Our budget is $150,000 including all furnishings.
For those who have bought a new patio villa and bought their own furnishings, what is the typical cost for a 2/2 villa for all furnishings, small appliances, linens etc? Is there a service company locally that can receive and set-up furnishings for new owners, if they can't return immediately for closing on the property?

If you buy from Southern Lifestyles, I have heard they will deliver and sit up your furniture. BUT it would be less expensive and just as much fun to furnish your home from one of the terrific resale shops here.
Are you in a hurry because you want to live in it, or rent it?
Many of us have " camped" in our bare homes with an air mattress and a card table and chairs and went about furnishing this second home in a few weeks...or months, or on each visit.... and found it kinda fun.
Either way, good luck and welcome.
There are many people who do all kinds of tasks for pay here from moving heavy furniture to unpacking. If you ask for specific things they will send you PMs.
