I have rented from all 3 sites: David's, DVC Rental Store and DVC Rental Shop. I have been happy with the service of all of them.@Tuvalu have you rented points before? I'm wondering if that's the only way I'm ever going to able to afford staying here... I assume the points rental is cheaper than rack rate? Or I could be totally off base?
Points rental is cheaper than rack rate. Bigger savings can be found when booking a Confirmed Reservation ~ one that was already booked by a DVC member (with a set date and specific resort) who is unable to make the trip. Take a look here:

Booking a confirmed reservation makes the process of DVC rentals even quicker and more efficient. Browse confirmed DVC reservations today!

DVC Rental Store is a site sponsor here so the link should work.
You cannot change/modify a Confirmed Reservation. Each company has a cancellation policy, but the bottom line is you will lose most or all of your money if you need to cancel and any "refund" will be credit towards a future rental. The same terms apply when renting points for dates/resort of your choice. You can purchase private trip insurance but that typically won't cover canceling "for any reason."
So point rental is a gamble of sorts. But you can win with significant savings (especially since Disney has cut back on room discounts.)

The following is a PSA for anyone considering a stay at Copper Creek Villas.
Em and I had spent a few hours at the pool. We returned to our room to discover than none of the lights worked (a real crisis since the toilet and shower were in total darkness with the door closed.) Oddly enough, the power outlets and TV worked.
I pushed the "maintenance" button on the room phone and explained the situation to the person who answered. "We'll send someone over," was the reply.
Fortunately it wasn't too long before there was a knock on our door. A maintenance CM stood in the hall with a CM in training. "What's going on?" he asked.
"None of our lights work," I said.
"Did you check the master switch?" (He shook his head knowingly at the trainee.)
"What master switch?"
He stepped towards me and pointed to a light switch behind me, nearest the room door.
For the record the switch looked EXACTLY like every other light switch in our room, with the exception of the teeny tiny printing over the switch on the right.
"Press it," he said. I did and the lights came on.
"Reedy Creek made us install the master switch when these rooms were refurbished. Copper Creek Villas are the only resort that have them," he said. "Guests get so mad when they find their lights off."
YA THINK ???!!!!!
It wasn't til after he left that my mind flooded with questions.
1. Why isn't there a notification IN THE ROOM about the master switch?
2. Why didn't the person I spoke with on the phone tell me about the master switch? (It would have saved time for us and eliminated the need for a service call.)
3. Who turned the master switch off?
Well I quickly figured out the answer to #3. It wasn't Em nor me, although it would have been easy to accidentally hit the switch on our way out of the room. Our trash had been emptied, which meant someone had been in the room for a "room check."
Each subsequent day we'd return to find that dang switch off!

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't care for it, but it seems kinda barren. (The badges in the frame on the wall was nice, though.) And, no clock radio, Tuvalu!
