Features to include if building a home to also use as an STR?

I am thinking about building a house for our next primary residence, but I would also like to use it occasionally as an STR. I'm thinking about features to include for this purpose. So far, I'm thinking about extra closets with locks, maximum number of bedrooms feasible (aiming for four or five), fireplace and some kind of a nice outdoor deck or screen porch, possibly a hot tub. We generally host families or alumni friend groups for events related to sporting or the University. Any other ideas?
