Do you need to keep your WiFi available? Comcast has a "Florida" plan whereby you can shut it off once every 12 months and pay a fee of $8 per month. I don't think that there is a reconnection fee (as technically you haven't been disconnected) but you may want to check. Also, there may be a maximum of six months.

Since you'll probably have something electric running while you're away, probably best not to have that shut down.

Anything covered by your monthly VCDD bill - amenities, water, sewerage, garbage - I think you have to pay a monthly fee regardless - not heard that you can "disconnect" these.
