Amelia Island, FL

The revered Amelia Island Plantation was purchased out of bankruptcy last year by the group that owns Omni Hotels & Resorts.

This breathtaking oceanfront resort has over 1200 acres along 3.5 miles of the Atlantic coastline. With the acquisition, I think most of us in the area anticipated some changes, we just were not sure when Omni would start on the work.

If you have not have the opportunity to visit the Plantation, and the Ritz Carlton also on Amelia, the holidays are a fabulous time to do so, with holiday lights and decorations, the annual gingerbread creation in the Ritz Carlton lobby, and the annual Shop in Your Pajamas morning in downtown Fernandina Beach!

Amelia Islands- the "s" will make a BIG difference.

This is keyword research as well as selfless marketing g for a project that i have up coming in the very near future. I will be selling some oceanfront views (form the condos of course) in a nice area of the Amelia Islands. STOP why did I say Amelia Islands ? Because that is what over 200,000 people are looking for when they search for Amelia Island, hello I did not make this up, all I did was my keyword research and that revealed the stats that all major search engines reported for the trends of the search terms.

Be creative with the keywords and the use in the titles and do not stuff the keywords. The whole idea behind using keywords is finding out what people are searching for and give them the information in blogs and articles and photos and videos and if you correctly place your keywords with relevant content you will be the better for it.

Amelia Island Plantation to be Sold August 26, 2010

Amelia Island Plantation is due to be sold in bankruptcy court on August 26 according to an article in Jacksonville.com.

Atlanta-based Noble Properties is the original buyer, who had offered $45.9 million when Amelia Island Co. filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May. Ed Noble is the developer of Lenox Square and the Rodeway Inn on Lenox Rd. that is now a Sheraton Four Points. The company now runs 50 hotels in 13 states.

Two other bidders have entered and have outbid Noble, according to the attorney for Amelia Island Co. He also said that all three companies are committed to improving and growing the facilities at Amelia Island Plantation. He also said the other companies are "top-flight hotel and hospitality investors."

One of the developers of Amelia Island was Charles Fraser and the Sea Pines Company, who also developed Hilton Head. Fraser and his partners were years ahead of their time. In the 1970s, they painstakingly laid out a plan to protect tidal marshes, conserve ocean front dunes, savannahs and grasslands. With over 1,350 acres and three Audobon certified golf courses, 23 Har Tru tennis courts, a resort spa, restaurants, shopping, a conference center, and accommodations, Amelia Plantation is a very special resort.

This is something to keep an eye on if you live in the Jacksonville area, because Amelia Island Plantation is a landmark community in Northeast Florida. The Amelia Island company said it must have a decision before winter or it will have to close due to lack of funds.
