Of course you will need to find someone to look after the home inside, cut the grass etc.
No matter who does the rentals for you the only sure months to rent are Jan thru Apr. You should aim to have no more than 2 renters for these 4 months which you will probably find a year in advance. We once used the villages hometown to rent our home but like all agencies they are quite expensive and in my view not that good.
Try advertising on a site like villages4rent.com with some good photos and you should get good results. As a preference I would stay clear of the global sites like **** which may be fine for Disney type rentals but not for The Villages and they are perhaps 5 times the annual cost
As the owner you will be liable for sales tax on rental income but the returns are easy to make.
