Infused With the Spirit of Giving Back, Sandpipers’ 34th Annual Holiday Homes Tour Returns With Fresh Inspiration for the Festive Season
With open hearts and open doors, the stage is set for Sandpipers 34th Annual Holiday Homes Tour, returning with festive flair and a commitment to giving on Dec 4-6, 2026.
“The tour invites guests to experience the beauty of the holidays while making a big impact in the broader community,” says Gigi O’Malley, co-president of Sandpipers, with Diana Marin, who adds: “One of the things that makes the Holiday Homes Tour so special is that it has become much more than a fundraiser—it’s truly a South Bay tradition.”
Promising a seasonal extravaganza, Director Allyson Barrio says, “Every home reflects a different aspect of life in the South Bay, and I hope our guests enjoy a beautiful glimpse into our coastal lifestyle and leave feeling inspired for the holiday season.”
To that end, residences on Avenue B and Avenue F in South Redondo Beach will be festively dressed. Balancing elevated style with everyday livability, the newly built home on Avenue B was designed by Farinacci Design Group with interiors by Amanda Adams Design, and features holiday décor by Lori Ford of Gum Tree.
A longtime tour-goer, the homeowner shares, “It’s surreal—and really special—to now open our own home for an event that has been part of the community for so long.”
Nearby on Avenue F, Alexis Vitale of Vitale Design Group thoughtfully infused old-world character with a fresh, modern perspective.
“We wanted this home to feel like a conversation between old world and new, indoors and out, and ultimately between where this family has been, where they are now, and where they are going,” Vitale says.
In Manhattan Beach, a recently renovated Hill Section stunner on 8th Street combines East Coast-inspired millwork, sweeping, love-at-first-sight Pacific views and J. Harkavy Interiors. For the wonderfully cozy hidden gem on 5th Street, Beck + Brix HOME leads a stunning seasonal transformation packed with personality.
“Expect lots of color, playful details, and a few surprises along the way—all pulled together in a way that feels festive, welcoming, and, most importantly, fun,” the design team assures.
Finally, a beautiful full-circle moment awaits on Morningside Drive. Originally built by Matt Morris Development, the property welcomed Matt Morris back 12 years later to reimagine the space for its new owners. The home will feature holiday accents from West Elm throughout the main living areas and bedding designs and holiday accessories in the three children’s rooms, along with a family holiday tablescape and kitchen accessories from Waterleaf Home.
Beyond the five featured homes, guests will find comfort and joy in familiar tour faves, including the Holiday Boutique and Cafe at The Neptunian Woman’s Club, satellite cafes, and collaborations with local vendors.
A special opportunity drawing inspired by the residences puts a bow on this event. For a chance to take the holiday magic home, the design and decor partner of each home assembled a coordinated holiday decor package valued at $2,500 or more.
