About the Cholla House Owner: Mark Foy

Mark’s love for vacation rentals began in 2000, during his first stay in a charming home in Sintra, Portugal.

Mark has been hosting short-term rentals for over 20 years. His first venture began in 2005 with a fully furnished home in Berkeley, California — three years before Airbnb was founded. At the time, travelers visiting UC Berkeley had few choices beyond long-term leases or costly hotels.

Today, Mark is proud to welcome guests to The Cholla House in Palm Springs. Purchased in 2024 and beautifully renovated in 2025, the home blends modern luxury with desert charm.
Guests enjoy spacious, comfortable living spaces surrounded by stunning mountain views and a peaceful neighborhood atmosphere. While the property serves as an investment, Mark also spends time there personally, ensuring every aspect of the home meets the high standards he values as both a traveler and a host.
