About the host

Hosted by Mark Foy

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

Upper Araby Cove Location Advantages

+ The Upper Araby Cove, in southern Palm Springs, is elevated a bit above the main part of the city, and is tucked up against Southridge (with well-known houses like the Bob Hope House, Steve McQueen House, Elrod House).

+ There is almost no airport or airplane noise in the Upper Araby Cove because we are too close to the mountains to make it reasonable for airplane flight paths (landings / takeoffs); (the other parts of Palm Springs can have a lot of airplane or airport notice due to flight paths or direct proximity to the airport).

+ Much less wind in the Upper Araby Cove; therefore we get almost no blowing sand; which is very different than the north/central part of the city (especially north Palm Springs) where blowing sand (and wind in general) can make it considerably uncomfortable.

+ Only 77 homes in Araby Cove.

+ Easy access to some of the most amazing hiking trails in Palm Springs (e.g., the Araby Trail and the Earl Henderson Trail)

What makes this property unique

What Makes the Cholla House Unique

+ Being perched on a hillside above Palm Springs, with 180 degrees views of the Coachella Valley (not cinderblock walls or ficus hedges), makes the Cholla House very unique.

+ You will not find many houses in Palm Springs where you can sit in either the hot tub or the living room sofa and have a view of Palm Springs (twinkling lights at night), full views of the mountains beyond the city (San Jacinto and San Gorgonio), and seeing the sunset dip below the horizon as it dopped down behind the San Gorgonio Pass.

+ Other unique aspects of the Cholla House: 10 foot ceiling, spacious living area with open-concept kitchen that flows into dining and living areas, all with amazing views.

+ very little wind and sand compared to other parts of the city, and no airplane or airport noise.
