Candace Martin

I started my journey by advising family, friends, church groups, and military organizations as a hobby over 20 years ago. Last year, I used this passion to fuel my desire to start my own business! I take pride in my devotion to training and research in a variety of destinations and travel venues. I listen attentively and truly strive to make my clients’ desires and dreams a reality.

As the CEO and travel advisor at Citrus, Sea and Beyond, LLC, I’ve turned a lifelong love of travel into a career built on personal attention, trusted guidance, and exceptional experiences. My personal travel adventures have given me a deep appreciation for exploring cultures, cuisines, and connections around the world.

Why Travelers Choose Me

Clients choose to work with me because I take the stress out of planning and replace it with excitement and confidence. I believe your vacation should start the moment you begin dreaming it—not when you finally arrive. I handle the details, compare the options, and provide professional insight to ensure your trip is seamless from start to finish.

My services include personalized itinerary design, hotel and resort recommendations, cruise bookings, theme park vacations, honeymoons, group travel, and more. I work directly with trusted travel partners to provide exclusive offers, perks, and support before, during, and after your trip.

Destinations & Expertise

I’ve personally explored destinations across the globe including Japan, Bali (Indonesia), Phuket (Thailand), Shanghai Disney, Italy, and Paris, France, just to name a few. Each destination has inspired me to bring a deeper level of cultural understanding and authenticity to my clients’ travel plans.

I’ve also booked countless vacations for clients in popular destinations such as Las Vegas, Cancun, Cozumel, St. Maarten, and Caribbean cruises. Whether it’s a luxury getaway, family adventure, or romantic escape, I strive to tailor every trip to fit your style and budget.

My Process

When you contact me, I begin with a discovery conversation to learn more about your travel goals, interests, and budget. From there, I research, design, and present personalized recommendations that reflect your vision. Once you’re ready to book, I handle all the logistics—so you can focus on the fun parts! I stay in touch throughout your journey to ensure everything goes smoothly and am always just a message or call away if you need support.

Certifications & Training

I believe in lifelong learning and stay current with the latest trends and supplier updates through continuous education. I hold certifications and training with top travel brands and destinations, including (examples—customize as needed):

• Disney Destinations
• Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland, and Carnival Cruise Lines
• Luxury accommodations from Cunard and Seabourn Cruise Lines
• Sandals and Beaches Resorts
• Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and other destination programs

FAQ

Do you charge planning fees?
No! My services are completely free to clients. I’m compensated by the suppliers when you book through me.

Do you only plan family trips?
Not at all—I plan everything from honeymoons and cruises to group getaways, luxury escapes, and multi-generational adventures.

Can I reach you outside of business hours?
Yes! While my normal hours are Monday–Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM, I’m also available by appointment on Sundays and evenings to accommodate busy schedules.

Why book with you instead of online?
Because you get so much more than a transaction—you get expertise, personal attention, and peace of mind. I know which suppliers are reliable, which resorts deliver on their promises, and how to avoid costly mistakes. Plus, I’m here to advocate for you if something unexpected arises before or during your trip.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not at my desk, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and four children, exploring Disney World, relaxing by the beach, or trying new food and drinks. Travel is part of who I am—it’s how I connect, recharge, and find joy. My goal is to help you do the same, one incredible journey at a time.
