Generally places like REI and ACK will rent kayaks by the day. There are also a few decent angler models at the box stores.
This is the entry level kayak I always wind up recommending: http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/perception-pescador-angler-12-sit-on-kayak#repChildCatid=1352017. The pescador is a mold of a classic hull (the old Wilderness Tarpon 12) and is a good, multipurpose boat.
You can go cheaper, though. Heritage is a good brand with a cheap boat: http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/heritage-angler-10-sit-on-top-fishing-kayak#repChildCatid=1036408. This is not going to be as good as their more expensive hulls or hulls from other brands, but it's a step up from Pelican.
Avoid Pelican at all costs.
You could also go cheap inflatable as a way to get started. For example: https://smile.amazon.com/Sevylor-Quikpak-K1-1-Person-Kayak/dp/B00EVII3BK?_encoding=UTF8&keywords=inflatable%20kayak&qid=1493580108&ref_=sr_1_3&s=outdoor-recreation&sr=1-3. These won't track well, and probably won't last you as long as a proper kayak (which are nigh indestructible), but they'll get you on the water.
Gonna turn this into its own post.
