Travel Advisor from Palm Harbor, Florida
Hello!
I’m Jen Grove
I was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio where I found my love of travel at a young age as my family embarked on unforgettable journeys to the enchanting Caribbean, picturesque Europe and everything in between. I quickly developed a passion for exploration that only became stronger into adulthood.
Now that I am a mom of three living in Palm Harbor, Florida, I realize how much travel can not only provide life lessons but also priceless memories that mean even more to me as I age. Raising a family is full of so many activities and obligations, but my husband and I make traveling a priority.
I love to expose our children to different cultures, climates and opportunities. While bouncing from fields to courts to gyms, I’m always looking for the next adventure and destination because the world of planning a vacation is my happy place!
With an age gap between our youngest and oldest, we have learned that we all enjoy each other on a trip. Each provides a special experience, filled with cherished moments and unforgettable adventures.
I have been on many Caribbean trips from all-inclusive resorts to a week-long chartered sail on a catamaran through the Virgin Islands. I thoroughly enjoy finding a great balance of excursions and relaxation that the Caribbean provides. Aruba and Grand Cayman are two of my very favorite spots as we immersed our souls in the pristine beaches, turquoise waters and welcoming culture. Grand Cayman boasts the breathtaking Seven Mile Beach and thrill of Stingray City. Aruba allows for soaking in the rays of sunshine, swimming in aquarium-like waters, and a kindness of the natives that will warm all hearts. We jeeped through Arikok National Park’s desert-like landscapes, admired ancient caves, and jumped from rocks in the Conchi Natural Pool which is a sight to behold.
These travel experiences, from the exploration of Aruba and the serenity of Grand Cayman, have allowed my family to bond, explore, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Each destination offered a unique adventure, and together, they provided a well-rounded and unforgettable journey. As we reflect on these trips, we are reminded of the value of travel in bringing families closer together and in creating moments that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

The Absolute Best Planner!!
Jen was a fantastic coordinator for our recent family cruise to Alaska. She was available each and every step of the way (and for the numerous questions and concerns) and was exceptionally helpful particularly with options for my mobility-challenged parent. We will definitely be working with Jen again in the future for other vacations and cannot wait!
Girls' Trip
Jen organized the most amazing girls’ trip. We had great food, spectacular excursions, photo shoots, personalized Corkcicle water bottles, and a VIP beach day including private cabana with rum tasting and a specialty lunch prepared just for us. We made so many special memories and this trip will go down in history as the “Best Girls’ Trip Ever.” Thanks Jen!
Absolutely Magical!
Jen Grove is an absolutely amazing Disney Planner. She was incredibly helpful and kind from the start of planning my trip all the way up until we were back home. I had close to zero knowledge of the Disney world- nothing about the parks, terminology, rides, resorts, etc and she walked me through each step. She is such a joy to work with and I know we will be using her again when we, inevitably, end up back at Disney 🙂 We had the best time and such a magical trip and I couldn’t thank her more!!
Perfect vacation
We recently went on a celebrity cruise. Jen did a wonderful job from “Picking” the perfect boat, itinerary and the room. She also obtained the travel insurance for us. Basically we just had to pack our bags. Periodically we would receive emails with important instructions from Jen regarding the cruise. Thank you Jen for once again giving us beautiful memories!
Jenn Grove is a magician
I recently took may 10yr old daughter for a daddy/daughter long weekend at Disney. I cannot imagine doing this without the invaluable guidance of Jenn Grove. From the planning through the execution Jenn made my daughter’s experience “The best day’s ever!” Jenn took all the guesswork out of our vacation and developed an itinerary that allowed my to put my focus on my daughter and not our schedule. All I can say is thank you Jenn for being a true professional and planning a weekend that my daughter will never forget!!
Walked us thru every step of planning a Disney vacation
I would like to thank Jen for her outstanding assistance in planning our family trip to Disney! Her attention to detail and her prompt responses to my questions was much appreciated. We stayed at a Disney resort that we probably wouldn’t have chosen if not for her recommendation and the resort was just perfect. She notified us when it was time to book dining reservations gave us tips on Genie plus gave us an explanation of that confusing lightning lane! Also advised us on stroller rentals transportation to and from the airport and an about 1 million other things. During this process, Jen was always extremely positive and friendly. Thanks to Jen‘s expertise we did not have a single bump in the road. Disney truly is magical and gave us so many good memories. Thank you Jen!!
Fantastic Trip!
Jen Grove planned our family trip to Disney World. It was amazing. We had so much fun. Could not have navigated it without her.
Perfect cruise on Royal Caribbean Allure of the seas
My husband and I took our 17 year old son and his best friend on a fabulous spring break cruise! Jenn took care of EVERYTHING! Such a stress free fun sail for all! We’re ready to plan our next trip!!!
Magic and then some!
Jen Grove was SO helpful and truly invaluable when it came to helping to plan our trip (and even help us a few times when we were at the parks)! Her recommendations were spot on for our family, and her detailed tips and suggestions had us feeling like pros almost from the start. She was so kind to get up at 6 am and book our meal reservations for us. When I had some feelings of overwhelm leading up to the trip, she planned phone chats to go over my questions. She was so willing to answer anything and everything, so patiently and thoroughly. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!! We would not have had the kind of trip we did without her. The Disney magic is always there, but it was even more magical going into the trip feeling prepared (which is the gift Jen gave). Thank you, thank you! The trip was unforgettable. We are already dreaming about our next Disney vacation 🙂 Added bonus was her feeling like a friend when I sent her photos and videos throughout the trip. She’s just great!
Happiest client on Earth!!!
It has been a dream of mine to go to Walt Disney World since I was little and I wanted to take my daughters when they were younger, but it just never happened for one reason or another. They are in their 20s now and the opportunity presented itself for the 3 of us to go to Disney for the first time. I called Jen Grove because I didn’t know how to begin planning this trip. She was absolutely amazing. She is so knowledgeable and did all the work for me. She made it possible for us to see all four parks in two days and make memories to last a lifetime., without the headache of trying to figure it out on my own. We fell in love with Disney and can’t wait to go back. I will be calling Jen again to help plan our next trip to the happiest place on Earth! She has a magical touch when it comes to helping you plan your dream vacation so don’t hesitate to call her! Thank you Jen!
