With this kind of thing, you really get what you pay for.
I know this is a fair bit more than you want to spend, but in the grand scheme of things, not much. If you're reasonably serious about it, do yourself the favor and spend the extra money on a guitar that's actually going to sound decent and won't go out of tune every five seconds, that won't have as many intonation problems. That won't look and feel cheap.
Yamaha actually makes some really great sounding, great playing low end guitars. I highly recommend them.
Acoustic guitar Yamaha FD01S, bought few month ago for practice on amazon. Leaving soon and not sure how to carry it on plane. PM for details.
I prefer Yamaha, likely as it is what I started on. Not only are they great instruments but are built to last, I still have (and use) my Yamaha from back when I started.
You will likely get a different answer for every person you ask, however I would suggest something like this, personally.

\> due to budget constraints I was thinking of learning to play through Fender Play
Another option: Amazon is currently offering 3 months of Fender Play with select purchases. Maybe consider something like this. Using the $500, or at least a portion of it, to augment the Fender Play with private lessons.
If it turns out it's something you want to stick with, then you can upgrade your guitar.
