I initially had set it up with the vagrantfile v1, i thought that changing to v2 would fix my issue.

Vagrant file v1

Vagrant.configure("1") do |config|
  config.vm.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--name", "app", "--memory", "512"]
  config.vm.box = "lucid64_with_ruby193"
  config.vm.host_name = "app"
  config.vm.forward_port 2222, 22, :auto => true
  config.vm.network :hostonly, "33.33.13.37"
  config.vm.share_folder "puppet", "/etc/puppet", "../massiveapp_ops"
end

Vagrantfile v2

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :


Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  
  config.vm.box = "lucid64_with_ruby193"
  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 2222, id: "ssh"
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "33.33.13.37"
  config.vm.synced_folder  "../massiveapp_ops", "/etc/puppet"
  config.vm.hostname = "app"

  
 config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
   # Don't boot with headless mode
   vb.gui = true

   # Use VBoxManage to customize the VM. For example to change memory:
   vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--name", "app", "--memory", "512"]
 end
end
