Watch a Sneak Peek: 'Battle on the Beach' Season 5 Introduces New Twists

HGTV’s epic surfside home renovation competition Battle on the Beach will head to the Grand Strand, South Carolina’s hot vacation destination for a new, seven-episode season, premiering Monday, June 1 at 9|8c.

Who Are the Season 5 Mentors?

This season HGTV stars Sarah Baeumler (Rock the Block), Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home) and Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) are each mentoring one two-person team of promising renovators as they vie to transform lackluster beachfront vacation properties — the biggest homes in Battle on the Beach history — into waterfront escapes.

What to Expect From Season 5

Armed with $100,000, seven weeks and invaluable advice from their respected mentors, the teams will overhaul the dated digs while navigating 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, hosts of Renovation Aloha, will judge the competition. The weekly winners will be given a critical choice: Take home $3,000 now or apply $6,000 to the final grand prize.

When the 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. And the winning mentor will get ultimate bragging rights.

Who Is Competing in Season 5?

• Team Sarah: Married couple Steven and Angelina Jacobs of Waterbury, Connecticut
• Team Mika: Husband-wife team Josiah and Anna Julian of Baltimore, Maryland
• Team Ty: Mother-daughter duo Michelle Mueller and Sydney Lorence of Lincoln, Nebraska

In the two-hour premiere, Sarah, Mika and Ty will guide their teams in creating the ideal first impression in the living room (which 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.
