Oh boy, I am just glad you discovered the problem.
My family has owned many stuccoed houses in New Mexico since the 1940s. Of course the climate there is usually rather arid while Florida's is wet and humid. Nevertheless, we always re-stucco with colored stucco rather than paint when significant cracks occur in the stucco. It costs a little more than painting but lasts for 15 to 30 years or more.
If the cracks are minor and localized painting may handle it for a time. The cracks may be due to settling if the stucco was properly applied and allowed to cure.
