We were in the same boat and bought a Patio Villa in Fernandina, all furniture and used Hometown Property Management. Rented if for a few months and they did a good job but it was expensive. By the way, they are not connected to The Villages. We stayed in it for 3 months then turned it over to a private person who manages properties. No renters so we were losing a ton of money. we made the hard choice to sell in Jan. 2014. Although it depends on personal finances we felt it wasn't worth trying to rent it out long distance.
We still think about moving permanently. We love it there.
Good luck to you.
