Even though they are only an hour apart, if we spent a month at a time down there, we could Airbnb our house here between 250-300 a night and even more at certain times. The agent just messaged us a 2 year old home that may work out perfect.

If you want neighbors who actually welcome you to the neighborhood when you're ready to finally move in, you'll avoid renting your home out for short-term rentals via Airbnb or other "independent" rental method.
You could try the Villages' own Property Management company, which takes a fee for their service and you'd make less per night/week/month. But you'd also know that the place is being properly cared for by a company that has a VERY specific financial interest in ensuring the property is kept up and presentable inside and out, all the time - not just when the neighbor calls you to tell you the handyman you hired to mow the lawn never showed up or the current tenant has their three kids sleeping in tents on the front lawn.
