HGTV STARS SARAH BAEUMLER, MIKA KLEINSCHMIDT AND TY PENNINGTON OVERSEE MASSIVE VACATION RENTAL RENOS IN NEW SEASON OF HIT COMPETITION SERIES ‘BATTLE ON THE BEACH’

HGTV’s epic surfside home renovation competition Battle on the Beach will head to the Grand Strand, South Carolina’s hot vacation destination, in its latest seven-episode season premiering Monday, June 1, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. During the series, which attracted 15.5 million viewers across linear and streaming to its last run, HGTV stars Sarah Baeumler (Rock the Block), Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home) and Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) will each mentor a two-person team of promising renovators as they vie to transform lackluster beachfront vacation properties—and the biggest homes in Battle on the Beach history—into stunning waterfront escapes that deliver top reviews and top dollar.

Armed with $100,000, seven weeks and invaluable advice from their respected mentors, the teams will overhaul the dated digs while navigating unprecedented design challenges, including repurposing discarded roadside finds in their homes and swapping partners for the chance at additional prize money. Husband-and-wife renovation duo Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama (Renovation Aloha) will determine which team increases the rental value of each week’s revamped space, with the winner given a critical choice: take home $3,000 now or apply $6,000 to the final grand prize. When the stunning renos are complete, the team who clinches the highest peak season rate for their short-term rental will claim a cash prize of at least $50,000, with their mentor boasting ultimate bragging rights.

In the supersized two-hour premiere, Sarah, Mika and Ty will guide their respective teams—married couple Steven and Angelina Jacobs of Waterbury, Connecticut; husband-wife team Josiah and Anna Julian of Baltimore, Maryland; and mother-daughter duo Michelle Mueller and Sydney Lorence of Lincoln, Nebraska—to create the ideal first impression in the living room, the heart of the home that also provides the best ocean views. In the kick-off challenge race through Garden City, the teams will follow clues in hopes of reaching the pier first to win a top advantage: choosing their preferred beach house and assigning the other two properties to the competitors. As the season continues, the teams will design more vacation-worthy rooms, including the kitchens, dining rooms, main suites, guest bedrooms, bathrooms and exteriors.
