Miami Beach topped the list.

To determine this, Zillow used 2017 US census data to see the share of homes classified as a second home in cities with a population over 65,000. The percentage of vacation homes refers to the amount of vacation homes out of all total homes in the city.

The report says 13.23% of homes in Fort Myers are vacation homes, and 15.82% in Cape Coral.
