Lawn: I like Chad's Lawn Service 352-430-5416. They do full service (cutting, trimming, weeding, pest control) but totally agree that hiring what your neighbors use (if their lawns look good) is the best way to go.
Pest control: Massey's or Dean's
Thermostat: You have one of the newer thermostats, which should have a built-in humidistat -- simply switch it to vacation mode and you'll be fine.
Golf cart: As was recommended, buy a used one first. It can become a nice second cart or used as a trade in or sold when you decide exactly what you want and what bells and whistles you want your cart to have. I like Jim Followell for used carts -- he stands behind his carts, is a Villager and has been around a long time with a great rep.
Sprinklers need to be changed frequently. For now, twice a week -- 35-45 mins per cycle for rotaries; 15-30 for regular sprinklers; 10 for soakers.
