Can't ssh to vagrant + virtualbox (from vmware)

Question

I now my setup is redundant but it's only for testing purposes. I'm running VMware fusion 8.5.5 on my laptop. Inside my VMware I've installed Centos 7:

$ uname -r
3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64

After that I've installed vagrant

vagrant --version
Vagrant 1.9.3

And also virtualbox version 5.1.18 r114002

But when I start a vagrant box I'm unable to ssh. Never. The OS of the box doesn't matter:

$ vagrant init bento/centos-7.2
$ vagrant up

I'm facing this error when I try to check the virtual box GUI but I would think it's not problem in my case. I just try to ssh.

Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system.

I had the same problem, this is a bug in the virtual box version you're using. try downloading virtualbox 5.1.4
