kate, I have only been able to rent for a week at a time (I still work full time), but I always ask about internet access and if the house comes with a golf cart. I have driven both gas and electric golf carts, and I prefer electric, but since my rentals are short term, having a gas cart has not been an issue. If you are going to be renting longer term, you might want to ask about the activity level/quietness of the neighborhood. All of the neighborhoods I have rented in have been quiet, but I have not rented in high season. Good luck, and I hope you find a rental that meets your needs.
