Hey there, design enthusiasts! On July 9, HGTV's Battle on the Beach wrapped up its third season with a bang, crowning a new set of winners in the season finale. This episode, titled "Champions of the Beach," was nothing short of thrilling, as three teams battled it out to transform a Gulf Shores, Alabama, beach bungalow into a dream home. Let me tell you, the competition was fierce, and the creativity was off the charts.
Ashley Basnight and Steve Lewis Steal the Show
When the dust settled, it was Ashley Basnight and Steve Lewis, part of Ty Pennington's team, who emerged victorious. Their jaw-dropping beach house renovation left the judges, Sarah and Bryan Baeumler, utterly speechless. The pair’s hard work, attention to detail, and innovative design choices earned them the title of champions.
Sarah praised the kitchen, calling it "a wonderful mix of being here forever and new and fresh." She added, "It’s almost like a generational kitchen, which I love." Bryan echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing how each room told a story. It was clear from their reactions that Ashley and Steve had truly outdone themselves.

The Winning Touch: A Bali-Inspired Master Suite
The judges weren’t just wowed by the kitchen; Ashley and Steve’s master suite and bathroom also played a significant role in securing their win. Bryan was particularly impressed, saying, "I felt like I had arrived in Bali." He went on to rave about the vibe, the wall treatments, and the creative touches, such as the birdhouse and privacy screen outside the balcony. The antique wall panels around the bed were another highlight that caught his eye.
For their efforts, Ashley and Steve took home a cool $50,000. That’s a pretty sweet reward for six episodes of sweat, creativity, and sheer determination. Their win was celebrated not just by the judges but also by fans who tuned in religiously each week.
Fans React: A Well-Deserved Victory
Social media exploded with congratulatory messages after the finale aired. One Instagram follower commented on Steve’s page, "You, Ashley, and Ty were my favorite team!!! I was rooting for you each week. Very happy with the ending. Great job on the entire house — love your team’s design and style — that kitchen was gorgeous!!" The sentiment was shared by many others, showcasing the impact Ashley and Steve had on the audience.
Strong Competition and Future Seasons
Ashley and Steve faced stiff competition from other talented teams. Ben Argall and Pete Meldrum, representing Alison Victoria’s team, impressed the judges with their craftsmanship. Meanwhile, Ryan and Kelsey Mansingh, part of Taniya Nayak’s team, created a functional and spacious environment in their house. Each team brought something unique to the table, making the finale a tough call for the judges.
As of now, there’s no official word on a Season 4 for Battle on the Beach. However, the show has already garnered a massive following, thanks to Ty, Alison, and Taniya’s design expertise. Fans are eagerly awaiting news of the next season, hoping to see more talent, more drama, and more breathtaking transformations.
