in luxury family and multigenerational travel, with a deep love for destinations that offer both comfort and unforgettable experiences. Our expertise spans iconic theme park vacations, all-inclusive resorts, luxury cruises, and custom international travel. We focus on trips where every generation—from grandparents to young children—feels considered, ensuring that each family member enjoys a meaningful and memorable experience. We are particularly passionate about resorts and destinations that combine thoughtful design, exceptional service, and engaging activities that bring families together, because these are the trips remembered long after the suitcases are unpacked.

Some of our favorite vacations to plan include milestone celebrations, first-time family trips, and once-in-a-lifetime journeys where families can truly relax and reconnect. We love introducing our clients to destinations, resorts, and experiences they may not have discovered on their own, while curating every detail to align with each family’s travel style, pace, and priorities. Whether the goal is adventure, relaxation, or a balance of both, every itinerary we design is intentional, personalized, and carefully crafted for maximum enjoyment.

Working with us means more than simply booking a trip—it means having a trusted travel advisor, advocate, and strategist by your side. We bring destination expertise, insider knowledge, and established relationships with top resorts, cruise lines, and travel partners to every itinerary we create. Our clients benefit from personalized recommendations, exclusive perks when available, proactive planning, and support that saves time, reduces stress, and elevates the entire travel experience from start to finish.

Most importantly, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all travel. Every family is unique, and every vacation should reflect that. We take the time to understand your family’s goals, preferences, and needs so your trip feels seamless, effortless, and perfectly tailored. We handle the logistics, anticipate challenges, and manage every detail—so you can focus on being present, traveling confidently, and creating memories together that will last for generations.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Reviewed By Laken843 - Lake Wylie, SC | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
Ohana Legacy Travel took care of every single detail of our trip—even the things we could have handled ourselves, but didn’t have to. This incredible husband-and-wife, family-focused small business team went above and beyond to make our experience magical from start to finish. They pulled off what felt impossible: planning and booking a 10-day, 4-island Hawaiian work-meets-birthday dream vacation in just a few days—and not just booking it, but elevating it. They even secured us a dinner reservation at a restaurant normally booked out five months in advance, complete with a surprise birthday setup waiting for me at the table. And that wasn’t a one-time thing—there were birthday surprises waiting for me at every resort. That level of personalization is something you simply can’t get on your own. What I loved most was how thoughtfully they built our itinerary. They didn’t just book activities—they curated experiences. They included adventurous options, relaxing low-key ideas, and amazing restaurant recommendations so we could choose based on our mood. From night snorkeling with manta rays (surreal!) to breathtaking whale watching, every excursion booked was better than the last. We truly felt cared for like family. But what impressed us most was their level of customer service. When we ran into an issue at a luxury resort, Sean and Jess handled everything immediately behind the scenes so we could enjoy our vacation stress-free. They not only resolved it, but secured us a stunning two-room suite upgrade and a $200 food credit. That level of care and advocacy is rare. Ohana Legacy Travel is in a league of their own. From meticulous planning to lightning fast problem solving, they treat your trip like it’s their own. We were blown away. Thank you, Jess, Sean, and the entire Ohana Legacy Travel team for giving us a once-in-a-lifetime experience we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to book our next unforgettable trip with you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Grandpa G. - Greenville, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA

Amazing trip!
Reviewed By Disneyfan321 - Murrells inlet, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
????? 5-Star Review for Our Disney World Travel Agent ????? If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World, do yourself a favor and book with this incredible travel agent! From start to finish, she made our Disney vacation completely stress-free, organized, and even more magical than we imagined. Not only did she handle all of our Disney World resort reservations and park tickets, but she also secured our Disney dining reservations right when they opened — including some of the hardest-to-get restaurants! Having those dining reservations locked in ahead of time made such a huge difference for our family and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without worrying about last-minute planning. She also expertly guided us through booking Lightning Lane selections, helping us strategize the best rides and times so we could skip the long lines and maximize our park days. If you’ve ever planned a Disney trip on your own, you know how overwhelming Genie+ and Lightning Lanes can feel — but she made it simple and seamless. The best part? After we had already booked our Disney vacation package, she proactively monitored for promotions and was able to apply a new Disney discount that wasn’t available when we first reserved. She saved us money without us even having to ask! That level of service and attention to detail is exactly why we will never book a Disney trip without her again. If you’re searching for a Disney travel agent, Disney vacation planner, or someone who specializes in Walt Disney World vacations, I cannot recommend her enough. She truly knows Disney inside and out and made our dream vacation effortless and unforgettable. We’re already planning our next trip to Disney with her — and you should too! ???

From Disney resort and park ticket planning to dining reservations and Lightning Lane strategy, our goal as a Disney travel agent is to make every detail seamless. We’re especially glad we could apply a Disney promotion after booking to help you save. We can’t wait to plan your next Disney vacation! ??? "

Purely Magical Disney Trip!
Reviewed By Happy Grammy - Simpsonville, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Jess planned every detail of our multi-generational Walt Disney World trip flawlessly! She arranged all our park hoppers, dining, lightning passes and even recommended our mid-day rest activities. We had the best time seeing WDW through the eyes of our grandkids. We’ll never forget watching the fireworks from our resort balcony and getting special seating for the light parade. This was truly a Magical Disney trip of a lifetime. I would recommend Jess to anyone for their WDW trip planning!
