The host port was changed correctly but the solution was simple (for me).
For anyone else having a similar issue, my problem was that the network 
location was not "private." As soon as I changed this, vagrant could 
communicate. I imagine the firewall restrictions were stiffer for public 
network. I was going for a basebox as default as possible so firewall 
functionality left as-is.

This is done simplest by allowing network discovery or slightly more 
complicatedly:
