About Embun @ Kemensah
Embun @ Kemensah is a freehold villa enclave by Titijaya Land Berhad, set along Jalan Tiara Kemensah in Ampang, Selangor. The development comprises 51 four-storey courtyard villas and 52 two- and three-storey semi-detached villas, with built-up areas starting from 4,202 sq ft — each offering 4 bedrooms plus 2 extra rooms, 6 bathrooms, and porch space for up to 3 cars.
The enclave sits within a rainforest setting complete with cascading creeks and waterfalls, and residents have access to clubhouse facilities including wading and swimming pools, a reflective pond, floating yoga and sunbathing deck, gymnasium, BBQ pit, herb garden, reflexology path, club lounge, and a multi-purpose hall.
Embun is gated and guarded, with perimeter fencing, 24-hour patrolled security, and card-access entry, placing it minutes from Ampang and within easy reach of central Kuala Lumpur — a private, nature-close retreat without being far from the city.
Project Objectives
Given Embun's scale as a full villa — 4 bedrooms plus extra rooms across multiple floors — and its role hosting celebrations as well as short stays, Sleepy Bear's objective was to prepare units that:
Function as a full-villa experience for groups and multi-generational gatherings
Suit celebrations and events as well as everyday short stays
Meet the Sleepy Bear Stays SIGNATURE standard
Are ready for Airbnb and short stay operations
Remain easy to maintain across a larger, multi-floor property
Dedicated home cinema with a large projector screen, perfect for movie marathons, karaoke nights, sports screenings, and private events.
Sleepy Bear's Host Pack Solution
Embun's villa format called for a different Host Pack approach than a typical apartment unit — furnishing multiple bedrooms, living and dining areas, and outdoor spaces as a single cohesive guest experience rather than one compact layout. Each villa was furnished to the SIGNATURE tier of the Sleepy Bear Stays Collection, styled to suit large groups booking the property together for stays or celebrations, with the villa's own pool and clubhouse access factored into the overall guest experience.
With guests frequently booking the whole villa for gatherings, the Host Pack was designed around shared, communal spaces — living and dining areas built for groups — alongside private bedrooms for comfort across a longer guest list.
Modern games lounge featuring foosball, designer furnishings, and a comfortable space for guests to relax, connect, and unwind together.
Rental Strategy and Full-Service Management
Embun's villa format, pool access, and rainforest setting make it well suited to celebration bookings, family gatherings, and retreat-style stays that a standard apartment can't accommodate. Sleepy Bear Group's rental strategy for the development is built around this higher-value, group-booking demand, with pricing and listing positioning that reflects the exclusivity of a full-villa rental.
For owners who prefer a longer-term hold, Sleepy Bear also manages long-term tenancy arrangements, giving flexibility to shift between short-term celebration bookings and longer-term rental strategies as demand evolves.
Why Developers Choose Sleepy Bear
Titijaya worked with Sleepy Bear for its ability to position a landed villa development for a guest profile and booking pattern — celebrations, group stays, multi-generational gatherings — that differs materially from standard apartment short-stay demand.
Sleepy Bear's single-partner model covers furnishing, listing, and management under one accountable team, removing the coordination burden of managing separate vendors for a higher-value, lower-volume villa portfolio.
Embun demonstrates Sleepy Bear's ability to extend its Host Pack and rental strategy beyond standard apartment stock into landed, event-oriented properties with resort-style amenities — a distinct capability within its portfolio.
Spacious multi-bed family suite designed to comfortably accommodate large groups without compromising on style or comfort.

About EPIC Residence
EPIC Residence is a freehold residential development by AYER Holdings Berhad in Bukit Puchong, Puchong, Selangor, comprising approximately 300 units across a single 21-storey tower on 2.3 acres. Unit sizes range from 624 to 2,475 sq ft — notably larger on average than a typical short-stay development — making the property well suited to families and small groups seeking more space.
Facilities include an infinity pool, fully equipped gymnasium, landscaped garden, children's playground, and 24-hour security — an amenity mix oriented toward families and longer-staying guests rather than solely short business trips.
The development sits near Taylor's International School, Tesco, AEON Big, and IOI City Mall, with direct highway access via KESAS, SKVE, NSE, and LDP — practical for guests travelling by car and for families evaluating the area for relocation or extended stays.
Project Objectives
Given EPIC Residence's larger unit sizes and family-oriented facilities, Sleepy Bear's objective was to prepare units that:
Suit families and small groups needing more space than a typical short-stay unit
Feel comfortable for both short visits and extended, multi-week stays
Meet the Sleepy Bear Stays SIGNATURE standard
Are ready for Airbnb and short stay operations
Remain easy to maintain for long-term property management
Bright pastel-themed living area with kid-friendly décor, creating a welcoming space for guests of all ages.
Sleepy Bear's Host Pack Solution
EPIC Residence's larger unit sizes — up to 2,475 sq ft — gave Sleepy Bear's Host Pack more room to work with than a typical short-stay unit, allowing for distinct living, dining, and sleeping zones rather than a single compact layout. Each unit was furnished to the SIGNATURE tier of the Sleepy Bear Stays Collection, styled to suit families and small groups rather than solely solo or couple travellers.
The result is a furnishing approach tuned to longer, more comfortable stays, supporting the development's positioning for extended-stay and family bookings alongside standard short-term demand.
Playful café-inspired dining area designed for family meals, celebrations, and quality time together.
Rental Strategy and Full-Service Management
EPIC Residence's larger units and family-oriented facilities support a rental strategy weighted toward extended stays, relocating families, and group bookings, alongside standard short-term demand. Sleepy Bear Group's pricing and listing approach for the development reflects this broader guest profile rather than a single-traveller, transit-led model.
For owners who prefer a longer-term hold, Sleepy Bear also manages long-term tenancy arrangements, giving flexibility to shift strategies as the surrounding Puchong–Cyberjaya corridor develops.
Why Developers Choose Sleepy Bear
AYER Holdings worked with Sleepy Bear for its ability to position a family-scale development for a guest profile that's often overlooked — extended-stay and multi-generational groups — rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all short-stay format.
Sleepy Bear's single-partner model covers furnishing, listing, and management under one accountable team, removing the coordination burden of managing separate vendors across a completed development.
EPIC Residence demonstrates Sleepy Bear's ability to adapt its Host Pack and rental strategy to suburban, family-scale inventory — a distinct capability from the dense, transit-led developments in its portfolio.
Double-volume family suite featuring an indoor playground and slide that transforms every stay into an adventure.

About HighPark Suites
HighPark Suites is a freehold, GBI Gold-certified development by Gamuda Land in Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya. Spread across two towers on 4.86 acres, the development comprises 1,024 units completed in 2020, with unit sizes ranging from 452 to 840 sq ft, suited to guests travelling solo, as couples, or in small groups.
The property offers more than 30 facilities across its towers, including a 50-metre pool, aqua gym, jogging path, BBQ areas, and elevated sky courts, giving short stay guests a resort-style environment within a dense urban setting.
HighPark Suites sits directly within reach of the Kelana Jaya LRT line, placing guests minutes from Petaling Jaya's business districts and the wider Klang Valley rail network — a key convenience factor for business travellers and short-term guests without a car.
Project Objectives
Given HighPark Suites' urban, transit-connected profile and its scale of over 1,000 units, Sleepy Bear's objective was to prepare units that:
Present well to business travellers and short-stay guests arriving via LRT
Perform consistently across a large multi-unit portfolio
Meet the Sleepy Bear Stays SIGNATURE standard
Turn around quickly, given the volume of units at the development
Remain easy to maintain across dispersed, multi-tower units
Bold loft-inspired studio featuring vibrant accents, double-volume ceilings, and a stylish open-concept layout.
Sleepy Bear's Host Pack Solution
At HighPark Suites' scale, consistency matters as much as design. Each unit was furnished under Sleepy Bear's Host Pack, calibrated to the SIGNATURE tier of the Sleepy Bear Stays Collection, with a furnishing specification designed to be replicated reliably across dozens of units without compromising presentation quality.
