My family of 5 has been camping about 3x per year in an REI Kingdom 6 for 15 years. It’s discontinued now, but it’s been awesome for us, even in thunderstorms in Yellowstone and high winds in Mojave, and we have never wished for more space. Enjoy your camping journey.
I have the REI Kingdom 6 and it fits my Megamat Duo with room for bags and a dog bed. They stopped making the Kingdom tents, but the Wonderland series is similar.
That's not a bad price. I think I paid $250 for a smoker owned Kingdom 6 with Garage and Vestibule that other than the smell was perfect. A couple washes with enzyme soap and I'm back in business.
I don't think it will be as roomy as you would like though. We're 2 adults, 4yo and a small dog and it would be sufficient sleeping space but no extra room.
Is that 3 humans plus a dog? I'm assuming car camping, so check the REI Wonderland, it replaced the Kingdom series ( which is what I have and was going to recommend). They do a few sizes, you'll probably want the six person for extra room and gear.

I would focus on the REI Westward 6. (Read reviews of course). We have an earlier version of a 6 person REI tent (the Kingdom) and we love it for 2 people on cots plus a small dog. The Westward is tall. A 6 person may be big, but with the cots, it's perfect. If camping at campgrounds you just have to be mindful of the campsites you choose due to the larger floor. We haven't had any troubles, but I also always check before booking.
I have a North Face Wawona 4 as well. 2 cots work in it as well, but it's tight and probably wouldn't work well with a larger dog.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
