Please tell us exactly what you want to achive.
I’m asking because the question you ask applies only to custom domains and you have a .wordpress.com site on a subdomain.

Are you asking how to link this site http://tradingpostresort.wordpress.com/
to a custom domain name that you already own?We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
To map an existing domain http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.
What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
You can use the Personal Plan if all you want is a custom domain, removal of advertising, live chat support and 6GB Storage Space but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically. Go to http://wordpress.com/plans to upgrade.

I have a domain registered with GoDaddy and hosted through Site5. I am trying to attach the site I created here to Site5 and they told me I need to contact WP to get my CNAME record to give to Site5.

Hi there,
It sounds like you want to map your WordPress.com site to a subdomain on your website.
To do that you’ll need a paid plan on your WordPress.com site with the domain mapping upgrade for the subdomain you want to use.
And at Site5 you’ll need to add a CNAME record for the subdomain pointing to your free WordPress.com address, tradingpostresort.wordpress.com
