If you are planning to buy a lot of things down here, a car is a great idea. However, I got the impression that you're bringing almost everything with you. Once all of your stuff arrives, you will discover what else you need and you'll go nuts shopping. So, if you're not planning to do a lot of shopping this trip, a golf cart will do the trick. You might also consider just renting a car for one day to pick up things -- most of the stores will hold your purchases (or purchases-to-be) at least overnight.
Getting to Lowe's via golf cart is doable but a royal pain (literally). For Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, Sam's Club and several other stores, you need a car (even a street legal cart is not allowed at these destinations).
Regardless of how much you plan to work this trip, Teachmo and Gracie are 100% right, take time to have some fun. Do a night at the square, an hour or two at the pool, maybe even check out a club. All work when everyone else is playing is just no fun.