Compact unit sizes (452–840 sq ft) called for space-efficient furniture selections and layouts that maximise functionality for guests without crowding the unit — a key consideration Sleepy Bear factored into the Host Pack for this development.
Minimalist lounge corner designed for quiet relaxation, reading, or unwinding after a day out.
Rental Strategy and Full-Service Management
HighPark Suites' LRT-adjacent location and business-district proximity make it well suited to short-stay demand from business travellers, relocating professionals, and weekend visitors to Petaling Jaya. Sleepy Bear Group's rental strategy for the development is built around this transit-led demand profile, with pricing and listing optimisation tuned to occupancy patterns typical of transit-connected urban stock.
For owners who prefer a longer-term hold, Sleepy Bear also manages long-term tenancy, allowing owners to shift between short and long-term strategies as demand at the development evolves.
Why Developers Choose Sleepy Bear
Sleepy Bear partners with property developers and investors across the Klang Valley to transform completed residential units into guest-ready, income-generating assets.
The partnership starts at handover, when Sleepy Bear prepares units for their intended rental strategy, and continues through day-to-day operations, including guest management, housekeeping coordination and maintenance.
This full-service approach, spanning renovation, rental strategy and ongoing management for both short-term and long-term rentals, is what sets Sleepy Bear apart from providers that only handle one part of the process. Developers get a single partner who prepares a unit and keeps it performing after handover.
Contemporary studio layout with soft blush accents, cozy lounge seating, and a bright open-plan design that maximises comfort and functionality.

About Maya Bay Residences
Maya Bay Residences is the first serviced apartment development within Gamuda Cove, a 1,530-acre township in Kuala Langat, Selangor developed by Gamuda Land. The development offers 972 units across one to three-bedroom layouts, including dual-key configurations and units with dedicated study spaces, with built-up sizes from 688 to 968 square feet.
Residents and guests have access to a 50-metre freshwater lagoon, a hideout bay, an aqua gymnasium, hammock gardens and smart home features for remote control of appliances.
Located near SplashMania Waterpark, Gamuda Cove’s leisure offering also includes Discovery Park, home to the Goosebumps Rope Course, and the Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands, a 1,111-acre nature reserve. The mix of family attractions and proximity to Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and KLIA has made the township an increasingly popular short stay destination for leisure travellers, families and business visitors.
Project Objectives
As demand for short stay accommodation around Gamuda Cove’s attractions grows, developers need more than well-built units. They need units ready to perform as guest-facing assets from day one.
The objective for Maya Bay Residences was to prepare selected units for the short stay market by delivering spaces that are:
Professionally presented for guests
Comfortable and functional for everyday stays
Consistent with the Sleepy Bear Stays CORE experience
Ready for Airbnb and short stay operations
Easy to maintain for long-term property management
Sleepy Bear’s Host Pack Solution
Sleepy Bear applied its Host Pack solution to furnish and style each unit with consistency and operational readiness in mind. Interiors were fitted out for guest comfort while keeping maintenance practical for owners managing units at scale.
Upon completion, the units were classified under the Sleepy Bear Stays CORE Collection, reflecting practical amenities, a comfortable guest experience and strong value for money.
Bright, designer-inspired living space with bold accents, smart entertainment setup, and a relaxing balcony.
Rental Strategy and Full-Service Management
Beyond interior setup, Sleepy Bear works with developers on the rental strategy behind each unit, positioning properties to perform well in the short stay market while keeping long-term options open.
At Maya Bay Residences, this means owners can choose between short stay operations through Airbnb-style rentals or long-term leasing, with Sleepy Bear managing either arrangement. This flexibility allows developers and individual owners to adapt as rental demand around Gamuda Cove’s attractions and Cyberjaya’s growing workforce changes over time.
Why Developers Choose Sleepy Bear
Sleepy Bear partners with property developers and investors across the Klang Valley to transform completed residential units into guest-ready, income-generating assets.
The partnership starts at handover, when Sleepy Bear prepares units for their intended rental strategy, and continues through day-to-day operations, including guest management, housekeeping coordination and maintenance.
