Nassau County · Area Guide
Amelia National, Nassau County
A gated golf community with a Fazio-designed course, near Amelia Island and about 15–17 minutes from NSB Kings Bay.
Our take on Amelia National
This is a lifestyle and club-community purchase rather than a bargain search. We make sure initiation, dues and CDD charges are in the monthly math before you tour custom homes on the Fazio course.
What the data will not tell you
- The Kings Bay drive is short. NAS Jax and Mayport are a longer commute, so check drive times from the address.
- Club and golf costs sit on top of mortgage, HOA and any CDD. We build a full payment picture up front.
- Custom homes vary widely in quality and systems age even inside the same gate. Inspection scope matters more here than in production-builder communities.
- Resale sellers inside the gate may not be in a hurry, so negotiation can look different from tract-home markets.
- If you want Nassau County access without club costs, we compare Wildlight and other Yulee and Fernandina options side by side.

Housing Overview
Amelia National is a gated golf community with a mix of production and custom homes. Custom homes vary widely in design, quality and age of systems even inside the same gate, so inspection scope matters. Club initiation and dues, homeowner-association fees and any community development district charges all sit alongside the mortgage, and we put them in a full payment picture.
