Is it better to hire a property management company or list it ourselves and then hire services to clean and take care of lawn care for us? Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I think this is something you probably should've figured out for yourselves before buying a home.
You aren't going to find tenants willing to furnish the home themselves, for just one year, and then be expected to move everything back out again.
So you'll have to buy an entire house worth of furniture for your new home, before you even offer it for rent. July is just one week away.
I would recommend you contract with The Villages Hometown Property Management to handle oversight on your property until you're ready to move in. They're more expensive than others, but they are affiliated with the Developer and will do everything possible to ensure that your property complies with the rules, is rented by vetted tenants, cared for meticulously, and is in tip-top shape when you come down to take occupancy.
