My advice for what it's worth is that unless you know the island very well already, know where you will be working and have funds for immediately buying a vehicle --- don't consider renting a place sight unseen.

February is considered the "height of season."
If you haven't yet made reservations for a place/hotel to stay while you're looking for a rental, you best do so. Ditto on a car rental or you might not get one. You'll definitely need one to get around and look at rental options.
You may have a difficult time finding a 6 month rental in Feb.
Most landlords who have long term rentals prefer a years lease or one that doesn't expire in the dead of off season
You can check Craig's List but beware of scam ads.

Best not to rent or send money sight unseen.
God luck.
