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.

Lakefront Home + Private Beach + Firepit + Kayaks + Pets

I’ve been to a lot of AirBnBs and this was by far the most beautiful place. It fits 8 people and 3bed, 2 bath with a private living space. Very cozy. The deck is supplied with a TV, multiple hangout spots, blackstone grill kept clean. Free propane. Very responseful owners and love pets but didn’t seem like pets were there before. My young family thought it was better than Universal/Disney with the no planning and didn’t leave the property for 3 nights. Crystal lake is so peaceful a beautiful. A hidden gem. Only 30 minutes from Panama City too. Thanks for the kayaks and lifetime memories!

Better Than Universal/Disney

What a beautiful stay with no need to go anywhere!!! If you love the water you can stay busy for days swimming fishing kayaking. There’s even a boat ramp for this lake so you can tube and what not! We enjoyed every bit of it!

Beautiful Stay

Beautiful lake with kayaking. Walks around the lake. Short drive to Panama City Beach. Bonfire fun. Pet friendly. Great host.

Bonfire Fun

Our family of four humans and two dogs loved our stay. The property has so many amenities that we didn’t even use half of them. The spacious deck and pavilion areas were great for relaxing and wildlife watching. Spotted multiple bird types perch on the deck railing even whilst humans and dogs were present. The lake is beautiful and our dogs loved swimming and playing fetch on the sand. Our kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding (together, no less!) and parents did not have to worry about big waves or other dangers. The house provided plenty of room and the living room was perfect for family movie nights at the end of the day. Location was central to explore the area: we checked out Pitt and Sylvan Springs, Blue Spring, Falling Waters State Park, Shell Island, and Panama City Beach. Sunsets viewed on the sandy beach were incredible! All the normal things were great too (comfy beds, ample water pressure, cooking/dining needs). This was a perfect getaway and an absolute dog paradise!

Loved Our Stay

Amazing & relaxing time at Sean & Jolene’s cozy lake house!! Definitely want to come up in the summer!!
