When you said you visited and "absolutely loved it", we folks who read your post just giggled.
Almost everyone here 'absolutely loves it', so you'll fit right in!
1) Start with the "Nuts & Bolts forum on this website. Read all of it and then do searches on the topics about which you'd like more information.
2) Great idea to rent for a month. Rent through a reputable company like JD Manangement, at
thevillagesforrentbyowner.com
There will be lots of available places in July but the place you get will have zero problems, lots of extras and an immediate response to anything you need. Private rentals can be a real crapshoot.
3) Get ready for the best move you've ever made!
