Powel Crosley Estate
The Powel Crosley Estate is a Mediterranean Revival mansion built in 1929 on Sarasota Bay, owned by Manatee County and managed by the Bradenton Area visitors bureau.
Little Palm Island is a 5.5-acre private island off Little Torch Key in the Florida Keys, reached only by the resort's launch or by seaplane. Thatched-roof bungalows, a beachfront and a lagoon pool host weddings for up to 60 guests, from elopements to full island buyouts.
Little Palm Island sits just off Little Torch Key, about 28500 Overseas Highway on the mainland side, and can only be reached by boat or seaplane. That single fact shapes every wedding here. Guests board the resort's launch together, and once on the 5.5-acre island there are no cars, no crowds and no other events competing for the beach.
The resort rebuilt after Hurricane Irma destroyed it in September 2017. A reported $34 million reconstruction brought it back in March 2020, and the thatched-roof, British West Indies style bungalows once again line the shore. Ceremonies take place on the beachfront or beside the lagoon-style pool, and the resort's spa and on-island hair and make-up services keep the preparations in one place.
