I'm trying to book a rental through VRBO for the last week of March/first week of April.
It will be my 2 sons (10 & 14) and I. We've been to Seattle before and hit the major tourist attractions already. So I don't feel the need to book a rental downtown or near Seattle Center. I'm not opposed to it either, but would rather do things we didn't do last visit. Plus my older son requested more outdoorsy activities. But it can't be too outdoorsy because I'd rather not have the hassle of a car rental. We do fine on public transportation and don't mind a good deal of walking.
Would Alki beach be ok that time of year? Obviously no swimming. There's a rental a block away from Alki beach that I'm interested in. Do the water taxis run in the off season?
I've also looked into rentals on Bainbridge island, but had the same concerns as Alki. Plus a lack of car would probably be more of an issue there, right?
Any other suggestions? Basically I'm looking for an area that is close to water, trails, and public transportation. Good restaurants and supermarkets or drug stores within walking distance would be great.
