Private Quarters Club offers seconds homes at Amelia National

JUPITER, Fla. and FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. -- Imagine being able to own an exceptional second home with every desirable amenity in a private residence club, with the added privilege of automatic golf and country club membership. Imagine looking out on a beautiful golf course designed by golf legend Tom Fazio, enjoying endless days of challenging play, and having every possible concierge service—from dinner and spa reservations to concert tickets and a pre-stocked refrigerator—at your beck and call when you’re not playing golf or tennis, or diving into the pool. Through the innovations of Private Quarters Club, that opportunity is now a reality for mid-market consumers who thought that the luxury, prestige and exclusivity of the world-class private golf and country club lifestyle was forever out of their reach.

Private Quarters Club has introduced a first-of-its-kind lifestyle experience for these individuals—fractional ownership of beautifully appointed luxury second homes in some of the country’s most exclusive golf communities, including club membership. The company has just opened its newest property, Amelia National, along the Amelia National golf course in Fernandina Beach, FL, just outside Amelia Island, and only 30 minutes from Jacksonville.

Luxury at Every Turn, Starting with World-Class Golf

As with all Private Quarters Club properties, ownership of a luxury second home at Amelia National includes year-round golfing privileges; reciprocity with other Private Quarters Club communities and courses; fine dining; access to tennis, swimming, and a fitness club; Cloud Nine Concierge™ and maid service; and all the advantages of an extraordinarily appointed second home without the burdens of maintenance.

“Private Quarters Club properties like Amelia National offer a long-desired opportunity for avid golfers and their families to enjoy the world-class golf and country club lifestyle,” said Richard P. Bellinger, a Principal of Private Quarters Club. “Amelia National opens access to this extraordinary experience to a whole new type of clientele.”

Fractional Ownership Makes Luxury Affordable

Through a fractional ownership arrangement, Private Quarters Club has made the private country club lifestyle an affordable luxury. Fractional ownership of second homes in private residence clubs often costs $350,000 or more, in addition to $25,000 or more in annual dues. In contrast, to become members of Private Quarters Club’s newest Amelia National community, owners pay $75,000 for a deed to a luxurious three-bedroom 2,700-square-foot villa (in the case of Amelia National, a “showcase” home valued at approximately $750,000) or $50,000 for a two-bedroom, 1,700-square-foot villa—-giving them rights to three weeks of their dream lifestyle every year for the rest of their lives. Owners also pay a nominal $4,200 in annual dues for a three-bedroom home or $3,100 for a two-bedroom home, and can sell or transfer their deeds or leave them to heirs if they wish.

Challenging Golf and Privileged Lifestyle

Amelia National offers a challenging and satisfying golfing experience. The world-class golf course, designed by Tom Fazio, offers 18 masterfully designed holes for any level of play. The meticulously maintained course features fine-textured Bermuda grass and numerous waterholes, an expansive putting area and driving range, and an on-site pro shop. When they’re not golfing, members of the Private Quarters Club Amelia National community can also take full advantage of a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse (to be completed this summer); fine dining and lounge areas; a swimming pool and tennis courts; fitness center; and access to spa services and first-class shopping.

The elegant Private Quarters Club villas at Amelia National feature views of the fairways, master bedroom suites with Jacuzzis, luxury baths, plasma televisions, Viking appliances and the latest technological innovations, granite counters, a deck, and more.

“So much at the Amelia National property is special and one-of-a-kind—from the natural beauty of live oaks draped with Spanish moss to the nearby beaches to unique, upscale shops,” said Mr. Bellinger. “This is truly a place to get away to it all and still call home.”
