What do Americans in the market for a vacation home want?

Appalachian mountain views and Florida sunshine, it turns out.

Vacation rental management website Vacasa has rolled out its second annual report highlighting the best U.S. destinations to invest in a vacation rental property. It analyzed home sales and rental data in vacation areas around the country. Vacasa also found that 65% of people in the market for a vacation home haven't decided where to buy.

The report, called the Top 25 Best Places to Buy a Vacation Home, provides shoppers with data such as median home cost and capitalization rate, which is the rate of potential return on a real estate investment.

"Buying a vacation rental property requires more consideration than simply where you'd enjoy owning a vacation home that you could visit a few times a year," said Shaun Greer, Vacasa's senior director of real estate.

"If you are seeking to maximize your investment, you'll need to familiarize yourself with markets that have a strong rate of return, consistently high occupancy rates and local regulations," Greer added in a statement.

Appalachia's Great Smoky Mountains are home to two of Vacasa's top 10 finishers, while Florida snagged three spots. The list also has surprise Western finalists in California and Montana.

Here's a look at the top 10, along with the median sale price and the cap rate for each.

Known as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky was settled by ranchers in the late 1890s and began attracting attention as a ski destination in the early 1970s, thanks to annual snowfall of about 400 inches.

Now a year-round destination offering everything from golf and fly fishing to snowshoeing and dogsledding, the town is split into three sections: Canyon, Meadow and Mountain Village, which is home to Big Sky Resort.

The town, whose population of 2,500 can double during the high season, lies in the shadow of 11,166-foot Lone Mountain, 47 miles north of Yellowstone and 55 miles south of Bozeman. Bozeman is connected nonstop to 17 major U.S. cities by seven airlines. For more, visit www.visitbigsky.com.

This Pacific coast community, an official California Historical Landmark about 3½ hours north of San Francisco by car, was founded as a military garrison after the Civil War and became a tourist magnet thanks to its spectacular ocean views.

Other draws in this town of some 7,530 inhabitants include the 7-mile Coastal Trail, the quirky Larry Spring Museum of Common Sense Physics and the 134-year-old scenic Skunk Train railway.

The southernmost incorporated place in the continental U.S., this quirky island city of 25,500 "Conchs," as locals call themselves, lies at the end of the 100-mile-long Florida Keys archipelago and has long attracted writers, artists and other bohemians.

Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote there in the 1930s, and his house remains a top tourist attraction. Thanks to Key West's longtime "live and let live" attitudes, the town has also been a popular LGBT destination for decades (it elected its first openly gay mayor in 1983.)

Cruise vacationers and full and part-time residents alike love the city's abundant sunshine, fishing and water sports, nightlife and — key for vacation home hunters — 19th century wooden architecture. Five airlines serve the island's international airport. For more, visit Fla-keys.com/key-west/ and www.keywestchamber.org.

You might describe Sevierville, Tennessee, and nearby Pigeon Forge as a one-woman tourism miracle, all thanks to native daughter Dolly Parton — singer, actress and entrepreneur.

This scenic corner of the state had been a popular destination since Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established in the 1930s, but things really started taking off in 1986 when Parton bought an interest in a local theme park and rebranded it Dollywood.

The resort and theme park is now Tennessee's biggest attraction, drawing almost 3 million annually. This visitor renaissance has resulted in a boom in new attractions and activities throughout the region, although the most enduring and enigmatic draw remains the haunting Great Smoky landscape.

The readers of the magazine who participated in the survey were offered 10 criteria by which they had to choose the most preferable islands for relaxing on the sea. Exotic Zanzibar, famous for its excellent beaches, took only the seventh position in the Top 20, and the Seychelles, despite the attractive scenery, fit in the ninth line.

Great vacation at a reasonable price

Turkey is recognized as the country with the most affordable prices and takes third place in the ranking. There is also a combination of seaside holidays and a huge number of attractions and interesting places. As we can see from this table, this combination is the most popular in our time.

For many, the optimal combination of price and quality of rest is important. Therefore, frugal tourists gave a high rating of to Buenos Aires, so that the "Paris of South America" ​​ranks 11th in the city rating for a reason, but for value for money.
