Welcome to The Fifth Promise — Your Private Lakefront Escape
Come unwind at this serene lakefront retreat, where your very own private white-sand beach, spring-fed waters, and thoughtfully curated outdoor spaces invite you to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories. Whether you’re gathering with family, close friends, or that special someone, The Fifth Promise is designed for comfort, connection, and a bit of magic.
Step into a lakeside paradise where the gentle slope of the beach leads you into the crystal-clear, spring-fed waters of Crystal Lake. Lounge under the beachside pavilion while music plays, the kids splash nearby, and the game plays quietly in the background on the retractable Roku-equipped TV. It’s the kind of setting where laughter echoes, time slows, and everyone finds their rhythm.
Just 30 minutes from the Gulf beaches and Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, you’re close to everything—but tucked away enough to feel like your own private world. Explore local springs, caves, fishing spots, horseback trails, and outdoor recreation—all within easy reach.
Upper Deck Highlights:
Sectional seating for five, dining table for four, and two additional chairs
Alexa-enabled music and high-volume fans to keep you cool
28” Blackstone propane grill overlooking the lake for unforgettable outdoor meals
Citronella lamps placed throughout to keep your evenings peaceful and bug-free
Beneath the Deck:
Luxury outdoor shower with rainhead and hand wand
Romantic couples’ swing on a small deck with sweeping lake views
Firewood stocked and ready for cozy evenings under the stars
Terrace Features:
Firepit with seating for six
Outdoor dining table for six
Cornhole set and citronella lamps for fun-filled, comfortable nights
Beachside Pavilion:
Sofa seating for five, additional chairs, and hammock-ready posts
Outdoor refrigerator, Alexa music, Bluetooth speaker system
TV with Roku on a retractable mount—perfect for watching the game lakeside
On the Water:
Soft white sand leading to clean, spring-fed waters
Adirondack chairs and table right on the beach
Large floating dock for sunbathing or launching into the lake
Several kayaks, floats, a paddleboard, and all the gear (life vests, paddles, whistles, seats) you need for safe, memorable fun
Even a small beachside firepit for those spontaneous evening fires by the water
This is more than a vacation home—it's a promise kept, a story waiting to be written, and a place where your best memories are just waiting to happen.
We can’t wait to share our little slice of paradise with you.

About the host
Hosted by Sean and Jolene Fretenborough
Before we got married, my wife made it clear she wasn’t totally on board with having kids—but said she’d consider it if I could deliver on five promises. (She was 20 at the time, so let’s just say I got lucky with the definitions. 😄)
A “rock” for a ring 💍
Good health insurance 🏥
The choice to be a stay-at-home mom 💼
The Jeep of her dreams 🚙
A lake house 🏡
I knocked out the first three pretty quickly. Jolene was able to volunteer her time with the boys' schools and be there for them as they grew into men. She got her dream Jeep in 2020. And on 2/22/2022, I finally delivered the last one-the lake house.
What we didn’t know at the time was that this house just so happened to be right next door to the one where she spent her favorite summers growing up. Total accident… but absolutely meant to be.
We named it The Fifth Promise because that’s exactly what it is: the final item on a list of commitments I made to the love of my life. It’s our little slice of paradise, and we’ve been improving it ever since-because fulfilling the promise wasn’t the end... it was the beginning of building something we could share. 💛
Why they chose this property
What makes this property unique
We are our own guests.
We spend as much time here as life allows, which means we’re always looking for the little details that turn a stay into a memory. Every feature—from the beachside pavilion to the cozy swing under the deck—has been added with intention, shaped by our own family moments and inspired by what we’d want in a truly unforgettable getaway.
This isn’t just a rental—it’s a promise fulfilled, a place rooted in love and connection. And based on what our guests have shared, we think we’ve created something special.
We hope you feel the same.
